Tokyo street snaps | Going to Kyoto

I will be going on a small trip to Kyoto this weekend! Just had a few hours to kill before I'm leaving with the night bus so thought why not blog a little? ;)

Here are a few snapshots I've taken recently. I'm looking much more forward to taking photos in Kyoto! It's soon gonna be momiji in Japan, the season where all the leaves turn yellow/orange and red! I haven't been to Kyoto since my first time in Japan which was in 2009, so it's gonna be nice to see it again :)

A lot of school children in Yoyogi park!

At Waseda University Festival. Students making Korean pancakes.

So many different 'circles' aka club activities! Here's traditional Japanese instruments and dancing

 And then finally last week my dear Bine came to Tokyo!!

Me and Bine at Udon restaurant hehe

Nice BD present from Bine <3

 She brought me all the stuff I miss from home hehe! And oatmeal is one thing I love to eat for breakfast and it's super expensive here in Japan. Ad then of course licorice!

 

Bine wanted to see the Square Enix shop and we were surprised when we found out it wasn't that far away from where we live :D I haven't been there either so we were quite hyped.

Square Enix show case entrance

 It was much smaller than we both had expected though lol!! So we kinda had the feeling of "is that it?? No secret room or anything we didn't see??" kinda feeling haha!

 

 But it was fun anyways!

 And the next photo was all worth it!! Actually we came especially to look at Sephiroth on the ground hehe

And the other day we went to Ikebukuro with sweet Kiba! <3 

Puri of that day!! I like how I have the biggest eyes LOL very anime. desu.

Yes I will be back again with hopefully a lot of nice photos from Kyoto next time!

Halloween cosplay~!

Happy Halloween! 

ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ

 

 So these past days Tokyo has been full of the craziest halloween parties!

Me and the girls decided to do a super otaku halloween cosplay (since we are nerdy like that lol)

From the super ecchi zombie anime series: Highschool of the Dead! ψ(*｀ー´)ψ

Me as the annoying brain Saya Takagi lol

Maria as Senpai Saeko Busujima and Bexi as
Rei Miyamoto

 

It was super fun to smear the blood on the uniforms lol! (・｀ω´・)

As you can see from the background we were in Omotesando. SUPER highclass luxurious area, so walking around in cosplay was a bit awkward haha! Even though Omotesando is right next to Harajuku and it's halloween, people were still staring a lot and asking if there was some special event lol!

スケベ！(perv)

 A lot of people thought we cosplayed from Sailormoon too (;¬_¬)

But some did recognize us! Amongst them some super otaku people! One guy was literally shaking from fandom when he saw us lol!! So cute hahaha!! (*≧▽≦)

Freezer from Dragonball was there as well lol

 We went to a halloween event in Omotesando Hills. Most people showed up in costumes!

 Jack Sparrow was a pretty popular costume as well as slutty nurses and spidy lol

 

 The girls on the cosplay catwalk lol!

 Different prizes were given out to people. Most of them were pretty randomly selected which was kinda a shame for the people who had spend a lot of time and money on their costumes. But Maria was so lucky to get a small bracelet as a gift hehe! (ヘ。ヘ)

 After the event we were supposed to go to another private party, however it SUPER sucked and we already payed to get in only to realize how awful the party was (AND out of booze even though they promised there would be free bar). We wanted to leave after only 5 min, but since we didn't wanna waste our money and the idiot guy didn't wanna give us back our cash we just stole some booze (after waiting for it to arrive after an hour) from the party and left lol... seriously. ヽ(｀⌒´メ)ノ

 But cosplaying with the girls was super fun!! It was both Maria's and Bexi's first time cosplaying with wigs, costume and everything teehee.. 

Thanks for an awesome halloween! Hope you all had or will have great halloween parties as well!!

o((*^▽^*))o

Sweets Paradise (｡♥‿♥｡)

So I'm obviously bad at blogging here in Japan.. （ﾉ´д｀） Well I cannot promise I'll get better with it, but you can always follow me on my facebook page as mentioned before since I'm more active there (or twitter).

But well to catch up a bit I went to a place called "Sweets Paradise" with Maria on my birthday!

It's a 'tabehoudai'/all-you-can-eat chain full of CAKE! Yes people.. this is where you wanna go to get fat lol..

I went to the shop in Shinjuku, it's right next to Shinjuku station east exit.

 

 

Well since it was my birthday we had been thinking about going to a regular cake restaurant, but hey.. why not go all out and go to a cake buffet?? Much cheaper anyway and you can try more than 20 different kinds of cake! You get 70 min for about 1500 yen.

 The ticket machine! There was a small line when we came there but we didn't wait more than 10 min I think.

 The cake van!

 Full of cake!

Well they DO have normal food as well such as pasta, pizza, rice, curry, salad and soup. But not as much as cake since that's the main attraction. But we started of with a bit of the regular food hehe and then went for cake!

  

And THEN it was CAKE TIME! Well I think I totally overestimated myself.. I THOUGHT I could eat an endless amount of cake. But after one plate I felt kinda sick lol /disappointedwithself

But THEN we saw that they had ice cream as well!! Woooow win!! So obviously we had to get some while still feeling a bit sick with cake lol..

 Maria trying the icecream first.......

OMG icecream is too SWEET!? 

Yeah it was actually crazy HOW sweet it was.. so much it hurt your tongue... T_T I've never tried anything like that.. It was like soft ice with 3 spoon full of sugar on top. I usually love ice cream.. But I guess I'm not cut out for the ice cream in Sweets Paradise lol

Photo kindly taken by sweet Maria

Oh oh not to forget the small chocolate fountain!

And that was my trip to Sweets Paradise! You can check out their website of you're interested in going

www.sweets-paradise.jp/

They have shops around Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku.

Well there are a lot of these kind of all-you-can-eat places in Japan. I liked Sweets Paradise, but it was not my favorite. Most of the cakes looked really nice but were a bit boring in taste. And then a few were of course really nice! But if you wanna go for a cake buffet it is definitely worth it!!

Oh and check out my small photoshoot with Maria! The rest are on my facebook page ;D

Trying out my new lens! And it was Maria's first time trying a photoshoot.. I'm really surprised how well she did!! Especially because she usually gets a bit awkward when I take regular photos of her haha!!

 

And least but not last... I did something to my hair 8D

To-ki-YO! ★

 さあ皆さん、今日からこのブログは日本語で書きます～！

 ホストが好きですか？

 あたしあまり好きじゃないけど、面白いと思います！

Ginza!

 冗談！これを読めばおめでとう！（笑）

じゃあ英語で続きます～！

Sooo did you think I was gonna write all in Japanese?? ;D Just fooling around waha oh well.. To sum up! The first day in Japan was pretty emotionally harsh, but I got through thanks to my roomie (we were both having a minor crisis lol)

Taking a stroll through the city the first day we ended up getting lost and found ourself in the host club district seeing no way out. So we went into one just for shit and giggles! No we didn't, but could have been fun to try, especially because it was only around 1pm haha!

The first three photos after the Host poster (lol) are from exclusive Ginza! I actually haven't been there before, so it was my first time despite it's my third time in Japan haha!

Next up is Ebisu! Very very beautiful area!! I've always wanted to go there for a special reason...

Yes it is ALL for this particular stone figure. I'm serious. If you know what I am talking about I'll love you forever haha!!

 More photos of the stoooone!!

And if you still don't know why I'm fancying a stone figure, this is total PROOF that I'm not the only one ;D

Ebisu Garden Plaza! A lot of people relaxing and children playing around! There's a department store and a lot of shops in the buildings as well.

This girl was playing with soap bubbles with her friend and her dad. Soooo cute!! (so I took a stalker photo)

Cute children bike! And thank god I'm a girl, 'cause I think all the parents would have thought I was a creepy pedophile taking all those photos of children >__>; haha...

Heading to Korean Town (aka Shin Okubo) walking through Kabukichou, Shinjuku. There's always a huge risk getting a million flyers and being tempted (or not lol) by pretty (or... not!!) hosts :P

I just keep being creepy lol..

And Korean town means a LOT of Kpop EVERYWHERE as well. So much I'm unsure if I went to Japan at all lol!

Yaay me and roomie Maria XD Lol.. Notice how nice we 'set up' the background?? :P

And guess who I saw in television... Kame~!!!! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Now my goal is to see him LIVE!! I'll properly go all highschool girl fan crazy if that ever happened.. ahaha!! But thereafter my life would be complete lol

Kattun in a weird show... It was pretty weird and funny >3<

And that has kinda been my current week here in Japan. Though I only took photos for 3 days >_>;

I'll take much more photos when I get to experience more amusing stuff!! I currently have a REALLY exciting project this weekend..!! I'll just say it's properly the first step into the field I wanna work in and I've been granted a huge chance!! I'm really excited but can't reveal anymore~ I'll of course show/tell you when everything is finished ;D

So that has been Japan so far! It's super hot and humid here but other than that quite nice! I must say I'm pretty curious myself to know how this year will turn out hehe...

Thanks for reading! (︶ω︶)
