Our first day in Tokyo~ ^3^

Hello!

We are back in Norway again!
It's really bitter sweet being home again, because Tokyo had become a second home for me. I felt like I belonged there. The only reason I wanted to go home was to meet my family and friends again, and because the money would eventually dry up if I stayed there any longer...

I know many of you really want to see the pictures from the trip, and I'm working on getting all my photos from the memory cards and into my computer. Also thought that I'll split up the picture posts into days/places to make it easier to follow. ^^
So today is gonna be from our first days there.

First I'll start from the day we landed at Narita airport. We were hit by a huge wall of heat, and I so regretted not bringing some shorts or any light clothes in my hand luggage. Believe me, wearing a black, long tights, a grey top and a military green jacket was not my smartest choice..

Tokyo next~

This!! <3 soo good
I don't know what it's called... It's some sort of soda with a super yummy ice cream/sorbet on the top.

These are the pictures we took from the bus that drove us to the school. It was a around 2 hours long bus ride, but we stopped to eat lunch. After coming to school we were shoved around a little and then taken to meet our host families. It was a little scary at first because we didn't know what our host family would be like, but luckily they were really nice and welcoming. We felt like part of the family really fast. The last two pictures are from Tama Center, which is around where our train station was, and you know what..? It was Hello Kitty town! We lived 10 minutes with the monorail from Hello Kitty land!! ^^
I really like it there. Then after shoving us around their town, we went to their house and got dinner. Our host mother makes really good food. OMG! I was always looking forward to dinner or breakfast. I really miss the food.

Until next time~ <3

What to pack, what to pack..? -.-"

Hello Hello~

Only 4 days left!! o0 OH MY GOD! It's really happening...

I've just started packing a little, or at least started to figure out what I'm gonna bring, but it's really hard... The main problem is that I'm really worried about not bringing enough or bringing too much clothes, since I'm not sure how much of the clothes in Japan will fit me... Or if we'll be able to shop enough clothes to last me while I'm there. Well, I guess I'll just have to wing it and hope I'm not packing too little. I wanna be able to bring lots of stuff home, and to do that I need space in my luggage that always seems to be filled to the brim every time I'm out travelling...-.-"

It looks like much, but it really isn't.. >< I promise -.-"

So far I've packed two tops, a pair of shorts, a skirt, a dress, my pair of flower wedgies, a light jacket and a tights. This should be enough to begin with, I hope. ^^



Sorry for such a short and boring post, but there is not much more to write today, since this is mostly what I've been doing...
Bye Bye~

Look of the day; Flowers^.^

Hello cutie pies!

Today I'll show you my look from a couple of days back. It was warm weather, and we were going to a
surprise visit at a friends place who is back home. I went for a flowery dress with flower shoes and socks. Was a all over flower girl that day.~

My makeup:

You wanna fight? x3

And my outfit; 

I love my American flag jacket! <3 

I wound up changing my shoes to something more casual, more specifically my flower wedgies. ^.^ Since they are a little more comfortable wearing a whole day.

A picture from our stairs that is full of flowers now~

It was really hot that day ~ 

So if you've survived all the pictures of me.. I will now tell you how exited I am! It's 6 days until we're leaving for Tokyo!! ^o^ And I'm super stressed because I don't know what to bring...! or how much? And Silje has already listed a lot of stuff in the past post for me to worry about so I'm not gonna repeat it...

Tomorrow we're meeting to make a small plan on what we want to do and what to see while we're there. I don't think we have enough time for everything we wanna do, but I can always hope. ^^
And as she said I will be bringing my camera, so we can try to make our diary, or least be able to take loooads of pictures for you guys.~

If any of you lovely readers have been or live in Tokyo and have some awesome stuff you think we should visit or do, please let us know! :D

Hope you enjoyed this post^^
Bye Bye~

Just one week until departure! \^.^/

Hello everyoone! Remember me?

Today it's just one week until Gulli and I take off to Tokyo! I'm soo excited! The whole trip has always been something "far into the future", so I got a little shock when I realized we're not talking about months or weeks anymore, but days... Now I have to think about packing, learning the rest of the Hiragana (Japanese signs), and go through my checklists. Do I have enough copies of my passport? How much clothes should I bring? (Considering the fact that I will be shopping a lot.) Come to think of it, what is the weight limit on luggage again...? Do I need to bring this much shampoo?
It's so typical of me. I always slack off and take things lightly until the last minute. No wonder I'm always late. Even though I'm talking about it now, I probably won't start packing until the night before...

A-N-Y-W-A-Y!  Our schedule for the trip is super full with super fun stuff!
I'm really hoping we can manage to make a dairy out of it. It would be more realistic to call it a "every third day-dairy" or something though, as I'm guessing we'll be pretty dead tired.
If we see the opportunity we could maybe make a vlog too, with Gulli's cute little camera that was sent in that crazy huge monsterpackage you saw in the last post.
Some of you have may seen our introduction video? It was pretty amateur-ish, but at least we learned some valuable lessons about video blogging. Such as:

1. Don't make a video if there's a party downstairs. 
2. Steer clear of noisy roads and camping cars.
3. If two people have to stand under an umbrella, use a big one.
4. If you don't have a big umbrella, at least stand still so that you don't hit the other person.
5. Avoid camera men that laugh at everything you say. 
6. Don't use almost full memory cards. 
7. If you're going to speak English, learn the difference between "dairy" and "diary". (Big fail from my side.)
8. Once you're at it, learn the difference between "trip" and "tour" as well. 

Well guys, I hope you'll stick with us through the learning process, so that we can make better stuff in the future!

I know this is super delayed, but I have some pictures from the 17th of May (Norway's national day), to those of you who wonder how a Northern Norwegian national costume looks like ^^
I guess it's okay to upload some patriotic photos before I leave, so I won't get all blinded by Japan's glory. Or something like that.

 
Talk to you later ~
