Tokyo is the best :D
A bit too crowded though... x')
I got to see an amazing view from an observatory tower thingy :D It was soo cool!!! There were too many clowds around Fujisan which was a shame..
I also got to check out Harajuku, Shinjuku and Shibuya and went to a Temple and wrote a wish and everything!! Went to the Skytree but coz there were so many people, instead of going up we checked out the shops which in itself was AWESOME!!! :D
I'm too lazy for any more details so if you're curious just ask me in private :p
Jaa ne~!! *Luffy imitation*
(I've been watching One Piece lately!! Luffy sure is epic X'D)
A blog about an adventure in Japan and the little things in life that can sometimes make such a difference.

Festivals
I just realized I haven't written anything about the summer festivals here!!
And I've already been to like... 4? One was a little town festival where everyone was very friendly and at the end there was a lotto..bingo? Dunno xD So anyway you could win lots of random stuff, not only cool stuff like BBQ sets and bikes :P
I also went to the 2nd and 3rd (I think?) most popular fireworks festivals in the area :D (Or was it the whole of Japan..? I doubt it ._.) So yeh, Toyota and Okazaki :D It was AMAZING!!! I've never seen such amazing fireworks O.o I mean you normally get a few different types and it'll last maybe 15 mins or something but these fireworks were all different types and characters and symbols and it lasted for atleast an hour!! They also had the olympics symbol at Toyota ;D
The place was PACKED! Especially the train stations!! O.o
I wore my yukata (which my host mum bought for me ^_^) to them of course :D
The Toyota one I went with my family and invited 2 friends and the Okazaki one, I went with a friend :3
The day after the Okazaki one I went to Anjo for the Tanabata festival! There were loads of decorations everywhere!!! All traffic was stopped on those streets too~ On both sides were stalls and stalls and stalls etc... Quite a lot of it was food but there were also games to play, darts and shooting and catching fish and such, and also just stores with STUFF. xD
It was really fun looking at everything and then we stopped for kakigori (crushed ice with toppings~) I put condensed milk on mine... YUM! Definitely gonna try that again sometime!!
Wow I'm writing a lot today!! ^-^
So yes that's the summary I guess..? I've been lazing around these past few days.. and I think the day after tomorrow I'm going to an Onsen with my little bro and grandparents? Yay! o/
And on Saturday pool~ Then go to a friend's house for the night and on Sunday something about fish.. not fishing.. but catching fish with your hands? Dunno :P Maybe I'll write all about that adventure next week if I have the time..
I don't write in this blog very regularly do I :P kekeke
I need to put pics up too... .__. Too much to do >< I also finally started doing my homework today! Can't believe I thought I could just leave it to the last minute... :O We have to go to school sometime during the hols to give it to the teacher.. in 2 weeks I think :S Oh dear dear dear!
And I haven't done any kumon for atleast a month! :OOOO No no no no no!
I wonder if I'll ever be able to motivate myself to continue reading Hansel and Gretel in Japanese ^^'
Oh yeh, speaking of reading.. I also have to read Harry Potter in Japanese and then write a review.. in Japanese ;___; MURI!
I'll stop rambling now ^-^ Maybe I should put pics up now? C:
Bai bai~ :3 Mata ne!

Olympics 2012
Got up at 5 in the morning to watch the Olympics 2012 Opening!! :D All 4 of us were lazing around watching it for 4 hours lol :D
It was... EPIC! ^_______^
Shame it wasn't really the Queen jumping off that helicopter.. would've been awesome.
I also bought some manga supplies which turned out to be rather expensive .__. ink and a "fountain pen" :) It's nice to draw with though!
And later we went to a dance festival!! Oiden odori :D It was coool!! Everyone was dressed up in costumes and stuff and they all danced to the same song at the same time!
And I'm too lazy to write anything else :P
Baibai~

Nagano
On Saturday the 15th I went to Nagano with my host mum, brother and granma to visit the host great aunt until the 16th and we drove up to the top of a mountain and the view was beauutiful!!
We did a mini hike lol like 20 mins and then went to a curry buffet!!
In the evening we went to an 'onsen' ...not sure if it is?
Maybe just a normal public bath? And my little host bro didn't want to be by himself so he came to the girls side with us!! xD
I surprised myself by being completely at ease walking around and playing with him even though I was naked lol.....!!
Must be my inexistant japanese blood that runs through my veins ;D
AND THEN!!! Dan dan daaaan!! We went to the woods and went to a really dark area and there were loads of FIREFLIES!!! <3 ___ <3 So cute!!! I held about 4 of them in my hands at once!!
We also had amazing homemade meals and an enormous watermelon!! *Q* Tasted amazing.... It's really cool up there so I had an afternoon nap and slept really well at night too ^-^ I read 2 books and we played UNO and chatted a lot!!! Sure had some good laughs xD
Then on the way back home in the car we played shiritori for 2 hours... O_o Exhausting!! So hard trying to think up Japanese words!!! >< But it was good fun! :D
