Whoa~

Helloo, to anyone who is listening.

I've spent a long time doing nothing in the last few months since I've written anything lol!

Nothing interesting to report, but I will go back to Tokyo for 2 weeks in April, and then I'll have lots of cool things to talk about.

Then I have to go to school in summer :(

Hopefully I can find a job to save up for a bit and then take my working holiday in Tokyo.

Last weekend, I went out for some pre-birthday shenanigans at a pub in downtown Vancouver, which was totally fun. I should have been drunk off my ass, by I think my magic coconut water saved the day! I wasn't even hung over!!

My nice friends signed my birthday shirt :)

AND the pub had a cool photobooth where I spent all my money LOL

Good memories.

Working Holiday

I am thinking very seriously about taking next semester off, and using it to take a working holiday in Tokyo. I really want to apply for a working holiday visa, and then take the initiative to just do it, but I'm scared.
I can't even get a job in my home town, how am I supposed to apply for jobs in Tokyo?
I need a fresh start, and I think this would be great for me, but how practical is it?
What happens if I just use up my life savings doing this, and never end up finding work?

If you've ever taken a working holiday somewhere, especially in Japan, I'd love to hear about your experiences.

First Day of Golden Week

It was a bad idea to try and go to Harajuku on the first day of Golden Week. It was the most crowded I have ever seen it, ever! I could barely even fit into any of the stores because they were brimming with people, and lots of kids with their parents as well. I DID manage to force myself into the idol shops though *troll face*

My God. We made it.

Mom and I arrived in Tokyo yesterday! It's just such a crazy "vacation", coming to Japan. Our flight was great though, even though it was delayed for an hour or so. I've never flown Air Canada before, always JAL, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, the plane was practically empty! There were so many seats available, mom was able to sleep on all three seats behind me, and watch TV wherever she wanted haha.
Speaking of which, the selection of things to watch was actually really awesome on this flight. I had brought my laptop and the entire stretch of Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata, so I could just watch Yamapi for 10 hours, but I only managed to watch one episode. I don't know, but I just feel like it didn't suck me in. That says a lot for it being a show with Yamapi in it. Well, death is depressing for some I guess.

 One of my meals on Air Canada. Pretty basic Japanese style meal. I give it 3/5

 Sweet yummy coffee!

 Traffic :/

 Room key for mine and Cindy's little bunk room :3

It is actually so hot here right now! Well, for the Japanese, I guess it's not hot. To Canadians who live with the polar bears and igloos (according to the rest of the world), this is summer! I feel stupid for bringing even one sweater :/. Last night, we were to tired to eat anything real, so we just have some convenience store snacks.  Calpis with 3% alcohol. Legit. For those of you who don't know what Calpis is, it is in fact, not piss, but greatness. There's just no way to describe it if you've never had it. Like a sports drink kind of maybe? Or a light yogurt drink? I don't know. Anyway, Calpis Sour, 4/5 only because the alcohol contect is soooo tiny. Hahaha.

In all, our trip was A BIT hellish, since we kind of walked the wrong way, mom was tired, and some old man and obasan had to give us directions. See, when I'm with mom, tons of people jump to help us! When I'm with dad, no one helps us lol. Well, I guess it's natural for that to happen to me half of the time *laughs*.
