Hello Goodbye

On Thursday I woke up around 5am, our flight was departing 11am and we wanted to have time to do last possible shoppings at the airport. Our luggage were so full! And a little overweight o_o It was such a pain to get the suitcases to the airport and once we did get them there I was so sweaty..

Umeshu, plum wine, and I didn't realize until now that you can actually get this exact same umeshu from Finland too, lol.

It was time to say Goodbye to Japan..

Bought these from the airport too, some snacks for the flight, hehe.

Thought these were mochi because of the picture they had but they weren't. But it also doesn't say motch anywhere so yes, my mistake. Still really good!

This time I really liked the food they served on the flight. Well I've always liked it but this time even more :D

The flight went well and this time I even slept quite well for few hours. Some turbulences but not as bad as on our way to Japan. And I didn't get sick!

After 9 and half hours it was Hello Finland! We arrived yesterday around 4pm? And gosh how different the weather is here compered to Japan! Even though it's warm here it's not even close to the kind of warmth than in Japan. In Japan it's also so sweaty..

I was so tired once we got back to our apartment and after unpacking my luggage I went straight to bed.

Here's what I bought. Not including foods and souvenirs, stickers, postcards nor clothes :D (uh how much did I buy?!)

CDs and manga, so much love <3

All the bags and wallets.. I weren't supposed to buy this many ^^;
And can you guess my favorite color, lol.

So many shoes... But all of them are from second-hand stores and almost unused!

These are my absolute favorites! *-*

Ace and Law figures, love love love~ More babies to my collection at really good price <3

More One Piece stuff <3

The other side.

And then these beauties~

Ahh how I love all these~ I wanted to buy so much more but there's a limit! Lol I had to remind myself all the time that there's a limit how much I can fit in my suitcase (and my room) and do I really need this or that..

But yeah that was it, 3 weeks in Japan.. Gosh how fast the time went by, I just want to go back as soon as possible <3

Thank you to everyone who read this! Hope you enjoyed reading, hope I didn't have too many misspellings and sorry for starting to get lazy at writing at the end :D

Rainy day at karaoke

Last day! And sadly rain was forecasted... Well what would be better way to spend a rainy day if not at karaoke??

It didn't rain in the morning so we decided to walk to Shinjuku and check few more stores for the last time.

I will forever lol at this.

I lied in the last post! Today was the last sushi here.. Snif, gonna miss it.

Karaokeee~! It was around 2:30pm? when we arrived and freetime was till 8pm, hehe. And gosh did we sing! So much fun untill I started to lose my voice....

When we left it was raining.. We were back around 8pm? And we had some more packing to do, still has.. and trying to eat all the food from the fridge...

Tomorrow back to Finland. Ahh it's been amazing 3 weeks, gonna miss Japan so much. I'm not waiting for the flight and 10 hours of sitting.... nor dragging the heavy luggages to the airport.... D:

Ajisai viewing in Kamakura

Early wake up indeed. I woke up 6:30am since we were heading to Kamakura which is an hour train drive away from Tokyo. We were going to visit few Ajisaideras (=Hydrangea Temples)! We left 8:30am and arrived Kamakura around 10am. First we visited Meigetsuin Temple. The tempel area was pretty and the hydrangeas so beautiful! It would have been even more if all the hydrangeas were bloomin.

From Maigetsuin we took a train to Hase-dera Temple.

Sadly in Hase-dera there was even less blooming Hydrangeas.. The Tempel and the view from the higher, thought, were really pretty!
 

Whenever I see bamboos I wanna bite them.................

TheTh was a little restaurant so we stopped by to eat something light. Dango zenzai, yummy!

We only visited these two tempels and few shops.

Had to taste these Japanese sweets, kintsubas. I bought sweet potato flavor.

It didn't take us more than 3 hours to see the places and since we had nothing else to do in Kamakura we headed back to Tokyo and Shibuya.

Shibuya city view from Shibuya 109 men's Magnet top floor.

:D

Some last shoppings. Bought Yonezu Kenshi's one CD from tower records and I couldn't be happier! I want all his cds ;A;

Super good ice cream from Don Quijote and only 100yen!

Probably the last sushi in Japan.. Gonna miss it bcoz it's just so good here!

From Shibuya we walked to Harajuku, visited closet child and headed to Nakano for the last time.

Random alleys in Harajuku..

We came back to our apartment around 8pm and started to pack.. I'm so glad I could fit everything in my suitcase!

Some snacks I bought from Don Quijote, those takoyaki cheeseballs are pretty good! But the pockies are not..

So tomorrow is our last day here in Japan, don't wanna leave ;A; it should start to rain at noon so until then we're shopping in  Shinjuku and then spend the rest of the day in karaoke! Yes or yes?!
