Why, hello LJ. I haven't posted here in more than a month.
To be honest, I don't really have anything to post about. I know I have that GLAY FC live and LiB Cafe to write about, but beside those, nothing.
But I am going to update on concerts and places I'll be going to in the next few months.
1. Today, I was supposed to attend GLAY and B'z lives at the Budokan, but I found out last week that I wouldn't be able to make it. =_= I had to get rid of my concert ticket on mixi and cancel my flight. I was able to exchange the concert ticket for an FC ticket to B'z final at Tokyo Dome on 12/25!! So, it wasn't really a loss. Also, I'll be attending the concert with the girl that exchanged the ticket with me.
2. Will be seeing The GazettE and THE BAWDIES in late October. It's been FOREVER since I last saw The GazettE live! I so cannot wait to see them again in Fukuoka. HEAD-BANGING TIME!!! I'll be seeing THE BAWDIES again at their tour final @ the Budoukan at the end of November!
3. I was able to get tickets to see Amuro Namie in Fukuoka on 11/12 & 11/13!!!!!! I'll finally be able to see this gorgeous woman that I have adored since my high school years perform live!!
4. Will be seeing B'z twice in December: on Dec. 4 in Fukuoka and Dec. 25 in Tokyo!! December cannot be here soon enough!
5. I have been hit with the travel bug. I really want to travel outside of Japan. I was initially thinking about spending winter vacay in Sydney, but the travel agent I called gave me a price on the cheapest flight available that really wasn't so cheap. I'm still keen on Sydney and will plan a trip there next winter... I'll book plane tickets well in advance.
Anyway, I wasn't in the mood of visiting an Asian country, so I asked the agent on how much a flight to Amsterdam would be... and it wasn't too bad! So I booked it! I will be spending 11 days in the Benelux area of Europe! I'll be in Amsterdam for about a week (I will probably make day trips to neighboring cities like Rotterdam and Utrecht) and I'll spend 4 days in Belgium (two days in Brussels and another two days in Ghent.) Words cannot express how much I am looking forward to this trip!! I'm going solo, which I'm not worried about at all. I have traveled around Japan solo about 80% of the time and I've felt safe and enjoyed my trips. I've met many interesting people while traveling solo here.
I plan on staying in only hostels and bed & breakfast joints. I find staying at these places to be the easiest way to meet people. I'm booking everything right now... I just need to book a place in Ghent. I want to treat myself, so I'm looking for a slightly more established B&B place. Then the fun of writing up an itinerary begins! XD
I have a high school friend who lives in Germany, but she goes to school in Maastricht, Netherlands. I hope I'll be able to meet-up with her. I also have an American blog friend who lives in Brussels...
Well, that's all from me. Can't wait for the upcoming months to get here!!!!
