TUESDAY 2.4

I told you about me and Olivia going to takarazuka to meet those students and stuff, nee? Well the trainride went great and we had no problems. We met the students, teachers and other foreigners and had a great day. We visited the old temple in Takarazuka, an old merry-go-round and ONSEN! THAT was cool! (you know.. hot springs..)
At first we went to the temple.. Then we were the whole group but after that it was only me, olivia, a chinese woman, a teacher and SHUU-KUN X3 He was soo cute. One year younger than me though. But 2 cm taller xD!!


This is the WHOLE group at the temple.

And our group at the merry-go round. Isnt Shuu-kun cute? x3 We rode the merry-go-round. ^^ Its over 100 years old.

Olivia, Shuu-kun and me. Dont mind the stupid faces. xD We had problems with stopping ourselves from laughing like hell coz oomori-san (the teacher) kept on talking about "one flower in each hand"...

So... The same week but THURSDAY.
= Okaasans day off work.

Off to Takarazuka AGAIN xD. Well it IS only.. eto... 5 stations away.　I change trains there every day now. But this time to THE OSAMU TEZUKA MANGA MUSEUM.
So anyone remember who Osamu tezuka is...?

answer: Manga no Kamisama. = the god of manga. Hes the one who... How should i say it... He is extremely important in manga history. And Takarazuka is his hometown. He died in 1989 btw.
Well Im sure you know Astroboy... Buddha... Phoenix... METROPOLIS. And JUNGLE TAITEN. The original version of Lion King actually. About a small lion named "Kimba".
So yeah, ive seen his hat, his pens, his original sketches. Stuff like that. Quite cool actually.
Me and maokochan on the way to the museum.

Me and maoko outside the museum. In front of the Hi no Tori statue (Phoenix)

And then. the 6.4 I visited school.. Not much to say. Its me and a girl from Chile named maria... lets just jump to the whole subject.. SCHOOL.

SCHOOL.
Started on the 10.4 TUESDAY.
So yeah, 3 girls met me and maria at the station and walked to school... We had chapel and was presented in front of the whole school. Both Jr High and Sr High... And then picturetaking and bye-bye. Then maichan, Rinachan and Shouchan took me out for karaoke. I sang a few utada hikaru... Like Hikari and Flavour of Life... And then Gackt of course. x3
So the schooldays been going great. im hanging out with Maichan, Rinachan and Shouchan. I have japanese and kanji lessons with maria. Bu otherwise we are in different classes. Im in S2A and shes in S2B.
My schoolway is QUITE long. I leave home at 7, take the bus to shinsandastation. from there a JR train to Takarazuka. In Takarazuka i change to a Hankyu train that goes towards Nishinomiyakitaguchi and step off at Mondoyakujin.

Then. THIS WEEKEND.

I slept and Yumikosans... Okaasans friend, because okaasan went to visit some sick relative somewhere. And yesterday we went shopping to Kobe... And we.. we saw this really cute girl in completely white Loliclothes... and I sqealed and Yumikosan asked her "where the shops are". I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THERE ARE SHOPS IN KOBE!
Well yeah. There we went and Im now a proud owner of a Metamorphose skirt and cutsew. That place was a real paradise. There was a Baby, the stars shine bright shop, a metamorphose, an innocent World, Kerashop, BPN, BOZ... Everything. I loved it.

But a picture of my clothes later... I dont have time now. But theyre really cute!

A full, but very funny weekend.

Im gonna start from Friday.
On Friday evening we went bowling actually. Maokochan had been going on about it for so long that okaasan gave up. it was just me, Maoko and Okaasan. Dont ask me were Takashi were, i dont know. But it was really fun! The... lane? Is that what its called? had walls, since it was meant for children, so it was impossible to miss. I won the first game and Okaasan the second. But I had more overall points too. ;D After that one of Okaasans friends showed up. She was really nice but.. I dont remember her name. xD Okaasan has too many friends! We went eating with her and they chose a really sweet traditional yakitori place! Yakitori is like... yakiru is to...prepare something basically... you do it when you bake bread.. you do it with meat and whatever. That verd works for anything in the kitchen. But yeah, it was like.. BBQ chicken. With some extremely good special recipe yakitori sauce!
Yakitori is like.. a few pieces of some certain part of the chicken on a stick, drenched in sauce. The basic one, mi, is just.. normal chicken meat. then there is chicken liver (yuck), chicken neck (twas okay!), chicken skin (ehm), chicken wings (nyum) and lots of different things... and also pork with onion; "negipooku", and like.. green pepper and stuff. it was really good! And they ordered FRIED CHICKEN SKIN, and now to everyone who cant understand Tsukushis family in Hana Yori Dango, I can say that it IS actually delicious! 8D Its all crispy and crunchy!

So thats our table. With Maokochan, Okaasans friend and Okaasan. ^^

And me, posing with the jichan who owned the resaturant and made the food. Everyone was really cool there! they liked asked me from where I was and tried talking to me in English. i mean all the customers too! And then i heard two guys talking about Helsinki. xD But jichan was really sweet!

On saturday I went to some ballet concert with Olivia and her hostmum. We took the train to Itami, a part of Oosaka where the airport I flew to also is, and then a taxi to the place where the concert was. This is what me and Olivia spyed on the train 8D :

The picture is taken with my PHONE darlings...
At the concert Olivia was really hyped. she apparently loves ballet. Both me and Horisan (her hostmum)were falling asleep. xD But it didnt go on for that long, thank god. But we could laugh about it afterwards! X3 When we ate LOOOTS of deliscious newbaked bread in some Diamond City shopping center.

So thats Hori-san, Olivia and me at the bread place. It was called "Pompadour" xD
Then we just took the train back home and nothing happened before next day.

Which iiiiiis; PICNIC WITH OLIVIA xD
Dont ask me why... There arent even cherryblossoms yet... probably nest week. sanda is a quite cold city somehow. Even though i certainly dont think its cold!
We just decided that wed go buy some takeaway lunch, find some stupid place outside and eat. And then go and take purikura~~
o in Saty we found this shelf where you could pick ANYTHING and put it in a bentobok YOURSELF! We took everything from yakitori to tempura and sushi to Pocky. Then we walked to a park close to Midori and sat down on some thing beneath a roof, because it was raining slightly. We had really fun. we even tried eating 12 pockys at a time xD


Stupid galleria-style-picture of us during the picninc~~

Then we just kinda went to take the purikura and stuff. So nothing special to tell anymore... Here are some of our purikuras. The machines can send them to your phones and it was easy to email them to my gmail from there~~ LALALA~~ I just LOVE purikura x3 We actually did it two times! But only the newer one of the machines could mail them .___.



Oh! And tomorrow well go to Takarazuka by train, BY OURSELVES. theres some highschoolclub there whose activity is to "assosciate with foreigners" and theyre gonna take us to a lot of places. more info on that afterwards.

Hugs, Sandra
