Woooooooooooow, he's on a roll now...! Nooooot.

I decided to do another update today, right here and right now. This feels weird though, as I have this feeling it's only Monday, because I went to school today. The reason why I didn't go to school between Tuesday-Thursday was because I had no schoooool!!! Well others were doing tests and I only had my tests on Monday and Friday (today).

So, what did I do on Tuesday? Three choices: A) Went to Tokyo, B) Went to Tokyo and C) Went to Tokyo. YES!!! I went to Tokyooooo!!! So the day started with me waking up around 9a.m. (omg, can you believe that! D88 ME waking up at 9a.m. on HOLIDAY!! D888) So what I did was 1) I ate breakfast; 2) got ready (hair, clothes etc.) and then my host-mum drove me to the station where I continued alone by Tsukuba Express to Akihabaraaaa!

It was around 11a.m. when I arrived Akihabara and guess what was the first thing I did when I came out from the station? It starts with a "S" and ends with the same letter...! YES!! STARBUCKS!! No I am not a Starbucks maniac (maybe), but that was the first thing I saw when I got out from the station. ::D And then I was like "oooooomygoooooood, now I'm gonna try blueberry frapuccino" and as you can see from the picture above, I bought it. 8)) It was really good, as you would expect from Starbucks' frapuccinos! Well, leaving Starbucks' aside, the next thing I did was buying a one-day ticket for Yamanote-line. It cost 730 yen (6,74€), wow, that's actually quite a lot... Well ￥(yen) is quite weak at the moment together with euro and American dollar...

The first place I went was Ikebukuro (yeah, I admit. I was inspired by Durarara!.... :P AND IT WAS HOT AS HELL, like about +30 celsius degrees) So what was it like? It was... SUPERB!!! I am definitely going there again, hopefully with someone to share the fun. But basically, Ikebukuro has department stores, and shops generally, game arcades and SUNSHINE CITY!!! Sunshine 60 is part of Sunshine City and it has 60 floors. Well, as you might guess, the 60th floor is meant for people to go there and have a look at the city from above. The entrance fee was about 630(?) yen (about 5€), but it definitely was worth it!!

After Sunshine 60 I went to *tidididididii* Harajuku!! Yes, once again. I just love the place! So this time I was searching for clothes (again ;D) and I ended up buying two shirts (a shirt and a t-shirt), shoes (Converses, only in Japan -model) and a ring. I bought the t-shirt and the ring from Sex Pot Revenge. Sex Pot Revenge is a Japanese punk brand that has its roots in Harajuku.

Leaving Harajuku I went to Shibuya once again. And guess where...:D STARBUCKS, yeah, it was the second time during that day. I went to the Starbucks that's right next to the big crossing located near Shibuya station. I sat there for a while enjoying my Maccha Cream Frapuccino and reading Kuroshitsuji.

Well, kids, I guess that's everything. See you next time, byeeeeeeeeee!!!

P.S. Jasmine told me I have to say that I "love" her...

Whooops, and so a month went by...

It has been a month since I last made an update... ごめんねぇ。。。

So, what have I been doing during this last month? The thing is, I can't remember too well. Some major things are that I changed host-families. I moved from Takahashi's family to Takagi's family. I live in a whole different city inside Chiba. This city's called Kashiwa, and I think my school trip takes now two times as much of time as it took when I was still living in Ichikawa city. This family doesn't have any children living at home anymore and the parents are like 60- and 64-years old. In all honesty, I liked my previous host-family a lot more. Every day I joked with them and we talked a lot, but over here we don't really have anything to talk about, no joking or anything else. So yeah, I'm not too happy with the situation at the moment, but I'll see if this starts to change somehow. Oh, something kind of important popped up yesterday. I was asked if I would like to go to Kyuushu to live with the host-family I was supposed to go live in the first place. I said no, but I am still thinking about it, and call today or tomorrow and ask if I can have some time to think about it.

BUT NOW SOMETHING POSITIVE!! We had Golden week like 3 weeks ago!! We went to karaoke with classmates and I really sucked, so that's why I've been going to karaoke alone to do some practice so that I definitely can sing properly the next time. ;) But yeah, I have become a really big karaoke fan, and probs gonna go to karaoke tomorrow again. :D I went to karaoke two times last week. Or three times? Can't remember... :D I am already thinking about what I'm gonna do in Finland, 'cause Singstar can't even be compared to Japan's karaoke. However, my previous host-family's mum said that they actually sell those karaoke machines. So I thought, that maybe I should buy one in the end of my exchange year if it's not too expensive. ;D And atm you might be thinking something like how I can afford to karaoke like almost everyday, but it's REALLY CHEAP!! One hour costs about 180yen (which is about 1,5€) for a high school student and the price includes limitless amount of drinks (different kind of juices, tea and water).

I also went to Kichijouji and had lots of fun with Joonas, Julia and Silja. We went to this all-you-can-eat place and ate too much. XDD I came out as 3rd while Julia won the whole damn thing. ::D Well, it was kind of an unofficial battle. :P And of course we had to go to purikura, take boats and row around a pond, and the last thing we did was that we went to karaoke. However, Jonas had already left as he lives so far away. 8// OH, AND I ALSO ATE A GRASSHOPPER!! Well, I had two, but I dropped the first one when I was putting it into my mouth and it just felt wrong so I just accidentally dropped it.... :::D But then I just gathered the courage and put the second one in my mouth. And it actually tasted good!! Well, sugar, and soy. XDD It was really crunchy and I was afraid it would have some liquid inside, but gladly it didn't. :D


Well, what else? I don't really have anything else to tell, if I remember something I'll make another update! ;D EXCEPT!!! I have fallen in love with Starbucks' Maccha cream frapuccino, 'cause it just is pure HEAVEN!!! Honestly, if you ever end up in Japan, you really have to taste it!! But now I'm gonna start reading Kuroshitsuji (in Japanese ;D), and probably gonna go to Tokyo tomorrow to do some shopping, 'cause we have test week now and my next tests are on Friday, so I have free until then. <3 See yaaaa!!
