Day 68: Sushi date with Anika + more tests

Hello!

So today I only had the first period 08:50-10:20, which was Global Mindset. We were many in the class, maybe 20 students. The teacher was very nice and the course seems very interesting. Especially the homework seems interesting. We have to write two entries a week, in a journal. One is "inside-out" and one "outside-in", which means one is going to be a personal mind map and the other is experiences in the everyday life. So today was an introduction and we got to know the classmates a little better. I think this is going to be a good class for discussions! I already did my homework after class, so that's done at least :)

I want to join a club, but haven't decided yet. The weather is so bad so for now I haven't been thinking too much about it. Maybe some of this clubs will be cool?

 I had a lunch date with Anika at 12:00 :) We went for sushi in Hashimoto. 

 My beloved ebisushi!

I'm so graceful!

Tako!

 Anika and I:

 So much sushi for lunch!

After the sushi I kept Anika company while she was looking for a birthday present for a friend :) So we went to a couple of malls and looked around. After that Anika went back to TMU for classes while I went home. I took the train first, then switching over to bus. But the bus stop had moved and I didn't figure out where according to the sign. So I asked a japanese lady and she explained, but she seems unsure if she could explain good enougn so she followed me there instead! She was so nice! Because of her I managed to catch my bus :) When I got home I worked out and studied for my test tomorrow. 

Tomorrow Jimmy is coming to visit after Uni  :D 

じゃ、またね！

Day 65:Got my letter from TIB + studying for test

Hello!

So today I have been studying for my test which is on Monday. It's only vocabulary, but it's kind of boring and my memory sucks... So yeah, not going too good with that. So while trying to learn all the words, Steffi calls me and tells me my letter from the Tokyo Immigration Bureau came in the mail! Yay! This was the LAST day to receive my letter, so I am very happy for that! I'm thinking of going after class on monday, even though it may be packed there (..again!). So I hope I only need to pick up my residents card and not run into any more trouble. Even if I have to wait I can do some homework or prepare for other classes. 

So Jimmy and I went to Omori to pick up my letter, and I talked a little with Steffi. She really is too cute <3 :) I'm going back next weekend to hang out and party. It's a good timing because Jimmy is going to use the weekend for the Ludum Dare. Ludum Dare is where you make a game in 48 hours with a specific theme released on the starting point. So after picking up my letter we ate sushi for dinner!!!

 This is onion and potatosalad-sushi. It tasted like, potatosalad...yeah...it's a thing...

 We tried some more "expensive" sushi, and it was good!

Then it was time for dessert!! It was delish~~ 

Jimmy managed to overeat, so on our way back to Itabashi, had to take a break at the Shinagawa station. We stopped at a cafe and rested. I ordered of course a hot chocolate~

While resting we worked on memorizing Japanese words~ Then we went back home and watched Supernatural! Only 5 episodes till Season 3 final! 

Tomorrow I'm going on a BBQ-party with Hiro and after that I'm going to the welcome party at my house. So it's going to be a long day. I hope I'll have some time to memorize the rest of the Japanese words! I'll have enough time to do it on the trains I hope, hehe :)

じゃ、またね！

Day 54 and 55: Shinjuku Gyoen, CannonBall and Yakiniku

Hello!

Tuesday 31th of March

So today I was in Shinjuku Gyoen with Jimmy to see the Sakura trees in bloom (..again, I know, but they're beautiful!!!)

It's a short walk from Shinjuku Station, and there were many people outside. And it's not only because of Hanami, but because the weather is amazing! It's 23C degrees and cloudless. 

 So the park is open from 09:00 to 16:30 and it costs 200 yen. It was many different lines to buy tickets, and even if it's not organized, nobody cheated. They get back in line and waits, nobody pushes or make a mess. One of the many things I love about Japan and Japanese people.   

 An old Japanese man asked if we wanted him to take a picture for us. He was super nice! And while we were posing for OUR picture a random old man also took pictures of us with his own camera, hah!! We're such models~

 Later we found a spot to relax. Sometimes it got quite windy! But it was nice because it was so warm!

 It was so nice outside we almost fell asleep! 

 We also saw a photo shoot with two super cute and beautiful girls in kimono

 Later I, Steffi and Seiya went to Genki Sushi, to well...eat sushi! 

Later we met up with Ai! And we went to CannonBall together :D We played 1 hour of darts and did karaoke for 1 hour.

After this Seiya, Steffi and I took purikura! 

Wednesday 1th of April

So today I've been tired the whole day! I don't know why... But I did some important stuff today. First I send a package at the post office to my friend Nina in Norway. This time I was prepared, so everything went smooth!!! The only thing that's weird is that I cost the same to send a small package of 1 kg as to send a bigger package that's over 2 kg... But I was happy everything went fine, and I hope Nine will like what I send :) Then Jimmy and I went to eat sushi

 After eating we went to my place to clean my whole room. I'm moving out tomorrow, so everything must be done before 10:00 tomorrow. I have to pack all my stuff, clean the floor, dust, etc. and remove all my things in the kitchen. That took a long time, but when we finished we went out to eat. Today we went for yakiniku. Yakiniku means grilled meat, and at this restaurant you grill your own  meat and vegetables. We had all you can eat!

 I'm going to bed now, hoping to fall asleep soon, because I have to get up early so everything is ready by 10:00. Then I have to get to Seisaki Sakuragaoka Station to move in to my new place. Lucky me, because I have Jimmy to help me with my luggage!!!!
