Keitai wo kaimashita~

Yesterday, we went shopping to AEOn shoppingcenter. ^^ I bought Nightmares newest CD "teh WORLD ruler" , a shoxx magazine with An Cafe stuffs... loots of beautiful pictures and stickers!! And oh yeah, it was only Miku and Kanon... xD
Pictures of the poster.




I kinda love the way Japanese magazines name their photoshoots... Dont you agree? xD I always knew that was the truth anyway. xD

And yeah, i bought ten more copics too. i own 20 now. Feels great! X3

And todaaa~y!
WE WENT TO BUY MY PHONE! (After doing the foreigner registration.. but thats not important.) Okay, in Saty I drooled over all the pink ones. It had to be a billingual though so there were fewer alternatives. But the result is really sweet!





Oh and that thing behind it. With the ribbon. Thats a hairband Maokochan made for me X3 But isnt the phone sweet? X3

So, my dewabangou is: +8180061671746 and my mail on the phone is: sandriz@ezweb.ne.jp

The day I found Heaven.

Well, Ill start with telling you whats been going on the last few days.
On Saturday, we went to Kobe, first to take Takashi to his YFU camp and then to Maokos chinese lesson. After that we went to Chinatown there. It was really interesting!
On sunday we went to Kobe again xD. Because then the parents were supposed to be there, and since there are other families with exchangestudents who have kids that are going I met a few people from the camp in Tokyo. So i was there with them for the whole day and we had really fun actually.. were just playing cards and taking it easy.. and vending of course.


This is me and Doris from Germany. we were roomates at the camp. She lives in osaka and her sister is going to America.

On the way back okaasan decided that she wanted cake - so we went to some small resuoran/ cafe thing and bought cake xD it was chou oishii~~

And then yesterday, I had a meeting with an exchangestudent from Australia whos here through her school that is a sister school to a school here. So, one of my okaasans friends, whom i had never met before, picked me up and took me to that girls, Olivias, house. its really close so well be able to meet whenever we want to. And we will meet x3 we had reaally fun! At first we just sat in her room but then we decided to go to midori and buy adapters xD and after that we went to Saty, a shopping center 5 min from my house. there she shopped pants and I a shirt and then we went to take PURIKURA X333333 So, we stepped into that extremely big completely pink boot and inserted the coins needed. Now that thing was just plain scary, but there were so many backgrounds to choose from! And after the pictures where taken (it took 6 different pics) we walked into the other art of the booth and started drwing on them. it was soo cool! 8D
So ive been like sticking those small, very clourful pictures EVERYWHERE xD

But then today, THE DAY I FOUND HEAVEN.
I went to midori (oh yeah, its a large electronics store) with maoko to change the DS adapter they had bought. Because it was one for DSlite and it had to b just DS. After that i had to take pictures for school ID, and while we were waiting for the pictures to get ready we walked around the shoppng mall where the photoshop was... and and and... just.. just by a coincidence I walked into a like.. paperstore.. i wanted to by a cute notebook for my purikuras... and some nice coloured pens to write with in it.. i took out a pen from the stand they were in and what do I see..?
COPIC CIAO!!!
and.. and.. the.. the price. Now people you wont believe me. 276¥!!! now please remember that 100¥ is around 0,6e... .. . You get what i mean heaven? I bought ten copics and good paper for 18e... everything together i mean. SO CHEAP! And there were mangapaper, good ink, SCREENTONES. everything. Just perfect. I fell in love with the store.

But now then. a few pictures again. I want to show you my room! X3



This is a picture of my room, take fron the doorway.



Here I sleep~ and mind the box of manga my okaasan dug forth for me~ X3



My laundrything and a few memories~~



My desk and shelf and stuff~~



the sign they had with them when they came to get me. maoko-chan drew it. It says "welcome sandra"



Some of the things ive bought... Look, its the candy from grave of the fireflies! the legendary fruitdrops! And the death note DVD box... and Gackt -Rebirth album and thats the purikura from yesterday there in the middle.



And so my nice, new, lovely, wonderful, darling, ... COPICS X3 <3

Tanoshikatta~~

WEE~

Well, first a few answers ;D
Anna: You always have to think such perverted thoughts, dont you? xD
Betsi: WOAH! Driving lesson! O__O; Somehow, Im happy Im not walking the streets of Borga xD Greet her back.
Sabina: ... ... when I read your comment... like... 5 minutes before me and okaasan had been discussing fish.. using the word "fishy" xD so I just started laughing like hell :P
Malin: weeh X3 sankyuu~ *hug*
Dora: ... Dora, dora, dora... Its the SEMES that are SUPPOSED to know how to cook so that they CAN TAKE CARE OF THEIR UKES :P *pokepoke* ..But its okay. I somehow have this feeling axel wouyld be better at cooking than vincent anyway xD

then; to the story of today~~

As I said, we webt to Universal Studios Japan yesterday. Now dear people, dont assume youve EVER been in a queue. xD Not in Finland at least.
Well, I had to wake up really early.. all of course all of us had too. And we left at 7.30 and reached the studios at 9.01 (It opened 9.. talk about timing xD) But first, to get in we had to queue for quite a while. I thought "wa.. lets hope the queues inside wont be this bad..." oh how I thought wrong xDD
We were there for totally 10 hours and we managed to go to 5 attractions xDD 2h/attraction that is. And as any normal amusementpark te attractions doesnt take more than a few minutes xD
But its not like queueing for 90 min is totally bad..。I mean.. there were some bishies queueing too xD And.. You know how a queue goes like.. in zigzag somehow, right? so you "meet" the same people like 20 times before you get to the front. So now of course I have to mention this one guy.. in th queue to the back to the future-ride... (which btw was AWESOME!) he was.. a little in front of me so we "met" everytime the queue turned. And... HE DAMN LOOKED AT ME EVERY TIME X3 ..yeah whatever xD

So, the attractions we visited are, shrek 4D movie.. you know moving chairs and that.. like the on in Lintsin~ ^^ , JAWS, now that was scary.. we were ACTUALLY REALLY out on a boat... and the fke shark came up from the water all the time.. and there were REAL FIRE.... and stuf.. O__O soo spoooky! Then, jurassic park. Also a boat... first we sa the dinos.. then we went in to unauthorized space and things started happening xD was really scary this one too! and then it all ended with us being attacked by a Trex and going down right beneath it straight into the water xDD. And back to the future, we sat in a car.. and somehow a movie was shown in front of us (i dunno how.. there was NO SCREEN O__O.. the walls were grey with YELLOW text all over.....) and the car shaked and turned and everything.. it really felt like we were flying in that car.. seriosuly! And last but not least was some terminator-show with very convincing explosions O.O; .

There was also a special Hello Kitty shop at the area.. with HKstuff you can ONLY GET FROM THERE. So i am now a proud owner of a special hello kity bag and keychain~~ ;D

Oh, and btw, i bought Kingdom Hearts Final Mix from the furuihon store~~ (oldbooks) and after like.. 2 weeks the KH2FinalMix will be released. ill buy that one too. I mean.. t ow happened to be so that my dear ototou owns a PS2.. But how will I ever get used to the fact that X is O and O is X? xD

Start of Springbreak

Today Spingbreak starts for my sister Maoko and Brother Takashi. Which means that Im not home alone 8D
Well, as I said, I went shopping on Monday. And I kinda bought a lot xD. But seriously! The one who said japan is a very expensive country must have been joking! In most cases its definetly cheaper than Finland! But I think its the food thats expensive.. But the clothes arent that expensive! And I bought 7 mangabooks for less than 5 euroes! And I have to mention the death note movie complete set~~ Which we later watched with the whole family ^^ That was fun!
Yesterday i had to take Maoko to her dancelesson since Okaasan was still at work. That was quite an experience but everyone was really nice! especially the danceteacher!
Oh, and Okaasans cooking is really great! I have to say Ive tried a lot of strange stuff these last days but Im getting used to it. And its actually quite good! Most of it... xD But i mean, we ate tempura yesterday.. which resulted in me eating fried squid in some really strange sauce. But it was good 8D BEPROUDOFME!! xD
Tomorrow well go to "universal studios" amusement park since its Takashis 16th birthday! Its like.. a normal amusementpark but everthing is moviethemed ^^
And yeah, I HAVE to tell u this! It was so cute X3 We watched TV on sunday evening... and okaasan flipped through bthe channels and then a movie turned up and she said "UWA! I LOVE this movie!" abd then she trned to me and said; "Theyre gay" smiling! x3 It was some movie called... priscilla.. quite strange one <.<; but anyway ^^ Now Ill be adding a few pictures from the camp. I have no pictures rom here yet but Ill be taking them soon and adding them here ^-^

Sunday evening~

Hey everyone~!
Finally a computer I can touch!
This wont be a long story because I have to go to bed... but anyway!
Well, on monday I arrived in Tokyo together with 8 other persons from Finland and 2 persons from estonia. We had a camp (with all the YFU students from every country, 87 in total) at the olympic memorial youth center in the enter of Tokyo. But we werent allowed to go out... u.u;
Well, we from Finland turned into a quite close groups and we created a new hobby. You know how japan is full of vending machines? we started exploring them. And soon we were known as "the Vending Group".
Well, anyway, we learned a lot of japanese there and went through rules and stuff... and yesterday they sent us out to our families.
I flew from Haneda airport in Tokyo to Itami airport in Osaka together with 11 other students. Our fanilies were waiting there and after that we drove home to sanda. It is a very cute little house!
Ive met a lot of people allready and everyone is extremely nice and interested!But tomorrow Ill be alone when they go to school and work, so Ill go checking out the local shopping center! Just five minutes walk from out house!
well then, OYASUMI!

Blogstart and 3 days left.

[insert drums here]

Tadaa~h

I got some advice about starting a blog instead of writing everything many times in thousands of letters. So here it is, ready and waiting for your eyes. Oh and btw, I'll write in English so everyone can read it... (Not that I'd write ANYTHING like this in Finnish anyway.. xD)

So, what we have left is 3 days. Three damn days. Today, I'm gonna have some friends over. Tomorrow, we'll probably go last minute shopping. And Saturday, we'll celebrate my littlesister's birthday so the whole familytree is gonna be there. Next is Sunday, THE day.
The plane leaves 17.20, But I have to be at the airport allready at 15.00, since that's when I'm gonna meet up with the rest of the YFU team.

I'll arrive in Narita Airport, Tokyo at ten o'clock in the morning the 12th of March. Some Japanese YFU-person will meet us and take us to the place of the camp we'll be at for 5 days. Or i think we'll be there 6 days, since the Swedes arrive one day later than us. So on Saturday the 17th of March I'll fly from Tokyo to Osaka and my hostfamily will meet me there. I'm looking forward to meeting them.

Well then, cya in the next post~
