Yes, after over an year, I'm back and kicking ( Read more... )

Okay, right now I'm supposed to be writing an essay about the Imperial Palace in Kyoto for tomorrow's Culture class but like I really care...

Meh.

Anyway. Yesterday I had my last day of winter holiday and we ended up going to the cinema. It was also a Ladies' Day so it was only 1000 yens for me. With student card it's usually 1500.

I opted for the non ( Read more... )

Forgetting your LJ password is an excellent indicator for updating said LJ...

But aside that, happy New Year to everybody! I started mine good 7 hours before most of my friends and I'm very relieved that I didn't get any well wishes 7 am like I half feared... Especially when I went to bed 6 am n_n' I might have had tried some long-distance killing ( Read more... )

According to Thievie I should ''be shamed. Shaaaamed!' This was after I was moaning about not making any posts after the 6th. Almost an month without uttering a word. So sad....

But fear not! I shall tell you things you didn't even know to be excisting tomorrow. And quite possibly on Monday and Thuesday, too. We've a another random holiday here. ( Read more... )

I almost had a chance to see some handsome young firefighters half an hour ago. But alas, they don't have the automatic firealarm thingy here so all we (me and some Korean girls) got was smoke, watery eyes and headache from flashing exit signs... Just my luck.

I've been in Japan for two weeks and by now I own 62 mangas. Now they are piled in a pretty hazardous fashion on my table. So if we get an earthquick now, they will crumble... (I'll attach a photo later XD)

I've found my heaven in a second-hand shop called Book-off. The one I visit is in Kokusaikaikan (10 min by bus, 35 on feet) and it's small ( Read more... )

The two things that are really getting on my nerves in Japan didn't have any part in my life in Finland. But for some reason, it's impossible to avoid them here. And it drives me nuts!

Like how evil is the evil mastermind who created a can of Fanta full of soda-jello? Drinking it is so annoying. Includes lot of whacking, slurping and cursing. (... I ( Read more... )

Oh this is just a quick post to tell people that I'm getting over the cultural shock.

According to one of the other exchange students there are 3 phases in moving to new country: 1) honeymoon when everythind is amazing and so wonderful, 2) the crash when every little thing is awful and you just want to go home and 3) the normalizing when you lower ( Read more... )

So... as you can see I'm alive enough to post. Just a bit sickly after eating many things I'm not supposet to but had no other choice. So now I'm skipping sushi-night because the mere idea of it makes me nauseous. Plus the jet lag hasn't worn off so I'm sleepy at 8pm. Don't ask what it tells about me when it's 2 pm in Finland...

But yeah, I managed ( Read more... )
