Week 13

Yosh! Finally back in Kobe after a couple weeks of travelling and a bunch of papers and exams just before that (combined with laziness in uploading photos and updating blog).

Mon 13 - Fri 17 Dec

So this week was the second last week of the Fall Semester, so had a bunch of quizzes for Japanese, speech presentation for Speaking class, a group presentation for Language and Culture, and a make up class for Society =___=

Had dinner with Kristin after Language and Culture (a ridiculous extended class that was originally planned to end at 8pm, but we got through all the presentations by about 7pm).

Then came the weekend! As well as the final days of Kristin's stay in Japan ='[


Sat 18 Dec ARIMA ONSEN


Went to on day trip to Arima Onsen with Frank Frank, Anin, Vicky, Kristin and Caitlin. Can't remember how long it took, but we changed trains at Shinkaichi station, to some other train that took a while going into the countryside. We visited 2 onsens, one was called Silver something and the other was called Gold-something (because the water was a murky 'gold' colour). First time ever experienced an onsen and boy I would totally go for it again any day. It was so relaxing, and didn't expect to feel as embarrassed about being naked in front of everyone else (prob cos everyone else was in the nude). And caught a bus back to Sannomiya in time for dinner with the host family (which we learnt was cheaper).


Sun 19 Dec MANA IN-STORE EVENT & GERMAN XMAS MARKET

Holy fjhefhweofhweifhew!!!!?!?!??! SAW MANA-SAMA IN REAL LIFE!!!! omfgfhfiwuhfwhe!!

It was in Shinsaibashi at the Zeal Link Store. Never been there before but discovered that that floor had a bunch of lolita clothing and vkei shit *two thumbs up*. Lots of hardcore goth lolis and egas (most wearing moi meme moite) and stood out like a sore thumb in my regular streetwear =S. Mana-sama was dressed as a man (which was kinda disappointing cos i was totally expecting him to wear some goth loli dress or something like the early moi dix mois days) promoting the latest release of Moi Dix Mois' album.

Tried on a goth loli outfit since i was surrounded by goth lolis.

Then went back to Umeda to meet up with Frank Frank and Jehki for the German xmas market at Umeda sky building. It was chou tanoshikatta =). Got tipsy from the hot german wine, 2 pints of beer (oh delicious erdinger), a german sausage (or two - gotta have a german sausage ;)) and a german xmas gingerbread cookie. Then went to Namcoland, took purikura and played some games before going home around midnight. whee~<3
