Our life in Tokyo (part 1)

Hello there cuddly puffs!

Right now I'm sitting in school, and I thought I'd take some time and blog a little. I have plans to do a haul and show you guys all the stuff I got in Japan, I just need to get it organized.. I have a lot of beauty products and clothes to show. ^^
Sadly fall is approaching fast here, so most of the clothes I got don't fit the weather too good.

I still have a lot of pictures you guys haven't seen, and there is so much more to be told about the trip, so I think I'll do that now.

In the other post I wrote about the first day when we arrived, if you haven't read it, read it here.

A picture I took when we boarded our plane from Heathrow

Inside the plane~ What really annoyed me during the flight was the fact that they had to pause the entertainment every single time they had to say something... And if you were wearing headphones you could risk going deaf. 

The first days were super humid and warm since we hadn't gotten used to the heat yet. Fans were super holy and I think I have like seven or eight fans with me home. Every morning we had to wake up at 6 or earlier to get ready, and then there was breakfast at 6:50. We would leave the house, everyone, in their car at ten past seven. They drove us all to the train station where we took the local train to our school. The whole family would leave the house at the same time, and we managed to be kinda late often which caused all the other to be late... We felt really bad about that, and tried our best to hurry it up in the morning.

I can't find any of the pictures from breakfast I took... So the dinner will have to do^^

We would arrive at school an hour or more before we start, so almost every morning we'd grab a ice coffee or something, and sometime stop by the konbini store to get something to eat, drink or read. Slowly all the other host family students would arrive, followed by the campus students joining us. We had two or three hours of school every day, followed by an activity with the teachers where we'd go see the town.

My first purchase at the konbini~ 
When we finished our activity or trip with the teachers and leaders, we could go to places on our own, as long as we were two or more. I have spent many afternoons and early nights in Shibuya and Harajuku. They have so much awesome stuff, and I felt like my fashion inspiration burst into high mode. So many ideas! So many fashionable people! I think I might make an own post about the shopping experience later.~

From our trip to Asakusa^^  soo pretty~

My favorite place, Shibuya, especially 109 <3 <3
I will try and write more about it later, because I think I need to do some school work now..
Bye Bye~

We have arrived! :D

Hello everyone! 

We have arrived safely in Tokyo, and are now staying with our host family. The weather here is intense hot, hot and more hot, but it's survivable so far. The flight here was looong, and we both had a bit of a cold... But mine is gone now. 

Actually today it was the coldest day so far, with 26 degrees and rain. The rain was warm, but it was so uncomfortable to walk around in stores when we were wet, plus sitting on the train for 2 hours is not to recomend when you have been attacked by rain.. 
But anyway the trip has been aweaome so far! 
After 2 days here I have already figured out the train system, and can get pretty much anywhere now. We have gone to Shinjuku station, which is the worlds largest and bussiest station, just so you know, and it is quite easy to find your way home as long as you know the stations names. So I am quite proud!

Today we had our first language class, and I've ended up in the second lowest class, basicly because I don't know any hiragaba, or katakana and deffinetly not any kanji... But I'm fine in the class I am. ^^
Silje ended up in the class over me, because she knows more signs than I do. Her class is kinda difficult, but I'm sure she'll be fine! So now I must work hard, so she doesn't get too far ahead of me. 

After classes we went to..... SHIBUYA!! 
That was so awesome!! Actually we split up because some of the students wanted to go to Meiji shrine, and the rest of us wanted to go to Shibuya so we got to choose. ^^ Silje and a friend of us went to Meiji shrine, while me and some friends went to the most awesome place to shop; Shibuya. 
I loved it there. Have aleady bought a dress, 2 tops, a kawaii yukata, and other stuff. I am soooo going back! Many times! ^.^ since we only got to cover about 3 of the 8 floors.. 

After Shinuya, we went for a little trip to Akihabara. At that point it was raining heavily, but we did go to a gaming arcade. Sadly I didn't win anything.. But it was still fun.^.^

This is one of the few pictures I have on my phone. Most of them are in my camera..

We stayed there until like between 6:30 and 7:00, so I got home about an hour or something ago. It would have gone fatser, but I was showing the Italian students their way home. I had to take a local train instead of the express I usualy take, but it was fine. I made it home, and I got to visit all the 25 different stations on the local line again. I also have to switch to another line, and then take the monorail the rest of the way. At the end I only had like a few minutes of walking. 

Later, when I get an adapter that will accept my computers cord, I'll be able to give you more pictures.~ So until then I'll have to use my phone..-.- gomenasai. 

Now I need to get some sleep because tomorrow we're going to the Tokyo sky tree. ^^ 
Bye bye~
