So here we are again...
another X-mas has passed us by, and how much different was it?
Well.. my X-mas already started on Dec 23.
I had X-mas dinner at Tiffany's house, I got my 2nd X-mas gift. a HELLO KITTY alarmclock..
LOL.. it's so cute and all but I know what my dad will say when he'll see it!!
After dinner we all went out to a X-mas party~
it was fun..met some friends I havent seen for ages...
And we got back at 4am something... and watched DBSK dramas.. I just love Yunho's when there were in Japan..
Woke up at 10.30 am something and just got all my stuff together and went home...
Freezing cold and still a sleep! so when I came home the only thing I did was to take off my clothes and went straight to bed.
In the evening my aunt, uncle, grandma..etc came..
we had a traditional X-mas dinner, talked..and then opened our presents!
Somehow when I think about it..I have gotten old..
I mean what I got was things I need.. such as socks, underwear..etc..
and a new mp3 (bought it in Korea^^), a stereo and a dvd box with a Taiwanese Tv-serie.
and some money...
but the best present of them all was the one from Sayuri.. I got a pair of mittens!!
Dec 25
Slept most of the day (woke up around 2.30pm) since I was up until 6 am watching a Korean drama... watched the whole series..haha!
In the afternoon however we went to my aunt and uncles place. and ate turkey..I think it was! (O__o)
talked a lot to my cousin and her boyfriend~~
and had a good evening!! and we also played some games...! and ate lots of food and cakes...etc
Dec 26.
Me, mum and dad went to Storvik, where we have our cottage,and in the evening we went to one of my uncles houses and had dinner..
and I met my other cousins.. one of them whom I havent seen for a year I think..!!
Also I have to say.. we have ZERO snow in Stockholm.. but in Storvik..we have MORE THAN ENOUGH!!! and it's freezing cold..
and I'm already sick, have been sick for 2 weeks now... kinda like last year but worse!!
GIVE ME A BREAK.... PLEASE!?
So in a way.. my X-mas this year is very similar from the one last year, except from the order, last year we started in Storvik and not Stockholm..
and I missed Kalle Anka on tv..but a part from that..the same!
Same food, same people, same traditions~~
Nothing bad about it but..well..it's always the same... (^^;)
Today's mood: feeling like throwing up!?
Today's song: all various kinds of X-mas songs
Today's food: trad. Swedish X-mas food

Zero motivation~
Tentorna är här, julklappar ska köpas, julbak och allt annat som har med julen står i hallen.
Men ändå så har jag ZERO motivation~~
Jag känner inte för att öppna böckerna överhuvudtaget!
Jag saknar mitt plugg i Korea, där trots att man var som en robot så hade man ändå motivation.
Vilket är tragiskt men kan inte ändra på det.. för man kan ju inte ändra på folks sätt att lära ut, utan man borde då vara större och hitta sitt eget inlärningssätt eller hur!?
Men att ta det ansvaret känner jag inte heller för... Lat som jag är!? *Jag erkänner*
Det här med julklappar är en bra fråga, då folk undrar "Carro vad vill du ha i julklapp?"
När jag va liten började jag redan skriva min önskelista i oktober och den var kanske 3 A4 ark..FRAM och BAK.
Men i år.. kan jag knappt komma på något.. Jag har redan fått en ny mp3..
Så..ja antar att det inte blir så mycket mer...men är nöjd ändå.
Önskelista
Extern hårddisk 1TB
Extern hårddisk 1TB
KinKi Kids 39 Phi koncert dvd
KinKi Kids 39 Phi tour Parka (tjocktröja)
Mobiltelefon
Hot Shot (Box 3 & 4)
Honey & Clover (Japansk limited version)
Garderob
YUI - My short stories (CD+DVD)
Jerry Yan cd's
Div. Arashi prylar~
Ett förstorat foto med Sakurai Sho (som jag kan rama in o ha på väggen)Seriöst... jag har ingen aning!!
Jag köpte det mesta i Korea och Japan... så kan inte komma på så mycket mer, dessutom har både dollarn och yenet gått upp så vill undvika att beställa för mycket saker!
Utöver studierna så sliter jag på jobbet, ett mycket tråkigt jobb men det ger pengar i alla fall, dvs det jag vill ha och behöver!
En bra julbonus.. (^__^)
Hoppas oxå att jag hittar ett nytt jobb..
Det låter inte så skoj men jag ska faktiskt jobba på nyårsdagen... pengar e pengar!
Nästa vecka har jag en till tenta, dvs har ca 600 sidor att läsa på~~
*Someone save me*
Ser fram emot allt som kommer efteråt iaf...
Just nu väntar jag på min julklapp från Sayuri.. my best friend i Korea.. saknar henne.. men vad kan jag göra.. NOTHING!
Jag ska även umgås med Tiff, Lisan, Sandra...o alla andra trevliga människor..
Ska oxå ha ett snack med min kära storebror... dvs slå honom lite och säga att han är en dålig bror som inte hör av sig så ofta som han brukar!! (_ _)
Time to study.. igen.. orden bara snurrar men har inget val!
Önska mig lycka till~~
Dagens humör: deppad!
Dagens låt: 동방신기 - 사랑 안녕 사랑

Jerry talks..
Somehow I should be posting this somewhere else but...hmm.. I make this one anyway..
Jerry talks!!!
In a late interview he was asked alot of questions and seriously..his answers!!!
______________________________________________
The #1 Dashing Guy in the Entertainment Circle, how is the Chinese actor like in person? (cred to the translator..)
Jerry Yan a member of Asia’s hot band F4, will be acting the manga inspired ‘Skip Beat’ as Superstar Ren Tsuruga in this Taiwanese and Japanese collaboration.
He said it himself, "There are quite a few similarities between me and the character."
When one sees his seriousness at work and the parts where he makes mistakes, it feels like seeing one’s own laughter.
The most handsome actor in Asia Jerry Yan will be acting as Ren Tsuruga known for his dashing looks and #1 Mr. Dashing in the show.
Yet he expressed, "I don’t think I am handsome. My eyes, nose and mouth are nothing to talk about. I like my fingers the best." (Hmm..well..can't blame him..however I don't think most people look at his hands..I mean I rather look at his handsome face..lol)
The reporter sighed, ‘Not at all, not at all.’ Seeing his handsome looks up close makes one’s heartbeat quicken and his hairstyle is so perfect.
Jerry Yan one the other hand asked, "Really? I feel that Zai’s blue dyed hair in the concert really looks good. I can’t do that. At times I think I might as well shave it all off."(Jerry, please don’t ever do that whatever you do!!!)
Reporter said, ‘Oh, please don’t do that.’ Seeing his dashing looks, he is not proud nor putting on an act but just the opposite, he is very humble.
Causes One To Stare With Eyes Wide Open
Jerry Yan continued, "Although I am an artiste, I’m neither very eloquent nor clever so all I can do is to work hard. To repay all my fans for their support with my best work. "
I really looking forward to the latest work of this dashing guy as he is so full of confidence about it.
____________________________________________
His new album is said to be released next year and I can't wait!!! (0^__^)~~
I'm also looking forward to his new dramas...!! (0^__^)0
I so hope his song 一半(Yi ban) will be on that record..or I'll hunt him down and hit him.. lol!
However it's good to know that something good will come out of 2009!!

Jerry Yan guests on 'Kang Xi Lai Le' ; Xiao S bombards him with relationship questions, Thursday January 16 2009, Taiwan
source: NOWnews
translated by: Sarah @ http://asianfanatics.net
Jerry Yan is quite stubborn when it comes to going on shows; he refuses to talk about his relationships. Unfortunately, he meets fiery Xiao S and even he can’t do anything about it! In the end, he is forced to admit that he previously lived together with his ex-girlfriend and he also likes to watch romantic A-films, letting this interview sink into a semi-surrender state!
Jerry doesn’t like to talk about relationships; Xiao S insists on looking at his underwear
To promote for upcoming PTS idol drama ‘Starlit’, Jerry went on ‘Kang Xi Lai Le’ for the first time, and he invited his co-stars Terri Kwan and Liu Rui Qi to accompany him, as he was afraid of Xiao S asking him about his relationships. But unexpectedly, on the show, Xiao S releases full firepower, and even his co-stars couldn’t do anything to help him.
Because before the show, Jerry had already expressed that he does not wish to discuss any relationship matter, as soon as filming started, Xiao S asked directly: “Do you want to talk about your relationships, or do you want me to look at your underwear?” Since Jerry did not reply, Xiao S immediately ran to the back of him, and pulled up his clothing, and she even chased Jerry around the studio. In the end, she said: “I saw it! Very normal style, it’s grey boxers, with white elastic belt.”
Jerry reveals he initially lived with his girlfriend; Xiao S knows it was for 2 years
Although she has already seen his underwear, Xiao S is still in a hot pursuit in asking about his relationships. She bombards him with questions: “When was your last relationship? Was she over 170cm in height?” Jerry replied that his last relationship was within a year, but as for her height, he was unwilling to disclose, seems that he is afraid Xiao S will pigeon-hole her as Lin Zhi Ling.
Cai Kang You skillfully asks the guests to guess: “Has Jerry lived together with his girlfriend in the past? How long?” Xiao S guessed “once, for 2 years” and Terri guessed “three times, 2, 4, 1 year” and Jerry answered: “Xiao S is more close.” Xiao S then replied: “I didn’t guess randomly, I know these things.”
Xiao S bombards; Jerry confesses
Xiao S asked Jerry the reason for his last break-up and he revealed that he was “very bad and immature,” so the 2 broke-up naturally. Cai Kang Yong couldn’t help but ask: “So do you still love her now?” Towards this, Jerry refused to answer directly and said: “In the past, we loved each other, definitely will have feelings.”
As the relationships topic drew to a close, Xiao S then asked: “Do you watch A-films, what type do you like to watch?” Jerry did not reply to both, but said that he likes to watch romantic ones; Xiao S then asked: “Will you dare to shower naked infront of a mirror?” Jerry said: “No, because I don’t have any confidence in my body.”
Xiao S: Jerry electrifies someone else’s wife
Cai Kang Yong asked Xiao S: “Have you fantasised about Jerry?” Xiao S expressed that there was once when Jerry went on ‘100% Entertainment’ and he very passionately pinched her face, but then the second time they met, he was like a person who she had just met; felt very unfamiliar. Although Da S and Jerry are quite close, Xiao S feels that Jerry is a person who is sometimes cold, sometimes hot.
However, out of all the male artists that she has interviewed, Xiao S feels that Jerry is the one electrifies her the most, she said impolitely: “When he talks to me, his eyes will keep on electrifying at me, I’m already married, what does he want!”

Today's mood: hangover (eating too many books.. finals are coming up)

Tv-serier
Då livet går upp o ner... så finns det något man kan roa sig med.
Alla känner till alla amerikanska serier såsom Friends, Grey's Anatomy, ER, 7th Heaven, Lost, Prision Break...o listan fortsätter.
För att vara ärlig så gillar jag flera av de jag radade upp.. Men för att vara ärlig, ju längre de håller på desto mer less blir jag.
Ja menar, tillslut händer inget nytt. Det är samma historia fast olika personer eller så byter man ut lite saker men i slutändan så får vi samma svar!
Vilket är lite trist, MEN ändå är det ingen som klagar utan man bara fortsätter att kolla~
Jag älskar ex serien Friends, men vid närmre eftertanke..så.. ja.. hur många avsnitt liknar inte varandra?! Bara att man bytt ut huvudpersonen..!?
Eller ta ex. One Tree Hill (zappade förbi den idag)! Den har hållt på sedan jag gick i högstadiet!
Vad händer? Triangeldrama, svek, romans...bla bla bla.. vi alla har sett det nu 1 miljon gånger om, och de man vill ska bli ett par får aldrig varandra!!
Och man bara väntar o tänker...kanske nästa avsnitt.. men nej då kommer någon annan in och förstör!
Då måste jag säga att det finns en fördel med asiatiska serier (dock med vissa undantag)
För de flesta asiatiska serier är endast mellan 9-30 avsnitt och sedan är det slut.
Vilket är bra, man får med allt utan att överdriva eller fortsätta säsong efter säsong.
Visst finns det stunder då jag vill ha mer men.. förr eller senare kommer det en ny serie ;)
I Sverige och många andra Västländer känner man inte till mycket om asien och dess media.
Dvs. förutom storfilmer som: Hero, Old Boy, Flying Daggers.. osv.
Vilket är synd, för det finns mycket talang som aldrig kommer fram~
istället sitter man och ser på det gamla vanliga. Och när man pratar om asien och vad de har så att säga så är det inte särskillt seriöst utan det hela slutar i att man skojar om saker och ting.
Vilket är synd, för jag tror att man kan lära sig mycket genom en tv-serie eller en film.
det finns sjukt mycket bra saker som aldrig kommer att komma hit till väst utan som alltid kommer att stanna i öst!
Lite mer utbyte skulle vara bra... och det kan kanske få producerare att tänka om!?
Man kan lära sig om en annan kultur, en främmande och kanske tom. konstig till en början men ju mer man ser desto mer börjar man förstå.
Sen måste jag ju nämna att det är svårt att få tag på asiatiska saker men det finns en hel del!
Tv-serier som jag kan rekommendera:
Taiwan
Meteor Garden 1 (Taiwanesiska versionen av Hana Yori Dango)
Devil Beside you
Bull fighting
Hot Shot
Miss no Good (FAST jag störde mig genom hela serien på Rainies tillgjorda röst.. det piper fortfarande i mina öron!!)
Wish to see you again (den var dock lite seg i mitten..)
Sedan finns oxå Huan Huan Ai ((med Rainie Yang, Mike He och Kingone - som alla var med i Devil beside you.. dock så var den här serien lite trögare.. men.. gillade Kingone mycket mer i denna serie!))
Fated to love you ((var en bra serie oxå och mycket populär men seriöst..jag dog när slutet kom.. och blev ganska arg oxå!!))
It started with a kiss 1+2 (Även dem var mycket populära och jag föredrar 1an.. men den var så lång att man till slut blev lite trött och bara väntade på de sista avsnitten!)

White Tower
Who are you?
Japan
1 Litre of tears (Serien borde heta 1million litre of tears..och om ni ser kommer ni att förstå varför. Serien är 1 miljon gånger bättre än filmen. och att den bygger på en "dagbok" gör det ännu värre...om man kan säga så..)
Bara no nai hanaya (Söt och rörande drama)
Beautiful Life (Kimura Takuya fick titlen hårfrisör efter dramat..o jag skulle inte tacka nej att bli klippt av honom)
Change (KimuTaku once again.. hans senaste drama.. en av de bättre! Även Madonna tyckte att det var ett intressant drama!!)

Do my best
Okej, igår var inte världens bästa dag, jag mådde fortfarande kasst efter allergi attacken från söndagen..
o på eftermiddagen gick jag till doktorn, dock för en helt annan orsak.. Så jag hoppas att jag får tid på St: Eriks ögonsjukhus snart, o vem vet..snart kanske jag ligger på operationsbordet för 3e gången~
Det skulle behövas i alla fall! Fast på sätt o vis känns det oxå lite skrämmande, för det får mig att tänka på gamla minnen, smärtan och alla blodiga tårar!
Men på samma gång kan jag inte leva såhär resten av livet! Något måste göras, men antar att det är bara vänta och se och hoppas på det bästa!
Efteråt gick jag hem i det iskalla vädret och jag höll på att bryta ihop pga jag frös till en ispinne, men pinade mig hem i alla fall!
Sedan var det dags att ta fram skolböckerna och läsa lite, fast att jag inte hade lust alls!
Under den senaste tiden har jag bara kännt hur meningslös det är att plugga koreanska på SU.. jag känner inte att jag lär mig något nytt, och det jag lärde mig i Korea tynar bort mer och mer...
Fast det kanske beror på min inställning också...men jag ska göra mitt bästa!!
Fast det kanske beror på min inställning också...men jag ska göra mitt bästa!!
Har också tänkt på att jag lärt mig mer japanska än koreanska sedan jag kom hem till Sverige.. well well.. ska sluta klaga och ta tag i det hela.. Eller? (O___o;)
Jag öppnade även skivorna jag fick av Hanna som hon köpte till mig i Kina i somras, till min förvåning var det inte musik cd utan VCD, med musik videos med karaoke funktion.. inte fyskam det heller men..lite förvånande..!
Idag vaknade jag tidigt, och gick till jobbet, hade ingen lust då jag var sjukt trött..då jag hela natten fokuserat på att hålla mig varm..på något underligt sätt så fryser jag konstant, trots att det är varmt inomhus! Är jag på väg att bli sjuk!?
I alla fall jobbet gick bättre än jag trodde, och jag fick in 2 kunder i alla fall...
Efter mitt FÖRSTA jobb, tog jag paraplyet och rusade ner till busshållsplatsen och åkte till mitt andra jobb!
Kan säga att regnet öste ner och det blåste rejäla vindar..kalla sådana på köpet!
Tillbringade resten av eftermiddagen på mitt andra jobb, och det var SVINKALLT i mitt arbetsrum, men det var för att någon idiot stängt av värmen, och det blev inte varmt förrän jag skulle gå, KUL KUL...INTE!!
Efter jobbet gick jag o mamma på stan och letade lite små julklappar till Taeko, Takako och Yuko.. hittade några fina saker..
+ Jag köpte ett julkort till Sayuri, samt hittade en riktigt söt nalle som jag ska skicka till henne...
Ursch när jag tänker på det så saknar jag min Onni (storasyster)... vi brukade alltid göra något roligt.. typ, luncha, ta roliga kort, baka, gå på bio, prata.. go crazy (0^^')~~
Jag och mamma hittade en ny skobutik i stan, seriöst..en helt ny kedja..så jag måste säga GRATTIS STOCKHOLM...haha...!!

Dagens problem..
Så under den senaste tiden har jag laggt ner mycket tid och kraft på att städa mitt rum..
har hittat en del saker jag inte behöver osv..
Bla. cd-skivor jag köpt men inte lyssnat på..och inte längre vill ha.
ex. KAT-TUN's Queen of Pirates (JP LE), DBSK - Mirotic version B.
Seriöst, jag hatar skivbolag som SM.. ja menar 1 cd fast minst 4 utgåvor..ORKA!!
Nu när jag ser efter vad de olika innehåller så kan jag säga att det är Version C jag vill ha.
Dock har jag redan A och B... *suck*
Och folk klagar över att man laddar ner, ja menar..oftast är det 1-2 låtar som skiljer men då det finns folk som inte är gjorda av pengar eller har tid och kraft att lägga ner på att köpa "samma" cd gånger X antal gånger så har man tillslut inget val..eller?
Jag har inget emot att köpa fler utgåvor..men snälla förvarna en innan, eller har en onlinesite där man kan "köpa" de enstaka låtarna..så e jag nöjd!
Och när det gäller svenska skivbolag... SÄNK priserna. Inte en kotte vill köpa en cd för 210 kr med endast 10 låtar.
Ja menar..det kostar ca. 50 kr att tillverka skivan, så ja..lurade blir vi alla!?
Dessutom väntar jag på 3 kartonger med prylar från Korea, skor, väskor, kläder, böcker osv.
Skulle behöva en ny garderob..o kanske ett större rum?
Det här med världsekonomin gör inte livet bättre.. inte nog med att man är fattig.. nu måste man verkligen vända upp o ner på varje krona och tänka efter så att man inte en dag står där med händerna i byxfickan och inte har något kvar!
Ett jobb skulle sitta fint. och hoppas att jag får ett... måste bara söka! (har sökt några och väntar på svar)
Min räddning under denna period är musik och komedi, i form av Arashi, andra JE artister samt tvserier.
Många tycker att man borde läsa böcker..men snark... jag somnar bara.. så varför inte roa sig så att man har kul samtidigt.
Att ta en promenad är oxå ett effektivt sätt. Dock har vintern kommit till Sverige!!
Och jag känner mig redan som en stel ispinne.
Men det är inget man kan ändra på..för det tillhör vintersäsongen. *it SUCKS*
Vintern måste vara den årstid jag hatar mest! Jag och vinterkyla = OVÄNNER!
men har man levt i Sverige hela sitt liv och varit med om denna otäcka årstid så är man van, fast att man varje år önskar att man kunde bo någon annanstans!
Det känns också som att koreanskan går långsammare än vad den gjorde i Korea.
Ja menar..här kör vi 80% svenska/engelska och 20% koreanska..
medan i Korea var det 99.9% koreanska. Man känner sig lite som en hamster som springer i ett hjul..det går bara runt runt.. varken höger eller vänster eller upp eller ner!
Sorligt men sant. Men ska bita ihop denna termin och försöka hitta något annat till våren~
Tiden rullar förbi fast att man ändå står still på en och samma ruta.
Jag saknar min klass på Ewha, jag saknar mina klasskompisar...jag saknar woorijib och jag saknar mitt vardagsliv~~
Inte för att det är fel på Sverige..för det har varit kul att komma hem oxå.. men jämför jag med SU och Ewha..så önskar jag nästan att jag aldrig skulle satt min fot på SU, nu när jag vet vad som finns där borta!
___________________________________________________
I onsdags träffade jag Hea, och vi åt lunch på Kimama sushi, och pratade i flera timmar, det var kul, för det var grymt längesen som vi gjorde det~
Kimama's sushi var grymt god..och mycket bra wasabi ^^ den brände mycket skönt (O__o;) och öppnade upp alla porer..*Jag lovar~~ LOL*
Vi tog oxå en tur förbi japanska matbutiken på söder och handlade lite..
Igårkväll träffade jag Tiff och vi gick till Kimama ramen o käkade, ja vet..bara mat..men ^^
Det ar kul, då jag inte träffat Tiff på några veckor.. samt maten var super..
Ramen = LOVE. Denna gång prövade jag en enkel Sojaramen.. den var godare än jag trodde.
samt hade kimchi till...ett måste. Det enda jag saknade var gyoza, men orkade inte betala extra för det, då det var ganska dyrt. Ja menar.. i Japan kostar ramen ca 30-60 kr och gyoza mellan 15-30 kr.
Men i Sverige kostar ramen från. 100 kr och gyoza..ja..80-100kr!!
I alla fall, vi pratade en del om våra koreanska studier, framtid, jobb, koncerter, musik osv. Väldigt skönt att prata med någon som känner till ens situation och har "samma" intressen~
Sommar 2009 = DBSK, Arashi!? ^^ (dvs om vi har TUR)
____________________________________________________
Snart är årets jobbigaste dagar här..fast i år ligger alla 3 inte efter varandra i alla fall!!
1. Farsdag, 2 födelsedag, 3 namsdag!!
Ja menar..i sig är det inte jobbit utan...normalt..
Men det där med att de ligger så tätt inpå är jobbigt. mina plånbok och bankkonto gråter!
Har fixat födelsedagspresent i alla fall, köpte den i Korea..haha ^^
men farsdag o namnsdag e klurigt..då jag bara har..ehm..100 kr kvar denna månad som jag kan spendera!!
Nå väl, det löser sig nog.. pappa kan få en finare julklapp kanske (^_^)

Inte helt nöjd men...
Idag fick jag tillbax min tenta..
Är inte helt nöjd med resultatet, men ser det ändå positivt då jag bara hade 1,5 vecka att ta in information som de andra studerat i 2,5 månader..
aja ska inte klaga. Kan säga att HANJA (kinesiska tecken) är min grej denna termin!!
Tack till alla japanska serier osv (^-^;)
På onsdag är det dags att hålla ett nytt tal.. på koreanska såklart..och det ska vara i 10 minuter!
Ämnet: Kända personer.. Jag valde att skriva om きむたく（Kimura Takuya）
"Ett mycket bra val!" enligt さゆり(Sayuri) (^_^) synd att hon inte kommer att få höra det men... vi får höras av då o då... utbyte Engelska-Japanska står högt på min lista (0^^)00(^^0)
I helgen slavade jag i köket.. lagade en rad rätter som: 焼きそば, お好み焼き, 鉄板焼き, カレライス (yakisoba, okonomiyaki, teppanyaki, curryrice)... dock kände mig inte helt frisk.. småsjuk skulle jag tro!? då jag inte mådde bra alls... men antar att det beror på stress, omställning osv~~
Men är glad att jag fick me mig mamma o pappa o köpa mat på olika japanska affärer... typ 10 kg ris, grönsaker, kryddor osv (^^)
Plus! jag hittade koreansk glass i en av de japanska butikerna!! gissa hur förvånad och glad jag blev! *godare värre*
Antar att jag fortfarande saknar Asien! m(_ _)m
När vi ändå pratar om omvärlden så kan jag säga.. jag HATAR den ekonomiska krisen vi har!
Nu är den amerikanska dollarn samt. japanska yenet svinhöga (om vi jämför med siffran som vi hade för 1 månad sedan)
Så jag tycker att det är jobbigt då jag brukar beställa en hel del från olika håll... jag hoppas att den faller snart igen.. lite hemskt men...
Varför kan man inte lära sig av historien!? Ja menar..allt lutade åt att det skulle bli såhär men ändå sticker man huvudet i sanden!
Sämre tider väntar oss tror jag...så.. snart kommer tårarna rinna 24/7!!
Lovar snart kommer vi behöva ha en kärra med pengar för att köpa mjölk och bröd!!
I helgen är det dags för 嵐's Arashi Around Asia 4 koncerter i Seoul...o jag sitter i ett svinkallt Stockholm och önskar att jag vore i Seoul med en biljett i handen.
Säger bara: 翔ちゃん & 松潤!!
Dessutom släpps sjukt mycket nya skivor... varför kunde de inte släppts när jag var i Asien!? billigare och lättare att köpa på plats!
関ジャニエイト's nya låt 無責任ヒーロー är underbar.. den är så töntig att den äger! (^-^)
samt. Arashi's Beautiful days... en ny ballad..men den är 大成功
Dagens mat: やきそば
Dagens humör: upp-och-ner
Dagens låt: 嵐 - 僕わ僕のすべて

A bit late but... here it goes
I came back to Sweden a couple of days ago...
and I have been so busy, but I realised I had forgot to write about my experience in Fukuoka and my last days in Seoul...
so here it goes~~
I woke up early and checked out from my hostel in Kyoto, bought some food at the station in Kyoto, got on the train and went down to Fukuoka, it took about 4 hours~
when I arrived the rain was pouring down!! and I thought I'd be able to find the hostel easily since I had a map and all... but I was wrong!! and after a while I got angry..
1. I was soaked
2. my luggage was soaked
3. headache
So I took a taxi, then it turned out that the hostel was around the corner..lol!
Still the small taxi drive made me a bit happier~~
I checked in, then searched some stuff on the net then went out to see a rainy Fukuoka.
First I went down to Tenjin and Johnny's shop ((YEPP I went to all Johnny's shops in Japan))
it was easy to find it I went in and out within 5 min.
Then walked around a big shopping mall closeby...bought some shirts for my brother, then went to Canal city..a ever bigger and very fameous shoppingmall!
I had dinner at their Ramen stadium! ate Fukuoka styled ramen + mochi gyoza!! I LOVE MOCHI
I have to say it was nice to just be indoor since the rain made me sad!
then time got much and I was tired, so I went back home, bought some mochi icecream on the way...then prepared for the concert
When I got to the venue I was the FIRST one!
Guess if I was chocked. I mean...how often does these kind of things happen!?
Anyway..I met up with Eliza..and her friends..
saw KinKi Kids.. ((Read earlier blog story for detailed info about the concert))
Time to say goodbye~~
Woke up, packed my bags and went to Hakata station, and took the subway to the airport, very easy and cheap!
however I had to take a shuttle bus to the terminal, a VERY SLOW one!! I almost fell asleep!!
at the airport first i needed to do a security check in order to check my bags in..very weird..anyhow when it was done I could relax~
Did some final shopping then boarded the flight... The food/snack was nice... then again Asiana = 5 star!!
Back in Seoul I took the subway home, and back home I took a shower, did some laundary then went to the hairdresser and fixed my hair.. ((I cut it short, and put light colour into it...a TOTALLY new look))
in the evening I met up with Aram and Yuri in Hongdae, ate dinner (Kalguksu and Ddeokbokki) and talked..very nice..yet sad to say goodbye!
During the night I packed most of my stuff down in boxes and suitcase then went to bed!
Last day in Seoul = Woke up early, went to the post office and mailed one box home, then I went up to Ilsan and left the book for DBSK at JunSus dads pizza place, then rushed back home ((which took 1,5 hours)) met Sayuri really quick...and said goodbye..something I didnt want to but~~
She also gave me a very nice farwell gift and a small letter~ *I miss her so.. my best friend!*
We'll meet next year for sure!?!
Then back home, packed 2 other boxes and sent those home to Sweden too... then I met up with HeeJung onni and had dinner, did some shopping, stickerphotos etc!
We had Shabu shabu for dinner..hehe
however at the restaurant I smashed my head into the door...I can say even though 4 days has passed my head still hurts!!
At 11pm we said our goodbyes for this time, I came home packed and the went to bed...
Woke up at 5 am..checked my mail, got dressed and left woorijib. took the airportbus out to Incheon airport..check my bags in... ate my last Baskin Robbins icecream for this time and went through the security check..
I didnt sleep on my way back..instead I watched 3 movies, among them Matsujuns movie.. He's MAXIMUM H O T ! ! (0^__^)00(^__^0), ate non eatable food...and cried! (_ _;)
Today's mood: mixed
Today's food: Shabu shabu

KinKi you~
KinKi Kids and YOU... or KinKi you! (^0^)
I saw KinKi Kids in Fukuoka today...It was totally AWSOME!
I woke early in order to go to the venue and get a nice spot...to buy the goods..
However when I reached the stadium it was empty..I was like..
Where are all the other KinKi fans?
After around 15 min other fans started to arrive..still I was in a small chock..how could I be the first one...?!
The rain was pouring down..at least we all were standing under a roof, but still it was kinda cold~
The later the time went the more people arrived...After 4,5 hours the opened and we could buy our goods~
I bought:
Koichi Uchiwa,
Tsuyoshi Uchiwa,
KinKi original photoset,
Koichi live photoset,
Limited Towel
pamphlet~
Total 5800 yen!
I wanted two towels but then I thought of my economy and felt I might want to buy some stuff when I go back to Korea instead
I got soaked when I bought my goods since I wasnt allowed to have my umbrella!
Afterwards I went back to my hostel and left all the goods, beside from the Ko-chan uchiwa!
At 4.30pm I went back to the Arena...it was FULL of people..I was amazed..haha!((That was how I thought it would have looked in the morning.. ^^))
I went in, got my seat... in the middle in the back so to say..really close (3 rows) away from the small stage!!and waited..then some Japanese people next to me asked me if I had seen KinKi before..and I said it was my first time and that I was from Sweden, so it's difficult to get tickets.
Then suddenly the arena became dark and Ko-chan and Tsuyoshi started to sing "愛のかたまり"..acapella..then they entered the stage..It was "SUGOI"
愛のかたまり is one of my absolute fave songs!!But when they entered the stage I was like.. Tsuyoshi doesnt look to well..is he gonna be alright? ((I know what happened to him on stage in Niigata))
And.. Ko-chan..why havent u styled your hair? ((it isnt like u have to do it yourself..lol)) Somehow I wasnt surprised because he is DOMOTO Koichi!! (^__^)
During the opening MC..Ko-chan started with "Hisashiburidesu"..and the crowed went "Huh?!"
kinda cute..
and Tsuyoshi said he had catched a cold, which you could hear...poor guy, still he performed a great concert~
that was the reason why he didnt look too well~

The songs was good... however I missed "Harmony of December" otherwise it was PERFECT!
And I think both Tsuyoshi and Ko-chan saw my little note "KinKi Kids.. come to SWEDEN!" At least they looked my way when they were passing by 2 times each.. (^__^)
I really enjoyed this concert.. my first KinKi concert..but also because Ko-chan and Tsuyoshi seemed to enjoy it too!
I loved their jokes...and comments
Tsuyoshi playing the piano, guitar, making weird sounds with his mouth, his story about his taxi ride...
and: "Do you want beef or chicken?"
"Chicken"
Also..how chinese people sound..lol (^__^)
"Excause me..but I'm JAPANESE"... (^-^;)v
Ko-chans various dancing..he makes me laugh so much.. that's why I love him (^__^)
Ko-chan..I love you (^0^)
Ko-chan falling to the floor when trying to show how it can go if you are not careful when you walk home at night (^0^)
Also he had some Oji moments... (^__^)
also him getting stuck on stage..lol...so cute..
KOICHI..SAN!! (^0^;)
Their sexy version of Hey!みんな元気かい?.. = LOVE ^^
Also fans kept calling Ko-chan "hage" (bald)
And he said* plz can u stop calling me that... ((naw poor guy.. still he is a Oji!))
a huge + was to see MA (Musical Academy).. or 2 out of 3. My fave, 屋良朝幸(Yara Tomoyuki) was missing (_ _) but he is busy with his upcoming musical, however 米花剛史 (Yonehana Tsuyoshi) and 町田慎吾(Machida Shingo) was great ^^

I saw KinKi Kids in Fukuoka today...It was totally AWSOME!
I woke early in order to go to the venue and get a nice spot...to buy the goods..
However when I reached the stadium it was empty..I was like..
Where are all the other KinKi fans?
After around 15 min other fans started to arrive..still I was in a small chock..how could I be the first one...?!
The rain was pouring down..at least we all were standing under a roof, but still it was kinda cold~
The later the time went the more people arrived...After 4,5 hours the opened and we could buy our goods~
I bought:
Koichi Uchiwa,
Tsuyoshi Uchiwa,
KinKi original photoset,
Koichi live photoset,
Limited Towel
pamphlet~
Total 5800 yen!
I wanted two towels but then I thought of my economy and felt I might want to buy some stuff when I go back to Korea instead
I got soaked when I bought my goods since I wasnt allowed to have my umbrella!
Afterwards I went back to my hostel and left all the goods, beside from the Ko-chan uchiwa!
At 4.30pm I went back to the Arena...it was FULL of people..I was amazed..haha!((That was how I thought it would have looked in the morning.. ^^))
I went in, got my seat... in the middle in the back so to say..really close (3 rows) away from the small stage!!and waited..then some Japanese people next to me asked me if I had seen KinKi before..and I said it was my first time and that I was from Sweden, so it's difficult to get tickets.
Then suddenly the arena became dark and Ko-chan and Tsuyoshi started to sing "愛のかたまり"..acapella..then they entered the stage..It was "SUGOI"
愛のかたまり is one of my absolute fave songs!!But when they entered the stage I was like.. Tsuyoshi doesnt look to well..is he gonna be alright? ((I know what happened to him on stage in Niigata))
And.. Ko-chan..why havent u styled your hair? ((it isnt like u have to do it yourself..lol)) Somehow I wasnt surprised because he is DOMOTO Koichi!! (^__^)

Finding Johnny's (JE) shops in Japan
I know there are many fans out there who wants to visit a JE shop when they are going to Japan.
I have been lucky enough to go to all of them at different occations... And for you who needs more info on how to get there and how to buy items inside... here is some info (^^)
My experience from 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2013 at different stores..see each individual for info..
I have posted more info about the Fukuoka one as I think more people have posted about the other three.
1. Harajuku
2. Nagoya
3. Osaka
4. Fukuoka
NON of the stores ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS..so bring CASH!
1. HARAJUKU. 原宿 (はらじゅく)
Open 10:00am～7:00pm
(However to get in, you need to be there maybe 8 am or smth to get a ticket if you go there on a weekend or holiday)
This is the shop where most people go to I'd say after all it's TOKYO.
it is always crowded on weekends and you have to wait for a very long time..for me when I visited the place the very first time in 2008...it took 3 hours to pay (and 20 min to choose) so total 3hours and 20 min!!!
To be able to even enter the store in Harajuku on a weekend or holiday you need to be there really early in the morning to get a ticket! otherwise you won't get it!
On the ticket there should be a number which says which hour you are able to enter.
In Harajuku there are two floors, they have changed it since of 2011. Before they had photos both up-and downstairs, like two shops. Now it's all located downstairs and you pay upstairs.
Remember.. this can take a whole day if you go on a weekend!
1. Be there early to get the entry ticket.
2. Entertain yourself for some hours and then return at the designated time (Check the ticket!!) IF you are lucky you might get in EARLIER..if NOT you might get in LATER.
IF YOU HAVE A TICKET and get in at 6.45 pm DON'T WORRY.. YOU'LL be able to buy the things they want!!
3. Choose your merchandise.
4. Line up and pay. ((Bring something to eat or drink (not a picknic though..haha) but this will take a while!!))
5. Come out happy and surprised to see the world again!! (I have to say the air ran out in the shop..so it made me dizzy)
As for weekdays, and non-holidays like summer vacation or national holidays... please read my experience further down.
First time I visited I had accompany who knew the shop and how to do it all so I just followed... but if you are not that lucky..
Go to Johnny's net and print out the map they have there!
(or here is a link Johnny's net - Harajuku map )
AND if you get lost, show someone the map...however Japanese maps and western maps are not the same so some people will maybe not be able to help.
However many people knows about Johnny's so if you are close...it should not be too much of a problem!
Easy way to get there.
Take the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line (C-04),Tokyo Metro Ginza Line (G-02), Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line (Z-02) to Omotesandō Station (表参道駅) - Use Exit 3, OR the JR line (山手線 Yamanote line) to Harajuku station and use any exit, Omotesando Exit is a few hundred meters closer..
When you walk towards the exit at JR Harajuku Omotesando, there's usually also an add for Johnny's shop or other JE related stuff.
Cross the road and walk to the right, then you will see a small park...and a overpass.
Then on the left side there are a small street, which you should go into...and walk maybe 200 meters then you have Johnny's shop. You can't miss it! However the street is narrow so do not get scared that it is the wrong one!
Johnny-san obviously likes to be a bit secret!
In order to get a ticket you should stop at the park with the overpass, look for girls or guys with a shirt or parka with the Johnny's logo.
For you who doesnt know Japanese.. just say "Johnny's Ticket please" or just "Ticket" and they will understand!!
People line up before opening hours, so if you go there on a weekend..be on time because they give out the tickets quite fast!!
However there are loads to see around in Harajuku, shopping - clothes, various goods and both Official and NON officail Johnnys goods - photos, uchiwas etc., and also Shinjuku and Shibuya is closeby so if you feel like it you can visit Johnny's family club or go shopping in 109 or something.
My experience
September 2008
The staff was VERY slow..and it took a LOOOONG time...
I wanted to leave about 1000 times...because there was no air left so I couldnt breath...
However I sticked by...
They also messed up some photos so I got some I didn't want (but I didn't notice until I got home and I couldnt go back since it was so late.. SO CHECK really quick while You PAY for be very careful when writing so that they don't mix up your numbers!!)
It took around 3,5 hours in total to be able to pay!! and a whole day to be able to get in.
(I went there on a public holiday so I guess that was why it was so crowded, normally schools has started so it should have been easier but...I guess I have myself to blame)
February 2010
Went on a Saturday morning, got there around 9.30.. late I know, still I got a ticket for 10.00!!
Took about 1 hour something in total... got everything I wanted, this time all photos were correct!
Quick for Harajuku I suppose!
I also went back 1 before I left and bought some photos for some friends, came in the morning too.. and it took maybe 30 min, but then again I didnt buy much and didnt want to spend to much time inside.
I went to the UPSTAIRS shop both times.
May 2010
Went there on a weekday.. I brought my mum along, since she hasnt been to Japan since 1986 and she didnt want to be left alone, since she neither speaks a word of Japanese or knew where she was, she just followed me ^^
Anyway, we got there quite early.. and got a ticket for 10.30
OMG..it was so many people inside!! They even pushed me into the wall of all the photos!!all people could see were probably my face touching the "photos"
Still they kept on pushing! 97% of all customer wanted Arashi photos, just like me, however the rest of the shop was quite empty :P
My mum had enough after 5 min, however the JE staff was very nice to her, well..she has Swedish looks and is a bit older so I suppose that was the reason why ^^ I mean she could walk in and out of the shop as she pleased!!! That doesnt apply to ASIAN buyers..or younger population I suppose.
I went to the UPSTAIRS shop.
August 2011
I went passed when shopping in Harajuku, to my surprise I could walk straight in!
However they have totally changed it!
First when you come, you go down! First they have a purikura machine where you can take photos with your fave JE boys. Then photo selection, all JE bands. After doing that you walk upstairs to pay, Upstairs they also sell other stuff as pillow case, ic card case, photo album etc.
June 2013
I went passed on a weekday (Friday afternoon). I could walk in and out. Just like last time, you choose ur photos downstairs, you can take purikura.. then buy some other goods and pay upstairs.
December 2013
I went passed on a Monday, after Arashi's Tokyo Dome concert. On the weekend before, when we passed by it was filled of Arashi fans!
Anyway, Downstairs it was quite easy to choose pictures, however I wasn't too much of a fan that they had mixed the Arashi photos in two different sections. And the line to pay began downstairs and a JE staff sent us up 3-and-3. Upstairs too we had to wait for quite some time, upstairs they also sold the usual stuff, nothing related to Arashi however.
December 2014
Passed by just to show my dad while visiting Tokyo. He's now also a JE fan however because of the holiday season I didn't feel like lining up. It was too crowded.
May 2015
Passed by on a weekday, but it was during GOLDEN week. One of the busiest holidays in Japan.
Passed by to show my friend whom I brought with me to Japan! Her very first time. She couldn't believe the craze ^^ Anyway we did not enter because it was too crowded!
2. Nagoya 名古屋 (なごや)
Open: 10.30 am - 6.30 pm
2014-01-10 ACCORDING TO INFO.. THE NAGOYA SHOP HAS MOVED LOCATION!!
So this cannot be used as guidance
Edit 2014-04-19: NEW Address
Address: Nakatou Marunochi Building 1F, 3-17-6., Marunochi, Naka-Ku, Nagoya, 460-0002.
How to get there: Subway Meijiro or Sakura Dori Line, Get off at Hisaya-Odori Station.
It's a 4 min walk from exit 1, Otsu-dori (street)
Go here to get a MAP in English
From Nagoya station, by foot it takes around 40 min (However I'm a REALLY fast walker so it maybe takes 1 hour at least for others)
I asked at the information desk at the Central station how to get there..so either underground or walk...
If you dont feel like walking, then take the YELLOW - (鉄東山線 Higashiyama underground line) to Sakae Station (新栄町駅), which are 3 stops from Nagoya Station.
Then ask show them the map of Johnny's and they will probably direct you.
To walk is very easy too... it is straight all the way..almost! however the weather was bad so it wasnt too much fun, however I got to see a bit of Nagoya city.
The shop is on the second floor, once you enter turn left and walk up the stairs (it's not a beautiful buildning inside..haha but I promise..Johnny's shop is on the 2nd floor and you will probably hear some Johnny's music!)
Map for JE store (it's all in Japanese) http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/jshop/map/nagoya.html
My experience
September 2008
The stores location is a bit off..so to say!!
However I liked Nagoya, in and out in 5-10 min! They also showed all photos and asked if they were the right ones.. checked my paper back and forth, just to see if they had made any mistakes etc.
No ques and not so many people, maybe 5 more! which was GREAT!! However I was there maybe at 2pm on a weekday..so I guess people had classes etc!
When I paid they also asked if I wanted something else...such as photoalbums, concert goods(mainly uchiwas..but they might have some leftovers).. they also had the 2008-2009 calendars..with TxT, NEWS, KJ8 and Jr's
3. Osaka 大阪 (おおさか)
Open 10.30 am -6.30 (weekdays)
10.00am - 7pm (weekends)
It is located in the city center, which is called Shinsaibashi.Take the underground line called Midosuji (鉄御堂筋線) to the Shinsaibashi station (心斎橋駅). use exit 8, it is the closest one. You should have the Nikko Hotel on your left and the Midosuji Blvd (the main traffic road) on your right. Walk straight until you see an intersection called Midosuji Unagidani. turn left when you see it. Walk down the street (which is kind of narrow)..around 2 blocks.
When you see a buildning called "DAIBI" then Johnny's shop should be to the left!
Map for Osaka http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/jshop/map/osaka.html
As a end of my Johnny's travel in Osaka I went to the Okonomiyaki place KanJani8 went 2! It is located in Namba..!
The okonomiyaki was DAISEIKO!!!! Maximum umai!! (^__^)
There are always a lot of people there..so be there early!!!
They also have photos etc of KJ8!! (^__^)
My experience
September 2008
A bit tricky to find but not impossible, but it wasn't located on the main street so to say!!
JE likes to hide..lol
Also the shop in Osaka was very quick.. they also showed all photos and asked if I wanted photoalbums etc. A nice experience.
August 2011
We could walk straight in, the photos of Arashi were abit here and there, so I got confused, because they had same photos on different places, so I had to be careful with the numbers.
It was easy to pay and they checked the photos with me...Great service
June 2013
Walked straight in, Wednesday afternoon, not so many people.. they didn't have a lot of other goods, They changed photoalbums to a JE one instead of the old ones (one per group).
I chose my photos quickly and paid. Seems like Kis-My-Ft2 was most popular ^^
4. Fukuoka 福岡 (ふくおか)Open 10.30am - 6.30pm
I took the 100yen bus from Hakata station to busstop "Tenjin Fukubiru Mae" then walked from there, it takes around 5-7 min to walk to Johnnys shop from there.
However you can also take the underground - Kuukou line (空港) to Tenjin station (天神駅) then walk. (use exit West 1,(西1出口) ) Follow the Tenjin Chika Machi (天神地下街) to the Showa Doori area (昭和通り)
If you take the bus..when go come off please walk backwards (the way the bus came from)
When you reach the intersection cross it and walk to the right.
You should have the road on the RIGHT and see this infront of you..When you see this huge shopping mall you are close..
When you see this school uniform shop and Shell gasstop turn left and keep on walking..the shop is on the very same road so just keep on walking until you see it! (it is maybe 30 meters - very close)
Map to Fukuoka branch http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/jshop/map/fukuoka.html
My experience
September 2008
The shop was very easy to find!!
No waiting or lines at all..
It went very fast and the staff was very polite and asked if I wanted some uchiwas, concert goods, and also if the photos was the right ones etc.
They showed them in groups.. first all "Arashi" then all "KinKi" etc. very nice! they also check my form so I could see it was as many as I wanted.
I liked Fukuoka the best, however it's far away, but if you are heading for Kyushu..it's worth to visit!
The paper you have to fill in at the shop!
Click on them to get a better view.. there are also notes on them on how to fill them in etc
YOU need one for every group/event..
You do not need to write in Japanese, you can spell ARASHI..and they get it!
However every phot has a number and you write a number in the blank next to the number. 1 - if you want one. 2 - if you want two..etc you get what I'm saying right!?
There are one that says 1-800 and one that says 801~
PLEASE NOTE: sometimes 1-800 is enough..all groups doesnt have over 800 and some start on 800...so please look at the photos, also if possible take a look at all photos right after you come out..if they made a mistake it's easier to fix it on the spot..to fix it later will be impossible!! Time is money~~
The paper has two sides..
Please write as CLEAR as possible, otherwise you might end up with the wrong photos!!
Each photo cost 150 yen (1800 won, 1,5 USD, around 8,5 SEK (Swedish krona))
The name of the group is obvious. But there are some separate photos grouped according to concert/program venue, such as "Countdown", "Dream Boys". On the wall, by each group's/concert set of photos, you will see the title that should be copied.
For every topic... such was GROUP, Concerts, Musicals etc..
it says on the top which one they belong to..and write it corrct!!
Group: Arashi, NEWS, KAT-TUN, Tackey & Tsubasa, KinKi Kids, TOKIO, Kanjani8, HEY SAY JUMP, V6, Jr's, Kis-My-Ft2~
Concert, musical, other: Countdown, Shock, Dream boys
Here you fill in what you want, uchiwa, photoalbum etc.(HOWEVER you can also just tell them when you buy, everything is displayed and if they dont understand what you mean just point and say something simple... like. Matsumoto Jun Uchiwa one... and NOT I'd like a uchiwa with Matsujun, then they probably wont understand you... my advice keep it as simple as possible)
I have been lucky enough to go to all of them at different occations... And for you who needs more info on how to get there and how to buy items inside... here is some info (^^)
My experience from 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2013 at different stores..see each individual for info..

First when you come, you go down! First they have a purikura machine where you can take photos with your fave JE boys. Then photo selection, all JE bands. After doing that you walk upstairs to pay, Upstairs they also sell other stuff as pillow case, ic card case, photo album etc.
June 2013
I went passed on a weekday (Friday afternoon). I could walk in and out. Just like last time, you choose ur photos downstairs, you can take purikura.. then buy some other goods and pay upstairs.
December 2013
I went passed on a Monday, after Arashi's Tokyo Dome concert. On the weekend before, when we passed by it was filled of Arashi fans!
Anyway, Downstairs it was quite easy to choose pictures, however I wasn't too much of a fan that they had mixed the Arashi photos in two different sections. And the line to pay began downstairs and a JE staff sent us up 3-and-3. Upstairs too we had to wait for quite some time, upstairs they also sold the usual stuff, nothing related to Arashi however.
December 2014
Passed by just to show my dad while visiting Tokyo. He's now also a JE fan however because of the holiday season I didn't feel like lining up. It was too crowded.
May 2015
Passed by on a weekday, but it was during GOLDEN week. One of the busiest holidays in Japan.
Passed by to show my friend whom I brought with me to Japan! Her very first time. She couldn't believe the craze ^^ Anyway we did not enter because it was too crowded!
2. Nagoya 名古屋 (なごや)
Open: 10.30 am - 6.30 pm
2014-01-10 ACCORDING TO INFO.. THE NAGOYA SHOP HAS MOVED LOCATION!!
So this cannot be used as guidance
Edit 2014-04-19: NEW Address
Address: Nakatou Marunochi Building 1F, 3-17-6., Marunochi, Naka-Ku, Nagoya, 460-0002.
How to get there: Subway Meijiro or Sakura Dori Line, Get off at Hisaya-Odori Station.
It's a 4 min walk from exit 1, Otsu-dori (street)
Go here to get a MAP in English
From Nagoya station, by foot it takes around 40 min (However I'm a REALLY fast walker so it maybe takes 1 hour at least for others)
I asked at the information desk at the Central station how to get there..so either underground or walk...
If you dont feel like walking, then take the YELLOW - (鉄東山線 Higashiyama underground line) to Sakae Station (新栄町駅), which are 3 stops from Nagoya Station.
Then ask show them the map of Johnny's and they will probably direct you.
To walk is very easy too... it is straight all the way..almost! however the weather was bad so it wasnt too much fun, however I got to see a bit of Nagoya city.
The shop is on the second floor, once you enter turn left and walk up the stairs (it's not a beautiful buildning inside..haha but I promise..Johnny's shop is on the 2nd floor and you will probably hear some Johnny's music!)
Map for JE store (it's all in Japanese) http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/jshop/map/nagoya.html
My experience
September 2008
The stores location is a bit off..so to say!!
However I liked Nagoya, in and out in 5-10 min! They also showed all photos and asked if they were the right ones.. checked my paper back and forth, just to see if they had made any mistakes etc.
No ques and not so many people, maybe 5 more! which was GREAT!! However I was there maybe at 2pm on a weekday..so I guess people had classes etc!
When I paid they also asked if I wanted something else...such as photoalbums, concert goods(mainly uchiwas..but they might have some leftovers).. they also had the 2008-2009 calendars..with TxT, NEWS, KJ8 and Jr's
3. Osaka 大阪 (おおさか)
Open 10.30 am -6.30 (weekdays)
It is located in the city center, which is called Shinsaibashi.Take the underground line called Midosuji (鉄御堂筋線) to the Shinsaibashi station (心斎橋駅). use exit 8, it is the closest one. You should have the Nikko Hotel on your left and the Midosuji Blvd (the main traffic road) on your right. Walk straight until you see an intersection called Midosuji Unagidani. turn left when you see it. Walk down the street (which is kind of narrow)..around 2 blocks.
When you see a buildning called "DAIBI" then Johnny's shop should be to the left!
Map for Osaka http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/jshop/map/osaka.html
As a end of my Johnny's travel in Osaka I went to the Okonomiyaki place KanJani8 went 2! It is located in Namba..!
The okonomiyaki was DAISEIKO!!!! Maximum umai!! (^__^)
There are always a lot of people there..so be there early!!!
They also have photos etc of KJ8!! (^__^)
My experience
September 2008
A bit tricky to find but not impossible, but it wasn't located on the main street so to say!!
JE likes to hide..lol
Also the shop in Osaka was very quick.. they also showed all photos and asked if I wanted photoalbums etc. A nice experience.
August 2011
We could walk straight in, the photos of Arashi were abit here and there, so I got confused, because they had same photos on different places, so I had to be careful with the numbers.
It was easy to pay and they checked the photos with me...Great service
June 2013
Walked straight in, Wednesday afternoon, not so many people.. they didn't have a lot of other goods, They changed photoalbums to a JE one instead of the old ones (one per group).
I chose my photos quickly and paid. Seems like Kis-My-Ft2 was most popular ^^
4. Fukuoka 福岡 (ふくおか)Open 10.30am - 6.30pm
I took the 100yen bus from Hakata station to busstop "Tenjin Fukubiru Mae" then walked from there, it takes around 5-7 min to walk to Johnnys shop from there.
However you can also take the underground - Kuukou line (空港) to Tenjin station (天神駅) then walk. (use exit West 1,(西1出口) ) Follow the Tenjin Chika Machi (天神地下街) to the Showa Doori area (昭和通り)
If you take the bus..when go come off please walk backwards (the way the bus came from)
When you reach the intersection cross it and walk to the right.
You should have the road on the RIGHT and see this infront of you..When you see this huge shopping mall you are close..
Just walk up the stairs and enter the building.
Map to Fukuoka branch http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/jshop/map/fukuoka.html
My experience
September 2008
The shop was very easy to find!!
No waiting or lines at all..
It went very fast and the staff was very polite and asked if I wanted some uchiwas, concert goods, and also if the photos was the right ones etc.
They showed them in groups.. first all "Arashi" then all "KinKi" etc. very nice! they also check my form so I could see it was as many as I wanted.
I liked Fukuoka the best, however it's far away, but if you are heading for Kyushu..it's worth to visit!
The paper you have to fill in at the shop!
Click on them to get a better view.. there are also notes on them on how to fill them in etc
YOU need one for every group/event..
You do not need to write in Japanese, you can spell ARASHI..and they get it!
However every phot has a number and you write a number in the blank next to the number. 1 - if you want one. 2 - if you want two..etc you get what I'm saying right!?
There are one that says 1-800 and one that says 801~
PLEASE NOTE: sometimes 1-800 is enough..all groups doesnt have over 800 and some start on 800...so please look at the photos, also if possible take a look at all photos right after you come out..if they made a mistake it's easier to fix it on the spot..to fix it later will be impossible!! Time is money~~
The paper has two sides..
Please write as CLEAR as possible, otherwise you might end up with the wrong photos!!
Each photo cost 150 yen (1800 won, 1,5 USD, around 8,5 SEK (Swedish krona))
The name of the group is obvious. But there are some separate photos grouped according to concert/program venue, such as "Countdown", "Dream Boys". On the wall, by each group's/concert set of photos, you will see the title that should be copied.
For every topic... such was GROUP, Concerts, Musicals etc..
it says on the top which one they belong to..and write it corrct!!
Group: Arashi, NEWS, KAT-TUN, Tackey & Tsubasa, KinKi Kids, TOKIO, Kanjani8, HEY SAY JUMP, V6, Jr's, Kis-My-Ft2~
Concert, musical, other: Countdown, Shock, Dream boys
Here you fill in what you want, uchiwa, photoalbum etc.(HOWEVER you can also just tell them when you buy, everything is displayed and if they dont understand what you mean just point and say something simple... like. Matsumoto Jun Uchiwa one... and NOT I'd like a uchiwa with Matsujun, then they probably wont understand you... my advice keep it as simple as possible)
HAVE FUN going to Johnny's!! (^0^)

福岡(Fukuoka)
Fukuoka(福岡)
Vaknade kl 7, åt frukost, packade ihop mina saker, kollade mailen och sedan tog jag mig till Kyoto station och hoppade på mitt shinkansen tåg mot mitt sista stop..Fukuoka!
Det tog omkring 4 timmar... åkte förbi en hel del städer och fina utsikter, allt passerade snabbt förbi en dock (shinkansen är grymt snabb..typ X6000!? ^^; )
Kom fram till ett regnigt Fukuoka, gick till informationsbyrån och frågade om vägen till mitt vandrarhem...fick en karta, samt en usel förklaring, de som jobbade där var inte så trevliga!
Trodde att det skulle vara lätt men hade FEL..det kan vara för att jag råkade gå lite fel~ men men..blev bara surare o surare då regnet öste ner över mig och min packning lika så. Tillslut gick jag ut på huvudgatan och tog en taxi... stakade fram några ord på japanska o visade min halvtrasiga karta (papper o vatten är inte kompisar!)
Och så visade det sig att vandrarhemmet låg ca 3min därifrån, dvs resan blev inte lång, men den var värd 40 kr för att komma undan regnet för en stund.
Checkade in...gick upp o checkade datorn med lite info över stan, la in sakerna på rummet och gick tillbax till 博多(Hakata) station.
Ännu en gång gick jag till informationen för att få reda på vilka bussar, t-bana man kunde ta.
Tog 100yen bussen till Tenjin Fukubiru mae och sedan gick i kanske 5 min sedan var jag vid Japans sista Johnny's shop.. ((I made it to all Johnny's shops in Japan..haha)) inte för att jag egentligen behövde köpa något, men det handlade mer om erfarenheten!
Det är inte så många som varit dit...de flesta brukar ta sig till 大阪,名古屋,原宿(Osaka, Nagoya och Harajuku.)
Efteråt hamnade jag på ett shoppingmall i närheten, och köpte lite saker till min bror... sedan tog jag bussen till Canal City..ett SJUKT stort shopping center i Fukuoka.
Som sagt hade inga direkta shoppingpengar, men åkte dit för att gå på Ramen stadium! (^_^)
Till middag blev det Hakata styled ramen + mochigyoza!! *MAXIMUM UMAI* speciellet gyozan!
Var lagom trött efter den långa dagen..och tog bussen hem~
På vägen hem stannade jag förbi Lawson och köpte mochiglass som jag sedan la i frysen..
Resten av kvällen spenderade jag vid datan o tvn.. kollade in Arashi no shikudai-kun!
Arashi never fail to make me laugh!!
Nästa morgon...Sep 30.. vilket betyder KINKI KIDS koncert!!!
på väg till arenan köpte jag lite frukost... o tänkte..okej klockan är 8.30 men så många fans kan ju inte vara där...eller!?
När jag kom ut till Marinmese var 0 människor där!! Jag började fundera om jag kommit fel..men nej... det vara bara att jag var första fanet där! runt kl 9. kom runt 10 andra, jag mötte oxå upp Eliza, en chatkompis från Singapore..+ träffade hennes kompisar!...och vid 12 var drygt 200 pers där..sedan växte bara kön.
Regnet öste ner över oss, en tyfon drog in över oss, fast vid arenan fanns tak så vi blev inte blöta men det var svinkallt!!
Kl 13.00 började fick vi veta att vi skulle ställa oss upp och börja gå mot concert goodsen.. ett steg närmre..o blodtrycket började stiga!! ett steg närmre 光ちゃん(Ko-chan) (0^^)00(^^0)
Efter att ha fått mina goods kom folk fram o ville sälja biljetter till mig..men sa då på engelska då jag inte har en aning hur man säger att jag redan har en biljett på japanska...o då frågade de såklart vartifrån jag kom, och då svarade jag Sverige.
Då vände sig 3 personer sig om och bara stirrade! Japp..Apa i bur!
o de frågade massa saker, min ålder, varför jag gillade KinKi Kids, om jag gillade Koichi eller Tsuyshi bäst osv.
Efteråt åkte jag hem och lämnade en del av mina goods, utom uchiwan med Koichi..
Åt sukiyaki till lunch..och sedan drog tillbax till arenan och köade för att komma in i arenan.
Det var SJUKT mycket folk där!!
Hittade min plats..o väntade på att koncerten skulle börja.
Den var 大成功! (läs mer i min KinKi You review)
Efter koncerten sålde de massa skivor o dvd-filmer osv.. men jag hade 0 kontanter o kunde inte köpa :( Dock hade de några skivor som jag ville ha... Limited Versions...
men fick hoppa det då jag inte hade cash!
Kom hem..packade, åt middag (cupramen - samma som Kimura Takuya gör reklam för) och pratade med min japanska rumskompis på vandrarhemmet... ^^
Nästa morgoen checkade jag ut...och tog tunnelbanan ut till Fukuoka intl. Airport...och flög "hem" till Korea.
Today's mood: HATE the rain!! in KinKi You heaven ^^;
Today's food: Cupramen
Today's song: NEWS - Happy Birthday
京都(Kyoto)
Woke up quite early, packed my bags atre breakfast at the hostel...
it didnt taste so good but better then nothing I suppose~ checked out and went to the station and took my train to 京都 (Kyoto)...It took around 30 min with shinkansen~
Once again I took out my map and guidebook Mr. Kondou bought for me.. He had also pointed out which way to go..
I took the underground, not to difficult, since it only had 2 lines ^^
My hostel was located on the mainroad in Higashiyama. I couldnt check in since they only had certain time for it..but I could leave my bags there.. then I walked around the area...found loads of temples and shires..!! too many (^0^;)
Then I had lunch..and then I took a local bus down to Kyoto station... where also Kyoto Tower was located. The view was nice but I bet it would look even better in the evening...
Afterwards I took another local bus to 嵐山(arashiyama).. I had to change in 大宮(Ohmiya) (^0^) guess who came across my mind!!
嵐山 was really beautiful~ but freaking cold! I only had a t-shirt and shortpants! anyway I walked alot in order to keep warm... after a few hours I took a bus back to the city, walked a bit then rushed home to check in!
I came back at 19.29 and the checkin closed at 19.30...LUCKY me ^^
After checkin I went out and had dinner..ramen..at a really small place..but the taste was okay ^^
Next morning..
I woke up at 6.30! Dont ask why? maybe because of my room mates??
Anyway took it easy then headed out at 8.30
Went to the temples where they shooted Hana yori dango Final~ ^^ (They are called 清水寺 and 東福寺 Kiyomizudera, Tofukuji)
It was quite close to where I lived..or maybe not..or maybe..haha..I donno...I walked alot anyhow~
The second place was the best.. I think they shooted most things from there because I could recognize many things!!
both of the temples was very nice anyway!! and loads of tourists~ TOO many..haha ^^
Around 2 pm I got tired and went into the city center, and had lunch.. Kimchi Gyudon.. ^^
Then I did some small shopping - bought some magazines ((Oriconstyle, Popolo..and AnAn. - Where they had their official ranking of hottest man of Japan - Kimutaku was NO 1 ofcourse! and Matsujun as no. 4 ^^ ... KimuTaku has been voted no 1 for the past 15 years or smth~ no surprise...cause he is H O T!)) and I also bought a photobook with 嵐 a new photobook I havent seen anywhere else..either on the net or stores..and it only costed 1299 yen~ ((Release date: 9/25)) It was loads of recent photos in it... that was why I bought it... they also had the new books with Ohno and Matsujun but I have already ordered the one with Jun in Korea..and Ohno isnt my fave so I didnt buy his...
And in that bookstore it is the only bookstore where I have seen those books~~
and I'm currently waiting for Sho's photobook... he is my ichiban ^^
Back to the shopping streets... I bought a vest... a Japanese new fashion thing ^^
Then I headed home.. ate Katsurice in the local area...then had a bath at home ((Japanese style)) and watched some tv and went to bed.
Tomorrow = Monday = Go to Fukuoka!
Today's mood: Happy
Today's song: Arashi - Step and Go ((The DoM song..hahaha))
Kyoto food: Ramen, Crocket and Katsurice

大阪(Osaka)
Thursday
Time to leave Tokyo for this time..
In the morning, I packed the last things down and I got a big suitcase from Takako and Mitsuo since I had so many things... I have to say.. my boots, Yukata and various gifts took most place!
Before we left the house we took some photos outside.. nice memory!
We headed for Tokyo station, where me and Takako also met up with Yuko who wanted to say goodbye, so sweet..she came down from Saitama and all!!
I got my ticket for Nagoya.. and Takako and Yuko went with me up on the platform, but they didnt need too.. seriously..in Japan you need to pay for entering the station platforms... never seen that before! not so much but still..money is money~
Yuko had bought me a lunch pack, with Donkatsu sandwiches and some tea..she also asked if I wanted some sweets but I said it was enough.. the food was all I needed.
Then my Shinkansen - ひかり(Hikari) train arrived~
Gave both Takako and Yuko big hugs and said farwell for this time~~
It was good that I got a window seat, so that I could see Japan "flashing" by~
Well in Nagoya I was quite tired and the weather was bad, so I went to the information and asked how to get to Johnnys shop..
It took maybe 40 min to walk from the station but it was very easy~
Still the weather really sucked!
Got to Johnnys shop...i went in and out in 5 min!! no waiting time at all!! unlike Harajuku!!
I bought maybe 10 photos and a Kimura Takuya uchiwa from SMAP's new tour~~
Then I walked back to the station and took a train to 大阪(Osaka)
Found my hostel quite easy, thanks to Mitsuo-san..he had made a good map ^^
The hostel was very nice..since it's a hostel.. and I had to share room with 4 other people but that was fine... ^^
Afterwards I went in to the city, to Namba...and had dinner.. looked in some shops..then headed back home.
One funny surprise was the special underground car FOR WOMEN ONLY..hmm... wonder why it's needed?? didnt see any of those in Tokyo ^^
was quite tired and wanted just to sleep so after a nice cup of tea I fell asleep~
Next morning.. time for sightseeing...at least some..since the weather sucked.. ONCE again!
First I bought some various kind of mochis for breakfast..then I went to Osaka castle, it was really nice and up high..walked loads~
Then I was too tired and took the JR line back into the city..and visted Johnny's shop..((once again..haha..but I want to see them all since I have the chance))
I bought a V6 photo album and a few photos~
Then I went back to my hostel, changed and went to Shin Osaka Station and met Dara~
We went to Namba, took some stickerphotos, did some shopping around the major shopping streets then had dinner at the Okonomiyaki place where Kanjani8 once went to ^^
The Okonomiyaki was GOLD!!
Afterwards some more shopping, then time got much and we said good bye and I headed home..

Saturday, 27 September 2008
I'm in Japan
So I havent been able to write for quite some time.. mostly because I have been so busy..
Exams, then I took off and went to Japan.
Sep 20-25 I stayed in 東京(Tokyo).
At Takako and Mitsuo Kondo's place.. a really nice house in Ookayama, in Meguro-Ku in Tokyo.
Yuko and her husband Susumu picked me up from Narita Airport... thanks for that.. it was really far!
Then when I came to the house we all sat down and made a small schedule (typical Japanese) ^^ but nice..
Then we didnt do much, I unpacked..then during the evening we went and ate Ramen in the local area. When they said local, I thought it would have been something similar to my local area back home in Sweden.. but NO!! I would rather call it a small town!!
Shops, food.. EVERYTHING! I was chocked and amazed~
When we got back home I watched some tv..then went to sleep
Sunday (1st day)
I woke up because the whole house started to shake, EARTHQUAKE, guess if I was chocked..! I have to say it was a small one so the house didnt fall into the ground. when it was over I fell asleep again, guess it was the chock..lol ^^
When I woke up again, I took a nice shower, Japanese style ^^ and had breakfast, then we headed towards Ebisu garden place, you know where 花より男子 took place.. ^^ Of course I sat where マツじゅん sat ^^ we also went into the cinema close by and there were loads of HYD final stuff there, and I bought the official programme, guess how happy I was...also the photos in it are too good to be true (^0^)
Then the rain came, felt the Tsukasa feeling..sitting in the rain waiting for Makino, however me and Takako rushed to Tokyo Tower instead.
The view wasnt the best but good enough... loved it.. I always wanted to go.. it made me think of the movie called Tokyo tower starring 岡田准一 & 松本潤.
We were supposed to also go to Roppongi Hills but since the weather wasnt too good we went to 渋谷(shibuya) instead..and I bought some cd's with 嵐 and KinKi Kids..and Misia.
Seriously, it gets dark early and I got tired quite fast.
We had dinner in 大岡山。。。We ate at a really fancy and popular place, They ordered 4 different meals, for me ONLY!
Sashimi, Karage, Tempura and warm soba!! The soba would had been enough.. but it was MAXIMUM UMAI. However I couldnt eat it all..but tried everything!
I woke up early, took a shower, and ate yummy breakfast!!
Then at 9.30 I met Taeko-san and her daughter (sorry can't spell her name (_ _;)
First we went to the Edo-museum, which was located on the other side of Tokyo, but it was nice to see...I love history so.. it took around 3 hours I think ^^
Then we went to Asakusa, first we had lunch we ate Monja? ((I have no idea how to spell it)), Okonomiyaki and yakisoba afterwards we looked at the shire etc... then we went off to their family grave~ Which was located in the middle of Tokyo... I was surprised! Also the Japanese graves are different from the Swedish ones~
Then we went off to Akihabara, I bought earphones and a SD card for my camer,a seriously how can it be so cheap ^^... I mean it's good brands etc.. It just happens that I live in a country where things are expensive!!
It became dark and we went off to Roppongi hills, the view from their sky deck was AMAZING!!! For dinner we had sushi~~ BEST SUSHI EVER!!!!!!
Back home around 10pm..haha 12 hours of sightseeing!!! but it was fun :)
Tuesday
In the morning after breakfast Kauro came and picked me and Takako up and went to 原宿(Harajuku) for Johnnys shop, but it was sold out.. the tickets for the day.. but I phoned Iori and he had one..so he said we should meet up at 5pm, instead we walked around in 原宿 and we stopped at Kiddy land - I got a Hello Kitty pillow and some other Kitty-chan stuff from Kauro and we also ate a Japanese crepe, it was fine...but way too much cream ^^
After 原宿 we went to 渋谷 (shibuya).. and to 109 a fameous shoppingmall! ((I loved it))
and Yuko bought me a really nice pair of boots!! and some kneesocks and leggins etc... too nice!! they were expensive!!
Today I went off by myself~ a bit scary but also it felt nice in a way...
In the morning I went to 渋谷 (Shibuya) to get my railpass..
Since it had gone over 3 months since it was issued it became a problem..first the said no..they wouldnt exchanged it... then I started to say to them that it's weird and I checked it in Sweden and called the agency etc..a small white lie..but it worked^^ because another chick came and made a call..afterwards it was fine..so I got my railpass~
They also apologized for the long waiting time..haha.. I was just happy that I got it...
Japanese people always say sorry~
Time got much and I went to 池袋(Ikebukuro) and met Keiko-san and Sayuri-san.
We walked around shopping malls, had a nice meal at a Japanese restaurant, Keiko-san treated.. ^^
We also walked around to maybe 4 different bookstores to find a Japanese studentbook.. at last we found it..and when we did Keiko-san shouted "Yatta~~" really loud so a women next to us got scared and other people around us said "schh"...so we said sorry..but I couldn't stop laughing!
Keiko-san is so funny~ (^0^)o*
I'm gonna miss her when I go back to Sweden... I'll also miss Sayuri-san... guess they are the ones I like the most from my school ^^
They also showed me a store called LOFT...a store I now..LOVE ^^
and Sayuri-san bought me some cool stickers ^^
Back home I had dinner..then watched some tv, and packed...
This weeks songs: 嵐 - Truth, One love~
KinKi Kids - Hakka Candy
Ayaka - Te wo tsunagou
Super Junior - One love
This weeks food: JAPANESE FOOD
This weeks mood: HAPPY, tired, EXCITED
Exams, then I took off and went to Japan.
Sep 20-25 I stayed in 東京(Tokyo).
At Takako and Mitsuo Kondo's place.. a really nice house in Ookayama, in Meguro-Ku in Tokyo.
Yuko and her husband Susumu picked me up from Narita Airport... thanks for that.. it was really far!
Then when I came to the house we all sat down and made a small schedule (typical Japanese) ^^ but nice..
Then we didnt do much, I unpacked..then during the evening we went and ate Ramen in the local area. When they said local, I thought it would have been something similar to my local area back home in Sweden.. but NO!! I would rather call it a small town!!
Shops, food.. EVERYTHING! I was chocked and amazed~
When we got back home I watched some tv..then went to sleep
Sunday (1st day)
I woke up because the whole house started to shake, EARTHQUAKE, guess if I was chocked..! I have to say it was a small one so the house didnt fall into the ground. when it was over I fell asleep again, guess it was the chock..lol ^^
When I woke up again, I took a nice shower, Japanese style ^^ and had breakfast, then we headed towards Ebisu garden place, you know where 花より男子 took place.. ^^ Of course I sat where マツじゅん sat ^^ we also went into the cinema close by and there were loads of HYD final stuff there, and I bought the official programme, guess how happy I was...also the photos in it are too good to be true (^0^)
Then the rain came, felt the Tsukasa feeling..sitting in the rain waiting for Makino, however me and Takako rushed to Tokyo Tower instead.
The view wasnt the best but good enough... loved it.. I always wanted to go.. it made me think of the movie called Tokyo tower starring 岡田准一 & 松本潤.
We were supposed to also go to Roppongi Hills but since the weather wasnt too good we went to 渋谷(shibuya) instead..and I bought some cd's with 嵐 and KinKi Kids..and Misia.
Seriously, it gets dark early and I got tired quite fast.
We had dinner in 大岡山。。。We ate at a really fancy and popular place, They ordered 4 different meals, for me ONLY!
Sashimi, Karage, Tempura and warm soba!! The soba would had been enough.. but it was MAXIMUM UMAI. However I couldnt eat it all..but tried everything!
When we got home I watched shin domoto kyodai~
Fun as always..love KinKi kids..can't wait until the concert!!
I woke up early, took a shower, and ate yummy breakfast!!
Then at 9.30 I met Taeko-san and her daughter (sorry can't spell her name (_ _;)
First we went to the Edo-museum, which was located on the other side of Tokyo, but it was nice to see...I love history so.. it took around 3 hours I think ^^
Then we went to Asakusa, first we had lunch we ate Monja? ((I have no idea how to spell it)), Okonomiyaki and yakisoba afterwards we looked at the shire etc... then we went off to their family grave~ Which was located in the middle of Tokyo... I was surprised! Also the Japanese graves are different from the Swedish ones~
Then we went off to Akihabara, I bought earphones and a SD card for my camer,a seriously how can it be so cheap ^^... I mean it's good brands etc.. It just happens that I live in a country where things are expensive!!
It became dark and we went off to Roppongi hills, the view from their sky deck was AMAZING!!! For dinner we had sushi~~ BEST SUSHI EVER!!!!!!
Back home around 10pm..haha 12 hours of sightseeing!!! but it was fun :)
Tuesday
In the morning after breakfast Kauro came and picked me and Takako up and went to 原宿(Harajuku) for Johnnys shop, but it was sold out.. the tickets for the day.. but I phoned Iori and he had one..so he said we should meet up at 5pm, instead we walked around in 原宿 and we stopped at Kiddy land - I got a Hello Kitty pillow and some other Kitty-chan stuff from Kauro and we also ate a Japanese crepe, it was fine...but way too much cream ^^
After 原宿 we went to 渋谷 (shibuya).. and to 109 a fameous shoppingmall! ((I loved it))
and Yuko bought me a really nice pair of boots!! and some kneesocks and leggins etc... too nice!! they were expensive!!
Back to Johnny's store..OMG..I died.. it took 3 hours!!!
I never wanna go back to the Johnny's store in Harajuku EVER again..haha
I mean the ones who worked there were SUPER slow..to pick the photos out took maybe 15 min.. then waiting to get them for ages...
And Takako, Kauro and Yuko...they all waited for me outside!!! felt sorry for them~ but they went off walking in Harajuku, took a coffee etc..still...
Finally 8pm I came out...I felt fresh air again!!
And I got my Arashi stuff.. +Kinki Kids concert ticket!
Today I went off by myself~ a bit scary but also it felt nice in a way...
In the morning I went to 渋谷 (Shibuya) to get my railpass..
Since it had gone over 3 months since it was issued it became a problem..first the said no..they wouldnt exchanged it... then I started to say to them that it's weird and I checked it in Sweden and called the agency etc..a small white lie..but it worked^^ because another chick came and made a call..afterwards it was fine..so I got my railpass~

Läskigt värre~
Nu e skolan över, hade min sista lektion idag~
Imorn ska vi se på film, en film jag sett men vem bryr sig ^__^
och på fredag ere dags för skolavslutning... och det e läskigt värre!!!!
Jag fick reda på av min lärare att jag ska upp på scenen inför alla under avslutningen.. o varför då?!
Jo jag har haft 100% i närvaro..så det betyder att jag kommer få något pris av något slag skulle jag tro.. men har ingen aning... och kommer inte heller att få sitta med klassen, utan med en spec. grupp... dvs alla som haft 100% närvaro~~
Hoppas att jag inte behöver göra något spec. TYP som att prata..hahaha (^^;)
+ inte nog med att man ska upp på scenen, man måste oxå vara där mycket tidigare än alla andra~
Ursch vill inte lämna klassen, för jag har haft en bra klass, men samtidigt e jag trött och längtar hem till mamma,pappa o storebror o vänner~ antar att man behöver luftombyte..
Igår umgicks jag med Sayuri hela dagen efter skolan~
Först gick vi hem o lagade kladdkaka, fikade, pratade o sedan gick vi till bion o köpte våra biljetter till Hana Yori Dango Final
Efteråt gick vi och gjorde Sticker photos...hehe, de blev rikigt bra~
Synd att vi inte har sånna hemma för ett bra pris..!!
Vi hade ca 45 min på oss till bion skulle börja så vi gick runt i Edae och spanade in kläder osv...
Innan vi gick in i salongen köpte vi popcorn o dricka.. caramel popcorn, Sayuri sa att de var gott så vi prövade~ ((vi köpe en Combo o delade))
När vi kom in i salongen var den fylld med hjärtan, och "soffor", inte stolar... hahaha vi dog av garv.. antar att HYD klassas som en couple movie~~
i alla fall innan den började lekte vi lite o tog lite konstiga kort ^__^;
Man kan ju undra hur gamla vi är men antar.. WE ARE CRAZY ~~(^-^)o*
Kan säga att filmen var underbar, jag har väntat ca 1 år, dvs då det blev bestämt att HYD Final skulle spelas in~~
Matsujun = SMEXY, Dorky, DoS, Funny and totally L O V E

Frihet o underbart~
Imorse vaknade jag tidigt igen, det är något fel på mig, jag har sömnproblem nu för tiden~
I alla fall kom till skolan, hade min skriftliga examen först, skulle jämföra 2 städer - likheter o olikheter...
samt skriva om smeknamn på alla i klassen, samt lärarens, men fick lite panik så istället för att skriva om min egen klass hittade jag på ^__^
Vi får se hur resultatet blir.. vet några stav/grammtikfel men det kan inte hjälpas nu liksom~
Sedan blev de dags för min muntliga examen, o jag var först ut i klassen, sist förra gången o först nu..hmm... aja..kom in i sal 201 och satte mig ner..
Det gick rätt bra tycker jag själv..men var nervös då jag hade 이정영 선생님(Lee Jeongyeong seonsaengnim) som testade mig.. hon är den stränga läraren..hahaha
först fick jag läsa en text högt sen välja mellan 3 olika papperslappar..o kan säga att jag drog de lättare sakerna, eller snarare de jag kunde bra!
Fick låsas som att jag skulle köpa ett par byxor o sedan slags tröja jag skulle köpa till så att det skulle matcha, samt berätta vad min hobby är~~
När jag kom ut stod halva klassen ivrigt på att få veta hur det hade gått~~
+ sa hejdå till Sowon som skulle åka hem till Kina efter provet, kommer inte att se henne igen men ska adda henne på msn :)
Sedan gick jag tillbax till min klass klassrum o pratade me Hesti o Keiko... o sedan gick jag hem o slappade, duschade o packade min väska~
Jag kände mig lättad att jag var klar med mina sluttentor...som faktiskt inte var så svåra som jag trodde att de skulle vara..då vi hade sjukt mycket att studera!
I alla fall så åkte jag lite tidigare till 강변역 (Kangbyeok station)...kollade in Techno mart för att se vad mp3n som jag vill ha skulle kosta...men ska förmodligen köpa den någonannanstans för kvalitens skull~
Innan jag mötte upp 희정(HeeJung) gick jag ner till Lotte mart o köpte lite grönt te o snacks att ga med på bussen~
Kan säga att kön på 강벽버스터미날 (Kangbyeok bussterminal) liknade kön till Ullared! så jag fik slå mig fram för att huvudtaget komma upp till andra våningen~
Kom på bussen o kan säga att man hade sjukt bra med ben utrymme, typ som att åka business class på flyg.. så med mp3 på lagom volym så kunde jag sova bra~
Idag var dagen då alla lämnar Seoul, för alla ska iväg o fira 추석 (Chuseok - Thanks giving) så själv klart var det bilköer~~ men jag sov förbi dem... och efter några timmar blev jag väck då bussen stannade o vi var vid en rastplats..så jag o HeeJung gick ut för att sträcka på benen~
Kan säga att rastplatsen var enorm..med SJUKT mkt folk..
Yttligare 2 timmar senare var vi framme i 강릉 (Kangneung).. tog en buss hem till Heejungs mamma o syster... o sedan blev det en slapp hemmakväll med mkt skratt framför tv'n - Korea o alla deras sjukt roliga shower ^^
Imorse vaknade jag av att värmen började stiga omkring sådär klockan 6 på mogonen men vägrade att lyfta kroppen från golvet förrän runt halv 10 tiden..
Yepp sov på golvet.. Korean style ^___^;
Sedan blev det dags för en koreansk frukost som innehöll: soppa med tofu, ris, köttbullsliknande saker, stektfisk..o div andra små rätter~
+ Heejungs familj pratar med en bred dialekt..o kan säga att det e sjukt svårt ibland att fatta vad de säger så vid frukostbordet bad Heejung att de skulle tala rikskoreanska... haha.. stackars dem.. vad har jag ställt till med?.. jag sa dock att de inte behövde..sa att min koreanska är inte så bra ändå så det e lugnt~ men Heejung envisades med att jag förstår så pass bra att jag i alla fall skulle kunna hänga med i deras konversationer någorlunda om de använde sig av rikskoreanska~
Så de lovade att de skulle försöka... men kan säga att det är ju sjukt svårt att byta uttal... jag menar.. jag har ju vissa uttal på svenska som e lite "dialekt" eller vad man ska säga så att byta ut dem är ett ansträngande jobb...
Efter en morgon dusch bar det av till en av Kangneungs bästa stränder.. 경포~
Det kändes som att jag hade hamnat på en semesterort i Spanien/Grekland.. vattnet var klarblått o solen sken.. jag sprang såklart ner för stranden, kastade av mig mina skor o sprang ner i havet ^^ kan säga att det var varmt och jag önskade att jag hade haft med mig mina simkläder~~
Så vi stannade där ett tag, sedan tog vi en promenad o sedan buss in till stan, shoppade lite, åt lunch o blev upplockade av Heejungs kompis "Ellie" och lämnade Kangneung o åkte till 평창 (Pyeongchang), staden som ville ha Vinter OS men inte fick det!
Det var grymt vackert, det kändes som jag hamnat i en bergsby i alperna!! Vi parkerade bilen o sedan tog en linbana upp till toppen av skidbacken (1450 meter)
Det tog ca 10 min..o kan säga att dt var hur vackert som helst.. var bara ca 20 mil från Seoul men naturen o luften var helt annorlunda, det kändes inte som Korea.
Utsikten var underbar o tog sjukt mycket kort...åkte samma väg ner..o sedan tillbax till Kangneung, skulle åkt o se på någon gård där de föder upp får men klockan blev mycket så vi åkte o åt middag i stan istället, på en känd 갈비(kalbi) restaurang~~ vilket var mysigt o maten var SJUKT god..o billig med tanke på det vi beställde~
Väl hemma igen köpte vi glass i affären framför huset.. samt jag sprang upp för 9 våningar.. bara för att maten la sig som en klump i magen ^^
Imorn blir det~~ besök till en annan stand här i Kangneung, besöka HeeJungs morföräldras familjegrav samt släktmiddag...
Så i natt ska jag sova i HeeJungs systers rum då deras mamma vill göra i ordning imorn bitti ((hon brukar vakna runt kl 5-6 på morgonen!!)) i vardagsrummet..o istället för att jaga upp gästen som behöver sin skönhetsömn..så får hennes döttrar istället vakna tidigt o hjälpa till... (^__^;)
Dagens humör: Chockad o lättad
Dagens låt: 빅뱅 - 하루하루
Dagens mat: 갈비
