My apartment tour!

xxxxxxx

So, I'm in Japan!!

Waaa!! Finally! I'm settling into my appartment in Japan. I arrived in the promised land on the 19th of March but I've been in Narita training for a week before I made my journey out to the Niigata Prefecture! It's been really exciting and busy but here is a taste of my adventure from Tokyo to Mistuke :3 Dozou!

This is the train we took, it was ridiculously comfortable and spacious!

Coming into Tokyo and the tower in the far distance was pointed out to me, I think it's the Sky tower? Am I right? The tallest tower in the universe I think XD

Sunny, sunny Tokyo!!

The Toyama crew getting ready to change train. Lovely people xxx

My first glimps at Niigata's snowy mountains!!

The view from my front door! Uber snow-age hehe

Walking around Mistuke ♥

I found a dozen temples....

...and just as many shrines!!

And, of course, two of the most Japanese things ever! Bikes and vending machines, you can stand anywhere in Japan, close your eyes, throw a stone and be bound to hit either one of these things hehe.

Ok, sorry to be brief but I must get to work! XD More pictures soon :) Love! xxxx

Skye, Visa and getting a life.

Well, so much has happened this might actually be the longest blog post ever XD and I know I say that every post but just wait! Hehe I’ll have to go back a month to start with the updates, I’ve been so busy as of late that I’ve been baked up with things to post about ><

　
Skye:
Firstly! At the end of January I took some time off of shitty work to go up to the isle of Skye wit’ me mummy and some friends J It was sooo beautiful and relaxing XD there was NOTHING to do! Hehe so I will log my relaxed get away with photos J

 *pretty misty mountains!*

 *The view from our cottage ^^ *

 *Every night we would start up a big, roaring fire. It was so cosy!*

 *This is the fire I made up ^^ First time I had done it*

 *The mountains I could see from my tiny window, sorry for focus >< *

 *more mountains*

 *ickle boat!*

 *Such a sky, I never did see ♪*

 *The old man...not the gentleman in white but the rock*

 *A closer look at the old man rock formation*

And my new ring! I love it, it's such a wonderful present to be given and something I can take away with me and just have as a reminder of all the people back home whom i love and miss.....sapsapsap*

while i was in skye I got my placement phonecall from Japan ^^ I was so excited!! I still am! I'm going to a place called Mitsuke in the Niigata prefecture! eee!! Roughly about here-

I don't think 'excited quite cuts it XD I'm nervous as get out but so eager to go, I still can't believe its happening!


Visa:
The next step was getting my working visa! My consulate is in my beautiful capital city, so off to Edinburgh I went! More photos!!

 *The consulate is on the right...I don't know if you can see the Japanese flag lol*

Getting the visa application handed in was the easy part, it only took a few minutes, so, myself and my visa buddy decided we's head back into town and head to a museum XD because we're full of class like that lol!



 *The museum entrance*

 *A Japanese Temple lantern ♥*

 *A victorian printing press! I love this thing lol*

 *The museum basically shut half an hour after we arrived XD so I only saw a little*

*But I did find time to learn about the mega sloth first! This is is HUGE! D: *

All that said and done I came home and played the waiting game until, 5 days later....



...my visa came!! I'm now ready to work in Japan ^^ yeeeee!! This has made things seem suddenly more real!! I seriously need to get my act together and get organised! In fact, I'v just scared myself into needing to do some work xD

*Busies herself in her room*
