It's been a long time to play whole 3 days off from school :D Even though we don't have school on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, it doesn't mean we can just play. We have to do homework, study for exams, review what we leaned....etc
BUT BUT BUT!!! This weekend was different! I played all days with my friends and I had so much fun :) Here is story from my weekend!!!!!
On Friday my friends and I hung out for lunch as usual. We went to the restaurant that one of my friend's host mom runs. I think we spent around 3 hours there talking, eating and our favorite playing Black Jack!!! We ate a lot because the
sheff at the restaurant served us many free meals!!! We were happy, but we were so full when we left the restaurant. After that, we went to
IKEA (furniture store) because I wanted to get some doll for my bed, Lily (my Chinese friend)
wanted candles and Hugh (my Korean friend) wanted to buy new pillow! On the way to the
IKEA, we went so crazy and seemed like we were drunk.
haha We just talked really stupid stuff, made fun of each other, started to speak own language...etc! I feel really comfortable with them :D At
IKEA, I found CUTE elephant doll!!!! It's so soft that I can hold easily!

Here you go!!! Me and my friends, Lily,
KyungMi and Hugh, tried to name him and thought about it a lot! His name is "
Kodda" if you are Japanese,
pronounce it "
Kota". It's from elephant in Korean and Chinese actually! He is Swedish-Canadian simply because
IKEA is
Swedish company and I bought him here in Canada!
hahaha When we went to the station from
IKEA, everyone looked us (well ME) because a girl was holding elephant doll in her arms!
hahaha He always sleeps with me :) You gotta come see him and say "HI".
hehe

CUUUUTE☆
On Friday night, my host family took me to the really nice Greek restaurant!!! My host dad is from Greece :D The atmosphere was just awesome and food there was
excellent :) Andy (my host dad) ordered traditional Greek food for me :) I don't know the spell, so I can't tell you now....
haha Sorry about that! After dinner, they took me to the supermarket to buy what I wanna eat next week because they are going on trip to Cuba from tomorrow for a week!!! It was funny, but on the way home in a car, we could smell Greek food that we ate...
hahaha heavy.... Me and coffee drank some strong coffee after we were back home, but we could sleep very well as usual ;)
heheI showed my friend who came here a few weeks ago around Vancouver on Saturday! It's been a
loooong time for me to speak Japanese! We went to the English Bay and we found a good cafe!!! I told

him that I wanted just hot coffee, but because the name was "coffee of the hour", which was long for him to say in English, he ordered
americano!
hahahaha He was like "I don't know what to say because name was too long". I'm gonna be his English teacher I guess!
haha It's been a long time for me too to go to downtown so I had fun :) We went to Gas Town and took a picture of "steam clock"!!! I remembered myself when I first came to Vancouver and took a picture of it!!!
hahaha
sooo cute :)

Today, which is Sunday, I hung out with Lily again :) We went to Japanese restaurant (Finally!!!) and it was good! I really wanted to buy some clothes and I got 3 T-shirts!!! All of them are so cool (well....I
should say it's "cute"?). I LOVE T-shirt and Jeans with my awesome blue watch and bracelet :) That's my style, which is a lot different than typical Japanese girl. Everyone tells me it IS
Aoi :) Oh! I went to the hair salon finally!!!! I haven't gone there since I came to Vancouver and my hair got really messy... I wanted to keep the length, so I just got layer and changed hair color :) I like my new hair style!!! I talked my stylist and Lily ALL the time and it was so much fun!!!
One more thing!!! We went to "Rocky Mountain Chocolate" for the first time in a
looong time!

It's a chocolate store and
famous for
hmmm what it's called?......"apple caramel chocolate". It's used whole apple
covered with caramel and variety of sweets! It's impossible to eat with only one person. I think 4 people is the best because it's so sweet.
haha There are seasonal decoration too! Like Halloween, Christmas, and now it's for Easter!!! It's so cute to see the rabbit decoration! Lots of people took a picture, so....I did it too!!
heheheActually what we ate was chocolate
marshmallow!! It was good with coffee at
starbucks!
haha
Easter Bunny!!!
I had a really good weekend!!! I really hope it's getting warmer soon because it snowed here AGAIN!!! It's crazy this year~~~ :D Summers are so pretty here and I can't wait to it !!!!
Ok, I'll get some sleep for tomorrow's class! Have a nice dream everyone!
