I'm sorry it took me an eternity to write here, but oh well... Now I'm ready to start with this big project, which I want to finish as fast as I can *laugh* So, it's already over 2 months since I came back to Finland and all that time I have been just way too lazy and at some times also busy, so I didn't write. Yeap, bad excuses, but better later than never, right? ^^ I try to post these entries as often as I can, but sadly also making the pictures size smaller will take some time, but at least I have decided all pictures, which I'll put here ^^ In total 109 pictures, so some entries will have a lot of pictures and some not so much, and depending also of that, I might only write about one or 2 days in one entry and in some other entries there might be stories from 3 or 4 different days. *laugh* But I hope you enjoy and sorry that I kept you all waiting so long ;-; And if there is anything you want to ask or want to know more, just ask ^^ Of some things I'm just telling quite briefly~
20th of March 2014 "Here I come, Tokyo!"
So 20th was my last day at work before leaving all regular life behind. It was a short day, but I managed to keep myself almost too busy all the time. In the end I left work and came home to pack last things and get ready before heading to the airport. This time I flew with JAL and I really liked it ^^ The staff on the plane was super nice and polite, and the food was much better than on Finnair's flight. Also the entertainment system was better~ So, I really enjoyed of my flight ^^
21st of March, 1st day in Tokyo
I arrived to Tokyo on the morning and traveled from Narita airport to Nakano, where I was going to spend first 3 nights. I stayed there at my friend's place~ ^^ First we took my suitcase to my friend's place before going to eat. The time had passed way too fast and actually the sun had started to set once we got out from the restaurant. Then we went back to my friend's place to get some things for the evening before going to Shibuya. My friend met her friend in there, and I met Urtsi, who I had met first time on my first trip to Japan ^^ It was nice to hang out with her since after that trip in 2011, we have only seen each other in concerts in Finland, so we haven't had so much time to talk. I just hope we could meet soon again since I really like spending time with her! ^^
Sadly we had only few hours time before my friend came back and me and her went to internet cafe to get ready for the evening. She was having a birthday party, and she had also asked me to come there ^^ We spent few hours in the internet cafe, which was actually a nice place to spend time. You can use computer there, read manga/magazines, drink different kind of soft drinks and coffee/tea, or of course you can also sleep, if you feel like sleeping *laugh* But we were there just to get ready for the evening and I also had to book one concert ticket, so... After that my friend had to go and make the last preparations for her party, so I met with some members of German's MJP team. It was nice to get new friends and actually it was quite easy to spend time with them ^^ Of course at some points I couldn't understand everything, when they spoke in German, but otherwise I had fun with them~ First we went to a izakaya to eat. I have probably also earlier mentioned izakaya in here, but it's a restaurant, where you go with your friends or co-workers and spend the evening there eating and drinking. The food is actually quite cheap and the best way is to order few different kinds of foods with your friends and then share everything, and then just split the bill, so that everyone will pay the same amount ^^ In the end we also got to the bar, where my friend had her birthday party and I changed few words with her before just spending the rest of the night with my new friends~ The evening was nice and I really had fun, so my trip got a great start. The day was just a bit long and tiring since I slept on the plane only maybe 3h or maybe a bit more than that and then stayed awake until 6am on the next morning *laugh*
22nd of March, 2nd day in Tokyo
I wish I could have slept more on the night, but you can't always win and I had someone, who I was supposed to meet. I had agreed to meet my friend Shinya, who I hadn't met ever before, so I was a bit nervous to meet her *laugh* But in the end everything went fine, and I'm happy about that ^^
First we went to eat at Sweets Paradise~ It's a restaurant, where you pay the entrance fee (1480yen) and then you have 1h time to eat as much as you can~ There are served different kinds of pastas and sometimes even pizza, but like the name says, the main point are all sweets in there ^^ Many different kinds of cakes and other baked sweets, ice cream and then you can even make shaved ice and but different kinds of syrups on top of it~ So, normally in the end you might end up eating too much sweets, and you won't want to have any sweets in a long while *laugh* While eating we talked a lot about everything. It was easy to talk with Shinya~ ^^
After having that for lunch/breakfast we just walked around Harajuku and visited some stores. I ended up buying maybe a bit too many Kagrra, and Girugamesh CDs and other stuff, but oh well... It happens sometimes *laugh* The shop, where I bought those, was Closet Child, so the CDs were used, but they were in a great condition and the prices weren't bad at all, even though some of the CDs were rare ones ^^ That's something, what kind of made me surprised, since in Finland rare things would be much more expensive.
So, after spending a bit too much money we went to Starbucks and I was happy to get my first Matcha cream frappuccino. *laugh* (Yeap, the best drink in Starbucks in Japan) We sat at the cafe maybe 3h and just talked and talked... *laugh* No awkward silences or anything, there was all the time something, what we were able to talk about. ^^ But in the end the day also came to an end and I had to head back to my friend's place. At that point the sun had set already and the weather was quite cold, but anyways... I stayed up until 3am or something and just talked with my friend, so the day didn't end so early as I had thought *laugh*
