It's only 24 days left until I go back to Japan!!!! With my little sister this time. It's going to be so great to get to show her everything I love so much, and just show her around to all the "tourist"-spots. And I also read on the sakura-forecast on Japan-Guide.com that hanami-season will start on March 24 and the time for the best viewing will

I have not been to that museum, but the National Museum at Ueno Park has some of the most beautiful objects, and Ueno has spectacular cherry blossoms.

I would highly recommend Hama Rikyu Park, between the harbor and Shiodome [spectacular contrast with the skyscrapers], not far from the Ginza, and the beautiful Rikugien, near Kamagome station.

You can take a boat from Asakusa on the Sumida river to Hama Rikyu, it is a pleasant ride. Hama Rikyu was a hunting lodge for the Togugawa shoguns, then was made into a park. You can see cormorants fishing there because the water in the ponds is salty.

I've been to the National Museum too! And I really like the whole area around Ueno Park and around the zoo there! ^^ So I really can't wait to see the sakuras in Ueno!! ^^

OMG! So close now~ *____* And yey for going to Osaka to see Tsubasa. It'll be great! :D
And yeeey for being there during hanami!! I envy you so so so much right now!! XDDD

[luin_lote]

Yes, it really is soo close! *_* And I am so happy I decided to go to Osaka in the end. now my sister will get to eat those yummy Takoyakis she's been talking about wanting to eat. XD Det är verkligen, på riktigt, ett av hennes två önskemål; att få äta "såna där bollar som alla i alla drama-serier gör!" Hennes andra önskan är att köpa skor som ingen annan här har. XD

I am SOOOO yey about finally beeing there for hanami!!

I read on your LJ that you have plans about staying there for long in a few years! Tell me more?? :3

[therese_chan]

haha. Of all the things you can eat in Japan! XDDD But the shoes-thing I understand! ♥ I want to go there and buy shoes too~ *___*

And OMG sakura! ♥ We'll have to go to hanami together one day!

Well yeah, I dont really know yet, but I'm taking some distance japanese classes this fall and I'll keep on taking them as much as what I'm doing allows me, and then, IDK, maybe go there to study for a year and trying to look for work or something. I haven't gotten anything figured out as for yet. But yeah, I want to live there again. Maybe in Osaka! I'd like to stay in Kansai for a while! *____*

[luin_lote]

LOL, I know. XD I'm gonna have ger taste a little bit of everything, though! XD And we'll DEFINITELY go to our Okonomiyaki-place in Matsudo! ♥♥♥ I want to go to Matsudo either way; I reaaaally want to go and say "hi!!!♥" to Mister, so I hope he's still there!! ^__^V

I hope your plans will come true! ^^ And I wantt o take some Japanese courses too; I really feel like I'm forgetting everything I learned while over there!! Fail! :O

Of course you have to stay in Kansai for a while!! ^_^

I'd be excited if I was going too! I'd love to be in Japan during the cherry blossom season - hopefully you'll be able to take lots of pretty pics and post some of them here. ^_^

[luin_lote]

I am sooo excited!! *_* And I'm sure I'll take about a gazillion pictures. XDD And a friend of mine also promised to help me with my new system-camera so I'll know all the important things there is to know to take decent photos! ^^ And I'll make sure to post some of them here. :333

I'd recommend taking the shinkansen instead of the night bus... Sometimes the price difference is only 2000 yen or something, so if you'll have to book a hotel too you'll even save money by taking the shinkansen - and it'll be a thousand times more comfortable and fast.

Yay for seeing Tsubasa, even if it's in Chanel! XD

[luin_lote]

I was actually thinking of taking the shinkansen at first, but then I decided on the bus anyway. I quite like taking the bus; I think I don't mind it since I pretty much can sleep anywhere and then I can spend the whole way sleeping instead... which is quite nice. Sleep! ♥ And since I have to pay both bus-tickets and chanel-tickets for my sister too, every yen saved is good!

I am so happy to see him again; it feels like it was a lifetime ago! And who know; he might even surprise me with his acting! Maybe he's improved!?! I do wish, though, that it'd be WWTP or solo-con (OR UNIT-CON!!!!!!!!!!) instead! But I'm sure Chanel will be interesting too! XDDD

[curiosa_cabinet]

Okay okay! :)) I just figured it would be cheaper since the ride would only take a couple of hours and you wouldn't have to pay for a hotel. I just have all kinds of hatred for those buses, LOL, because I'm really bad at sleeping, so I have to stay up all night in the night bus and then the next day is a bit ruined. XD Anyway awww, you are so nice to your sister! <3

Yes, let's hope his acting has improved. I wouldn't bet on it, though. :D But bad!actor Tsubasa is really cute, so... XD
