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!

Moscow, Russia
I'm stuck in the Russian airport. Got here around 2 hours ago. It's kind of boring but good thing there is free internet while waiting. It's 1 hour left before my plane to Tokyo is departing. I was so lucky when I took the other plane from Arlanda Airport in Sweden. Just before they were letting people on the plain they called my name in the speakers and it turned out that they had changed my seat. I got replaced to the luxuary class and I was offered lunch, drinks, snacks what I wanted without even having to pay for it. How nice ain't that?
Other than that I don't have that much to tell. I'm really tired since I've lacked alot of sleep the previous nights and having to just sit around and wait really makes you feel drowsy. Now there's only 9½ hour on the next plane before I arrive in Tokyo. Apparentley it's really hot. That's quite a change thinking of how much it has rained in Sweden the past few days.
I feel excited even though I'm tired and when I arrive in the morning at 10:20 to Narita Airport I still have quite a journey to my home in Shiki. I will have to take the Kensei Skyliner (always wanted to try it before ^_^) to Nippori which takes about an hour. Then change to Jr Yamanote Line to Ikebukuro which takes about 20 minutes and from there change to Tobu Tojo Line to Shiki Station before having to walk to my home. I'm so afraid of the skyliner, metro and such stuff since I have never ridden those before except the metro which I still don't really understand.
Wellwell, now I'm off to Tokyo once again and we'll see when and if I arrive and will be able to use my computer again! I'm so looking forward to this ultra cool airplane that flies the long routes!

Packed up
Now I am finally all packed and done, can't believe how I got sooo much clothing and stuff into my suitcase and it isn't even full yet. Not only that, it only weigthed 18-19 kg and I have up to 23 kg. Usually I'm always over the limit even though I'm only traveling for like 1-2 weeks. Even so, I'm going to throw alot of stuff away before returning aswell so it will be fine!
Tomorrows the big take off so I believe I won't be able to sleep tonight either!
Då var man äntligen klar med packningen, fattar inte hur jag lyckades packa ner så himla mycket kläder och grejer i väskan och den är inte ens full. På det så väger den endast 18-19 kg varav väskan väger mer än 5 kg bara den. I vanliga fall så väger min väska alltid mer än tillåten vikt redan på nervägen haha! Men men sen slänger jag även en hel del grejer där nere innan jag kmr hem också så det löser sig! Imorgon åker jag så jag lär inte få mycket sömn inatt inte!
In the background you can also see my awesome katanas, that I got as a present on my birthday, now I'm able to be a real samurai! >:D
まったね~

2 days left!
Only 2 days left now and it really feels like the days are going in slowmotion, I've been in such a huge tristess that I almost gone insane, or so it feels like. Well today I went to the bank in Västerås and got my japanese Yen that I ordered last week and also got my pictures taken for some kind of ID card I think it's supposed to be for. Anyway less than 2 days left before I move, I got some travel fever like 2 days ago. It doesn't feel quite real that I am finally going to fulfill my dream off moving to Japan. I've dreamt about this day for sooo many years and now it's just around the corner. So yeah I'm quite nervous, this is my first trip all alone so I hope it will go smoothly. Now I'm off to finish my packing and I'm not sure if I will blogg anything before arriving in Tokyo, so we'll see!
Nu var det väldigt länge sen jag faktiskt skrev på svenska, men jag kände för det så. Nu är det alltså bara 2 dagar kvar innan jag flyttar och uppfyller min dröm. Jag har nog inte riktigt greppat det här heller, känns så overkligt på något sätt. Det är trots allt första gången jag reser helt själv, tidigare har det iaf varit med någon kompis åtminstonde. Men förhoppningsvis flyter det på bra under resan. Var till banken idag och hämtade ut de japanska Yenen som jag beställt. Det blev 135'000 Yen som motsvarar nästan 13'000 sek. Ska ha det till bl.a. mat, transport och nöje, men sen har jag lagt undan en summa på kontot ifall jag spenderar alldeles för mycket där nere. Tog även foton ur en automat som jag fick papper om ska medtas, tror det är något ID korts liknande eller möjligtvis pendlarkortet. Men men, nu ska jag försöka fortsätta packa. Har inte gått så bra eftersom jag är världens segaste på att packa och skjuter gärna upp det! Vet inte riktigt om jag hinner blogga något innan jag anländt i Tokyo och inte heller när jag isf får tag i internet, så vi får se!
