Japanese TV - Way too much rain... and BLING

Is so much fun. I use my nights watching tv, and I really don't understand much of it, but it's still great to watch while I read or draw.

I took a few photos of the screen.... just because.


Mr. Pirate here was one of the comedian contestants in a show. He was funny :3



Yeah, that's a Death Note cosplay XD those guys in jump suits are trying to remove the wires that he came down from the ceiling with
He wasn't realy happy about that XD



Cut to a harbor scene... and...

This guy turns up... playing realy, really bad XD


Isn't he just Mr. Sexaaaah!


And he chased around poor people.... playing up against them XD So much fun!!

I also watched The Matrix 3 in japanese... Neo sounds good, but Morpheus... again with the darkest voice known to man XD


Today, it was raining.... actually, it started raining last night, and it just continued, it's still raining, and it's 20.39. So we just stayed home more or less and made a few quick stops at Metropolitan and OICITY. I bought a bikini skirt for my brown bikini. We're gonna go to Disney Sea soon, so....



Yesterday I had gotten a mirror at the 100yen store, and today I bought bling at Claire's to decorate it with.

And... some bling for my borrowed phone:


I'm gonna end today with a short video I made wo days ago, from my room:



See you around!!

The first couple of days

So... this will be a bit of a photo post :3 hope you can acept that XD


The view from my room.


Sascha and Louise, enjoying breakfast at the local café.

We went exploring the various shopping centers, here in our neighbourhood. There is three, OICITY, TOBU and Metropolitan, all within 5 minutes walking distance (Yay for our feet, not so yay for our wallets XD)


My loot for the day, I didn't bring that much clothes, and this dress and the short hoodie was to die for!

Other things in the picture:
Curling iron
Sunglasses
Hair pins with roses
Fake eyelashes
Nailpolish
A pair of scissors
Ornaments for the nails :3


How my nails turned out


God, I need to fix my nail beds >_<


Day three we went to Harajuku (YAY!)


Louise and I right at Harajuku Str.


We tried purikura :3


The result XD

Harajuku is like a maze, there's so many small streets and if you don't look up, you might miss some of the stores located n 2nd floor.
We found some of the brand stores, like Putumayo (AHMAGAWD!!) where I bought a pink dress, Tralala, Sexy Dynamite London, Liz Lisa and Body Line.

I sneaked a few shots while the shop assistant was mesmerized by the cuteness of Louise



I was so in love with those bow bags! The pink the pink !!




At one of the smaller streets posing like mad XD



We were kinda lost at one point XD
We found Metamorphose.. but they were closed!!!!


Louise and Sascha taking a break.

I bought these necklaces as a comfort gift for myself XD




Going home, I took this pic of the girls.... they bought a whole lot more than I did XD

Coming home I was aaaaaaall beat and just watched TV in my rom. They showed The Scorpion King with japanese dub XD The Rock sounds hilarious in japanese!! With the darkest voice known to man XD


Yesterday we went to Shinjuku, biggest station in the world!! Christ it was huge, but pretty easy to get around in, as everywhere has signs.
We went to MaruiOne (which was disguised as OIONE) And looked at alot of the big brands, like Moi Meme Moitie, Baby the Stars Shine Bright, Metamorphose, Black Peace Now and more.. I was half expecting that I'd try to buy everything, but now that I'm here, I'm getting very picky and I'd rather see alot and go much later and buy something, when I'm sure I really want it.

I did buy this bag however, as I've practically been lusting after that bag ever since I saw it for the first time.

Lookit the pretty swans <3

When we came home, we were all tired, again. But around 6 I went out on my own and wandered the neighbourhood.

Travelling, waiting, birthday gift and Japan

So, I left DK yesterday at 10 am, saying goodbye to the family, Keon, Marie, Anja, and one of my parents friends who works at the airport.
Everything went really smoothly, and I got on board safely.
2 Hours later, I was in Heathrow Airport, waiting at the gate, when this young japanase guy came over and we talked for a little while, his name is Nori, and he's DJ'ing in Tokyo soon, so he invited me to come party at Club Wire, and to bring my friends.

The flight to Japan was nice, good service, nice people, and I had a window seat and the seat next to me (between me and the isle) all to myself (yay for me!) The seat however was designed poorly, so even though I sat pretty good, it was impossible to sleep in it ;_; the neck rest was just a nightmare and pushed my head forward >_>'''
I saw a few movies on the plane:
27 Dresses
Jumper
Spiderwick
Hitman (well duh! You didn't think I'd miss the Olyphant did you?!)
And then I spaced out to Top Gear eps 4, and some progrm about an english transvestite compeeding in a big pageant in Thailand (of course)
So, all in all I slept for about 2 hours.
The plane landed 50 minutes ahead of schedule, so I just went to the Glass Tower where I was to wait for Sascha and Louise, but not before I bumped into Nori who got my email adress.

Sascha and Louise came aprox. 2 hours after and we catched a bus to the city (60 km away)
Then after getting off at The Metropolitan Hotel in Ikebukuro we wandered around with our luggage trying to find the hotel. 3 very helpful people ater, we arrived at our first home (we're moving on after the 12th of july, to a new Sakura Hotel)
I haven't taken pictures of my room yet, but it's great, and I will, so you can see.

We then slept for 3 hours, got up around 6 pm and went out, originally because we wanted something to eat, but we ended up shopping too, I bought a pair of extremely cute earrings for myself as present and also got a couple of magazines, Fran candy (like Pocky, but better) something to drink later and the most coveted of hairsprays VO5.
We ate at tis cozy restaurant in the basement of some building, and through stuttering japanese, english and alot of "Nan demo nai" we ordered our food. The waiter was very helpful and chose for us as we couldn't read the menu (great to end up at one of the places that does NOT have pictures of the dishes on the menu >_< )
A few pictures taken with Sascha's cam:

Louise and Sascha beside one of the entrances to Ikebukuro St.

At the restaurant this picture hang above our able XD




So yeah, now we're hanging out in Sascha and Louise's room, listening to music and reading magazines.

I'm loving it here. There's so much to see, to experience!!

Love you all.
