The Ultimate Japan Rant - What happened these last 5 weeks #2
So yesterday I stopped on my last day in Tokyo.
On 7 July I moved to Nozawa-onsen, Nagano to my Host Family's home. The first day I got there it was the final day of Bunkasai and I had tons of fun even though I didn't know anyone and everything was still pretty foreign and weird to me. Even though, everything was pretty awesome and the school's environment was amazing. As many of you must have heard about being a foreigner in a Japanese school.. yeah you are pretty much the center of attention. People stare, wave, yell at you pretty names, everything on their reach to get them looking at them or something. The first boy I met on that day spent the entire conversation looking at the floor and nodding which made me all fluff inside XD But the "cool boys" as I like to call them... they... well they only make cool poses and do not talk... at least not to me XD
Shoko (my host sister), Yoko (the noisy one) and Misaki (who came with us everyday in the train and was my soulmate in karaoke, she loved karaoke as much as I xD)
The English teacher, Sayaka (who loves KAT-TUN and is insane about Jin), Sachiko (who is the smallest and cutest thing ;_;) and Humi (who sings Aiko amazingly well)
Nozawa-onsen
So this is my town. It is a 1 away from the main city - Nagano and it is an onsen area. There are onsen houses everywhere and my host family's house was a Ryokai actually XD
Nagano was the host city for the 1998 Winter Olympic Games and it is very known for the ski resorts.
Not to mention the fact that it is pretty as hell.
Home
My room (XDDD ... yeah I am that random)
The room I slept in was absolutely Japanese style, I cannot remember how many tatami mats it was.......
The futon was great the only thing I didn't find that good after 2 weeks was the rice filled pillow... it hurts after a while and you cannot hug it.
The doors... I managed to take one out of its place I don't know how and I panicked but I kind of put it in its place again and it was not that difficult... but I panicked LOOOOOOOL
seifuku.
Random everyday.
Oh... Hana Yori Dango movie... It was so awesome! I loved it <3 <3 BUT IN MY MOVIE THEATER THEY DIDN'T SELL THE PLANET THINGY AND OLLA (from Sweden) BOUGHT THE PLANET THING MAKINO WEARS... WHY JENNIFER WHY???? ;____; I was sure they were going to sell it BUT THEY DIDN'T ON MY MOVIE THEATER D: I was so crushed when I saw the pendent on Olla's cellphone D: ANYWAY Matsujun... you rock... in a HD screen... you rock even harder.
Just because I wanted to remember the fact I watched it live. I laughed so hard in the Sendai Specials I am sure I woke up everyone in the house. :O
Elementary School. The kids were so amazingly sweet ;___; The boys kept talking about soccer and about how they wanted to meet Cristiano Ronaldo all the time and Akane (the girl who is beside me) and Kagura (the girl who is next to Akane) gave me a necklace they had made ;___; <3 When we went away they kept yelling at me not to forget them and to come and visit them again. I WANT TO D:
why is my bag in the way....
Yuppi (who is crazy about Tegomassu) and Nao (who is crazy about Sakurai Sho) XD
Sayaka's desk. I just had to take a picture. XD
Tennis courts. On the school. I was amazed.
Tennis club! <3
Gondola ride!
Because Gondolas in Japan are actually rope ways...................................... Why? LOL. Gondolas in Europe are boats, Japan. If you ever knew how much trouble my host sister went through to explain to me what are Gondolas in Japan XD
Biasness strikes back....
Actually, I was walking back and I bumped this.... Then I turned around and KAME. After that I laughed a lot and people in the supermarket stared at me thinking there was something wrong with my brain. Well... there is, sorry :O I cannot avoid it. But the gums are really good.
Zenkoji Temple
There was this thing inside the temple where everything is completely dark and the only thing you can hear is the noise of the key to paradise. You walk this huge corridor without being able to see a thing and your aim is to touch the key of the Paradise. If you touch the key you are going to be able that year.... Well I touched it but it was damn scary I tell you. XD
Karaoke (a.k.a my favourite place in entire Japan)
I went so many times to karaoke but I only have.. 2 or 3 pictures LOL The thing is.. I went completely crazy inside and forgot everything about taking pictures to remember and stuff like that... I just love Karaoke. You can drink, you can eat, you can sing. That's heaven.
God but the videos... XDDD ROTFL They are so random and WTF? They hardly have anything to do with the song... XD
Yoko, Humi, Saori and Kumicho
I just found funny the fact I lived between Matsumoto and Ueda XD
I am tired again. Yesterday I am going to finish this! XD
OH! I haven't mentioned this! Has anyone in LJ leaked the OHNO adventure? OMG!!!! When my classmates showed me the magazine!!! Something about marijuana.... and the pictures... he was amused. And they were naked. GOD I love JE. I would never imagine Ohno was the one from Arashi who was actually going crazy though.
