Found another picture of my friends and some of the people of the DK Shiki House I lived in! The picture is taken in the dining room next to the kitchen.

 

 

 

Found this old picture of my friends back in Tokyo, I really miss how amazingly fun we had. And I'm so happy that some of my friends from Tokyo is coming back around the same time as me!

Shiki City Festival

So for this days countdown I can gladly say that I just bought my one-way ticket to Narita Airport, Tokyo. Things are finally falling to place!

 

99 days to go! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

 

 

Yesterday was my countdown on 100 days until I move to Japan! I'm feeling so excited and since I haven't been updating at all lately I thought I'm gonna try to upload one picture a day, just for fun and see if I can manage it.


It is so amazing how many readers I have even though it sometimes takes me months to just update one post. But I can promise that this time around. I am going to take so many photos in Tokyo and I'm considering starting with v-logs as a compliment where I can express my feelings at the moment, my thoughts and experiences.

I'm literally drowning in the masses of homework to do, loads of big essays and tests coming up in the next 2-3 weeks. So I am basically going to school, get home to study and go to bed. My days aren't even worth mentioning.

But last friday the Swedish exchange students and some of the Irish ones went out to the city's biggest night club called Pluto. Overall we were 21 people going in, but by the time the club closed we were only 4 people as I was the only Swedish one, lol. But yeah we had a blast and Irish people sure know how to let loose.

Yesterday I paid for my education at ISI. Which makes me one step closer to getting back to Tokyo. Only 149 days left to go and I am feeling quite good about findig so many good apartments in Nakano with cheaper rent and a lot closer to school since they are mostly about 6 minutes away from Shinjuku. (≧∇≦)/

Not that much happening at the moment, I only have 2 more days of the holiday left. And on Monday we will have some Irish exchange studens coming to school, since I among other students from my school went for 3 weeks to Ireland in the end of November.

 

So I have mostly just been lazying around at home, reading, and watching movies allday trying to study without any results. But also done some reasearch on findig an apartment by the time I move back to Japan. I am considering to live at DK Shiki again like last year for a month until I've found an apartment on my own. The thing is that I really want it as close to the centralpart of town, in my meaning somewhere around ikebukuro/shibuya/harajuku/shinjuku. And the best area I've found is Nakano which some of my friends just moved to. It's only 3 min from Shinjuku by train and would be great for me to live since it's near my school, near my favourite places and close to get home to after a night out. ψ(｀∇´)ψ

But of course the rent is quite high around 70'000 yen and up for a 12sqm big room with kitchen and toilet. But at the same time, my transport will be alot cheaper!

Guess we'll see what I shall decide!

So now I have sent my application for a whole year in Tokyo at ISI Language School. It is the same school that I studied at last summer, and as a bonus I have 10% as a discount this year! I will be noticed next week if I have been accepted! I miss my friends and my whole life back in Japan! So the date is set for the flight at the 18th of June for now!

I CAN'T WAIT!

So, it's been already half a year since I wrote last time, which was right before I left for Tokyo if I remember correctly. I don't really now what happened with the absent of my writing, I guess I was way to busy and somehow put the blog aside, which I feel now afterwards for my own sake wasn't quite that good. Would have been nice to be able to look back once in a while and read about all the crazy stuff I was doing, the events that occured, the people I met and the feelings I had.

But anyway I have decided to just make a new start this year and hopefully write some entry's quite reguraly. But I will show you the pictures and videos I took when I living in Tokyo and all of the other travels I did during 2012 also, Ireland among others!

Even though it is a little bit to late: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

So, I manage to take the rigth plane to Japan but it was such a long trip and ohmygod how boring it was. I wasn't able to sleep during the flight either so it was pretty much a pain in the ass so to speak. I felt nauseas and it was almost no oxygen either. I couldn't even eat the food since I'm a vegeterian so I was like starving. But one good thing is that there was a screen in front of your seat so you could at least entertain yourself. I watched the movie 27 dresses and played games for the whole trip.

Beside me there was a really nice Japanese guy that helped me to fill in all the papers and such stuff. When I was searching for the right way for the trains he even helped me to get to the right way and to buy a ticket. I found the Keisei Skyline that took me about 75 minutes before I got to Nippori. On the train I managed to ask a guy in Japanese for directions. He and his female friends were soooo nice and talked to me in both japanese and the little english they knew. They were so kind and even helped me in Nippori when I had to get on Yamanote Line and get off in Ikebukuro.

When I got to the station I asked a young woman for help and she helped me get a ticket and where to go. I asked one more woman fore directions of tracks for the Tobu Tojo Line for Shiki. When I managed to get the right track I just had to find the right metro. And older man at around 50 that helped me on the train and even carried my luggage the whole way to my Shiki House, we talked about soo many things and all in Japanese. He was soooo nice and even gave me his numberin case I got into trouble.

The Japanese people are on such a different level from Swedish people. Every single person that you ask will help you. It's amazing how people can come up to you if you lost your way or something and they help you on everything.

My room in the Guest House is kinda small but also very cozy. I'm gonna show some pictures in an other entry!
