Today it was the big test of everrything ive learned so far in school. It's small tests everyday but every friday it's big tests! And I felt really confident in almost everything , so i'm very satisfied! :D I've been working very hard since school started and will continue doing that! So today was my first real night off. Went out with some friends to the smallest bar ever , but it was the cutest bar too! So many nice japanese people and friends from my house.

Chin-san , Cho-san , Sen-san , me and Hayden-san :D

Puri kura pictures!!! Kaaaawaaiii ne?! かわいい ですね！

The days at school are so long sometimes , it starts everyda at 13.30 and ends at 16.45 but usually 17.00 as we have test everyday ..:D After school i'm always starving and go shop some food. Heres a place we went to yesterday, a sushi bar with a rolling band. can't remember the name of it ! :P

And this is todays food!

Close to dotonbori bridge. eat all you want for 1000 yen!!!!!

So it was finally time for the gogonihon party at Hub pub in Osaka. Everyone was welcome , students and friends!
So this wonderfull saturday morning i slept long and just took it easy. Lui-bo came to me around 15.00 , preparing for the event at 18.30 We decided that everyone who didn't know the way to the pub were to meet at the school 18.00 so we met some classmates there 

Heyden, Sen, Isak, Adamu , Samuel, Cho ( i think xD ) Lui-bo

We went to the hub pub and it was around 50 people in total for the gogonihon event :D Was sooo warm inside and we drank alot of beer , FOR FREE and ordered some very delicious drinks ;D

Its been 2 days since my mum left Japan to go back to sweden. It feels much longer actually...

I do miss my family alot but i feel that i'm getting more comfortable everyday. Not as independant of anyone , just have to take care of myself with responsibilities. But it feels really good right now.

On the same day my mum left me and Sandra wen't to Namba to buy my cellphone and shopping!
After the exhausting day we wen't to eat at a resturant but only ordered desert and snacks! :D
Reaaaalllly delicious!

Yesterday i had my first real class in school. It was rather much information , and it's quiet strict rules ;) Welcome to japan! Study hard everyday. Test everyday and in the end of the week it's a big test of the whole week.

I met alot of nice people in school but also in my shared house. Whole day yesterday and today i've been with my friend Lui-bo from school ( He's from China) We've been walking around in the city and ate some food , doing our homework and playing some games :D

RIght now it's also a big festival in Osaka.
On my way to school it's completley blocked with ppl  everywhere. the festival will last for 3 days in total 24/7

It takes around 15 -20 min to walk to my school. and almost the whole way it looks like this :D

On the way back to my apartment me and Lui-bo saw the cutest pikacu and Hatsune miku kaban ( Bag) It was huge!!! and the person who had the bag was a cosplay maid :D! Kawaiii!

Pikachuuuuuuu~~~~~~~  :3

Just thought i could post some pics of my mini apartment. It's really cozy! This is the biggest room on this floor. and at the moment no one else lives on my floor ( 2nd floor is apartment floor in the house) The other floors are for renting a room. So it's a share house with apartments in it basically.

This is from the entrance

This is my spacy toilet XD! All japanese toilets have heating on them! :D Rly warm and nice ;)

Awesome mini kitchen :D

My little fridge and microwave and my own bar table!

I'm very happy with my apartment, it's cozy and i have a air condioner ( Heater / cooler) on the wall
 to fit my needs :D

It's been a few days since i last blogged, it has now gone 2 days since i and mum arrived in Japan. I don't know where to start. It has been a dream for very long and i was searching inside to prepare myself for whats coming. But the truth is , i don't think you can prepare yourself to much as you won't know what to expect. I think i will start with the beginning..

as much as I can remember

So from the new years eve...I was celebrating with my family and Bo came that evening aswell. We ate really nice and alot of delicious food. Drank som champagne and offcourse continued to pack as we were going to leave the day after.

That was my last night in my room, I didnt get the feeling of saying goodbye for a long time. Something like I will see it soon. Or so i think atleast. Anyway the morning came and we continued to pack all our stuff and we left to the Airport.

We flew from Arlanda Stockholm to Helsinki ( Finland) that took around 1 ,5 hrs. From Finland  we had to wait for around 1 hour to get on the next flight to Osaka.

i think it took around 10 hours to fly. It felt long for a while inside the plane, but it was really cozy, good service and alot of entertainment. All seats had it's own touch / Ipad sorta screen, Where you could watch TV, alot of different movies/anime movies etc, even the flight. ( It was a kamera in the front of the plane and underneath it so you could see live when you were flying) Hightech;D

Anyway when we landed i was quiet exhashuted. So we gave the staff the certificate and papers we had to sign  on the plane. to get the ID.

So we took the bus from the Airport to Namba station and Samantha the house hostes picked us up with her little car. She showed me my new room. It was rather small, (they all are) But very cozy, It has its own minikitchen and big doubble bed, own closet and bathroom toilet, hightech toilet and shower. Like digital radio in the shower, the toilet seats has it's own heating system. My mother got another room, the hostess were kind enough to give her a own apartment for some days. But actually I wanted that room as it was little bigger, longer and much more spacy. I will upoad some pictures of it, haven't taken to many yet. So Samantha claimed the room for me which I'm really happy about.

Soon after we settled in the room , we just had alot of cleaning to do. like ALOT...

So we had to go out and buy some cleaning equippment. The hostess guides us around the neighborhood and area around naniwa ku.

We ate our first dinner at a resturant and unfortuanly we got a typical little japanese table, ( where you have to sit on the ground) With our strength...which was like 0. (completley exhahusted) it was difficult to sit down in such small place XD

But it was really nice, we got our stomaches full.After that we were on the way home to get some nice rest.

                           This it a really cute little cafe mum and I found the other day! :D

t          

NEXT DAY
We still had alot of things to do when we woke up. Cleaning and cleaning , packing up the suitcases and shopping food etc. I don't know how many times ive gone out but it feels like several days as ive been walking more than i have the last month i believe! My feet hurt alot , im tired from the trip ,  the times 8 Hour ahead of Sweden. I guess it's gonna take some time to get used to that too.

But today i had school for the first time. I had my placement test and met alot of people in the class from different countries. I will be going in the Afternoon class at 13.30 to  16.45 so that's 3 hours school a day. I made some new friends from China and America. We went to eat lunch and guess what!? we ate OKONOMIYAKI!!!! My first okonomiyaki ever, it was soooooo delicious! :D

We had to hurry to eat the food before the next orientation began. It was alot of information to take in for one day and all the tests. It was a really nice day just energy draining.

I'm really tired from today and my feet still hurt abit from all the crazy walking ive been doing in total.

So I'm gonna head to bed and i will take more pics and upload more soon :D
See you soon !

If you rub his feet, it's supposed to bring you luck! :D

Nu är det inte mer än 3 dagar tills jag åker till Japan! Tiden rusar så himmla fort.
Har fortfarande inte hunnit få den känslan att jag verkligen ska bort...

Tror det kommer kännas ganska rejält när jag väl sitter på planet :D
Så igår kväll började jag packa lite, hämta ner väskan från vinden där alla lysen var trasiga..! skit läskigt xD
Men har ändå den stationära datorn att sätta upp på vinden när jag väl orkar.

Efterom jag började packa ner halva rummet och städa det, så ser det inte speciellt snyggt ut..ungefär som ett bombnedslag :D Men det börjar ta sig mer nu :) Kommer packa mer imorgon och få tvätta de sista sakerna. Har ingen energi att göra någonting just nu, Vaknar runt 10 , men blir mörkt runt 4 . Så känns som det är mitt i natten nu vid 18.00 tiden. Så det får bli att spela lite spel ikväll bara, Köpte nyss WORMS revolution ! 50 % rea på steam ! Hurra!!

Kanske inte hinner blogga på nyårsafton då jag är rätt fullspäckad med packning och gud vet vad. Så skriver här och nu för säkerhetsskull! Gott nytt år och få en riktigt trevlig helg och fortsättning! :D

It's the 26th december today, all the shops are open again , and crazy OUTSALE on almost everything. I was thinking of going out in the crazyness and buy the last things i need for my trip to Japan.
But i soon realized i will be to tired to even try it. The city is so crowded with people that you probably can't get on time with busses.

So i'm just home now , taking it easy and thinking of when i will need to start packing. All the things i will be bringing with me , will be rather heavy so i hope it will make the weight at the airport.
I will be bringing 2 Suitcases + my mother will come along for the 1:st week, and with that i have some extra space in her bag too :D my first bag will be filled with only clothes, the 2nd one which is a shellbag, i would have the more "vulnurable" stuff, like make up , the liquid (shampoo,balsam, 4kg special hair cream) external harddrive,kamera, shoes etc.

Apart from all the packing , i will have to completley cleanse out my room. Clean it all up , put all my things away. Althou my room will not dissapear! :D But my computer screen + staionary PC will be packed down so it won't just stand here and gather dust. Hurray for cleaning!!
