[Photos]: Bento #2+3 + Questions!~
Hidihoooo~ 
I bring you photos of 2 new bentos I made. Nothing special though~
Bento#2: 4 differently shaped Onigiri with sesame and fishmusclethingie filling <3, boiled egg, Japanese rice-snacks
I love my onigiri molds <3333 (some people might remember how much I sucked at making the triangular shape! ^^; .....)
Bento#3: Rice with Japanese omelette (ripped apart into small pieces) + sweet tofu bags (usually used for inarizushi, but they fell apart so I did this to them XD), makizushi, star-shaped onigiri with furikake + star-shaped cheese on it, cocktail tomatos with heart&star-shaped cheese ^^;;; ......
Not bento-related, but this was a Japanese noodle-salad I made (with soumen, canned tuna, mayo, cucumber and onions ^^ It was yummie! <3)
And I have some questions, especially to all of the Germans on my f-list, but also to people living in Europe (amvn might be able to help me here as well ^^;;;; ..):
I think I want to order some bento-related things. Now DON´T STOP READING if you´re not interested in bento, please! XDDD .. Especially all the Germans on my f-list!!! *puppy eyes*
The thing is: The last time I ordered stuff from OUTSIDE of Germany (via ebay and the likes) was 7 years (!!!!) ago and I can still remember clearly that I really had problems with the customs and had to pay TONS of moneyZ!
Ever since then I´m afraid of ordering stuff @ ebay and the likes outside of Germany.
So my question is for all Germans (& other EU people, cuz I guess it´s all the same?!): What EXACTLY are the rules? Stuff for how much money am I allowed to order without having to pay s.th. to the customs? Do ALL packages automatically land @ the customs or only the packages from USA??? I just want to avoid trouble and save money, so I´m really grateful for tips of any kind (and yes I´m a dork when it comes to these things ^^;;; ............... *sigh* *feels like an obaaaa-chan who does not know anything about the internets XDDDDD)
Is it better to order s.th. from a "private person" or an actual shop? I know that the customs allows 45€ from private to private ....
Also: (and this can now be ignored by people who are not interested in bento stuff): Although I´ve already checked out various FAQs, I still don´t know where I should buy my stuff. Any personal recs?
I think I´ll try out JBOX. I still am a bit afraid of ebay, although I have an account ever since errr ... it existed, I guess? XD .... And as far as I know you usually need a PayPal account, cuz most of them only accept this kind of payment, right???
Nya~ am thankful for tips! ^-^/
Bye~cha!~♪
