Day 86: Japanese rollercoaster: 80 meters 130 km/h

Hello!

As I was on my way out to meet Jimmy in Shinjuku I locked myself outside... I was going to check the mail and I left my bag inside. "Very smart, so genius, much funny". The nice lady wasn't in the front desk, but I was lucky enough to see her in the garden. So she opened the door for me so I could get my bag~ I tried to call people at the house, but nobody answered xD Either way, I got to the train station, but for some reason only the local trains were going. But since I'm an expert, I switched trains in Chofu to a semi-special express to Shinjuku. Then I finally arrived, and I met up with Jimmy not many minutes later. First we went to buy some adapters for his dad (that is coming to Japan soon). Then we went to Suidobashi. And this time I was set to try the awesome rollercoaster!

This is the video Jimmy took with his phone of the ride

Jimmy don't fancy rollercoaster so I took it alone, and it was awesome. It's called "Thunder Dolphin". My usual rollercoaster-buddy is my sweet ass-kicking big sister Marianne. We have a lot of experience with rollercoastes, and we are used to the slow painful ride up before the drop. You know, so you can reflect upon your poor life choices and regret what you're about to do. But this time! Oh boy, IT WENT FAST! FAST UPWARD! I didn't even have time to regret! And it didn't stop going, it just went up, and up, and up! I could see all of Tokyo! Balder in Liseberg (Sweden) is 36 meters, with a top speed of 90 km/h, this one is 80 METERS with a top speed of 130 km/h!!! Even so, I still enjoy Balder more because it tickles more in the stomach overall. But the first drop of the Thunder Dolphin was EPIC!

After the rollercoaster Jimmy bough tickets for a baseball match which he is going to see with his dad. Then we ate at TGI Friday:

After eating we went for a little shopping, before playing our favourite music game

We were supposed to study Japanese, but we ended up being out most of the day. When we came home we saw an episode of Supernatural, and after that I got very sick! I don't know what is was but luckly it went away after an hour or two...But yeah, not much Japanese today... 

Day 3２: Shopping in Suidobashi

Hello!

So today I followed Jimmy to school and hanged around Tokyo Dome until he was finished. I had planned to maybe take the train some places, but the weather was so bad that I crashed at a mall nearby.

 I really want to take this roller coaster!

 I goes over the mall, and even inside!

 Look! It goes through a "hole" in the building

Here are some pictures from the mall

 My super yummu snack!

 After school, Jimmy and I went to eat dinner:

I'm not feeling too good (again), so I'm keeping it short..

Tomorrow I'm maybe going to my university, but I'm not sure

じゃ、またね！

Day 22: Yokohama with Moemi and dinner with Steffi, Joel and Jimmy

Hello!

So today I was suuper tired. Mainly because I've been up to late, and not getting enought sleep... But I met with Moemi today, in Yokohama at 13:00. I'm happy I set an alarm, or else I would have slept way past the meeting time. Side note: I got an e-mail today about my acceptance to the Tokyo Metropolitan University:

I'm goin to the University at the start of March to pick up the "real" copy and I think I'm going to sign something. Either way, It's nice to go there at least once before starting there. The only downside is that it's 1 hour by train...

When I met Moemi we went to eat lunch, because I hadn't eaten yet, We ate pasta, and I chose Carbonara:

 Moemi chose a spicy roe pasta! And being super cute~

 BIRD!

 BRIDGE!

 PEOPLE!
(Sorry, I'm going to stop now...)

 We went down a famouse shopping street in Yokohama and to different malls!

 I tried taiyaki for the first time~ I had chocolate filling, because I don't like the traditional anko...

I bough a skirt, short, and a shirt. One of the employee was so excited about me and was very curious how Moemi had a friend like me (that I'm nordic, I guess). While I tried on some clothes Moemi and the employee had a lively conversation.  

 Just a random picture~

 After getting home from Yokohama, I had a skype conversation with one of the employee at the Borderless House. I have applied to a "host-family"-stay, and he asked me some querstions. I have always wanted to try to live with a host family! When I visited my, at the time fiancé, in 2013, I stayed at his host family's house. But it different to be a guest at the house and actually have them as "family". For international residents it's free of charge, so I really want to try! I applied to stay a week from 9th to 16th of March. I'm going to get an answer if a host family is available that periond, tomorrow. So I'm really looking forward to it! :D

I had to rush to Suidobashi to meet Steffi, Joel and Jimmy. We were meeting at 19, but they were 15 minutes late. Then we had to wait 40 minutes for David to come, but then he left because he was going to eat later? But... We met to eat dinner?...What? So yeah.... But, we found a restaurant called Watami, so we ate there.

Here is Steffi and Joel

 Here is me and Jimmy

 I forgot to take a picture of the food, haha! But there is the dessert:

 Jimmy was so nice, so I had some of his dessert too~

 Tomorrow I'm going to have my language exhange-program at 13:30, and then later visit Hiro at 18:00. Then I can finally give Aimi-chan (his baby) her present from Norway! :D

じゃ、またね！
