SURPRISED but HAPPY !!!!

2 years ago, I came to Vancouver for 6 weeks using summer vacation from college. There, I met great friends. Emiri, Aya, Yuto and Kazu :D We always went anywhere together and played a lot!!!

Fireworks at English Bay with Emiri, Yuto and Kazu!

Fireworks on the other day and we met Aya!!!

Enjoyed our summer!!!

School's Welcome Pary with Emiri and Yuto!

Bowling :D :D :D

After we came back to each city from Vancouver, we always said we wanted to see each other, but since our city is different, it was really hard to gather......
Aya and Kazu actually work at company in my city so that we tried to see each other. I asked Emiri and Yuto whether they could come, but their answer was no :(

!!!!!!!!!BUT BUT BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

They made a surprise for me! Emiri and Yuto also came to my city for me from Tokyo!!!!!!! Actually they planned this from 2 months ago and they tried to make it secret. haha I was so surprised and I cried... Of course it was because I was so happy to see everyone!!!!!! No one changed at all :) Once we saw each other, we talked about our time in Vancouver and they told me how much they wanted to come to Vancouver again, so I told them that we could see each other in Vancouver next time and they all could stay at my new house!!! Sounds so much fun :D

Kazu is always SO funny!!!!!

Emiri and Aya are like my old sisters :)

Kazu is my dad and Yuto is my big brother :D

YAAAAY!!! Everyone could get care bear!!!!

Today was such a great day!!!
Thanks for arranging everything, Aya!!!
Thanks for the taxi or everything, Kazu!!!
Thanks for coming over from Tokyo, Emiri and Yuto!!!!
Love you guys a loooooot and I can't wait to see you guys again near the future :D

LOVE STARBUCKS !!!!!!

Since I was a high school student, I've always wanted to work at starbucks. I still remember when I passed university entrance exam and called starbucks to ask whether I could work or not.
I was 18 when I started to work.

My Starbucks at Oasis 21

I miss making coffee...

I always loved to wear that green apron!

Welcome to Our Starbucks!

Enjoy your cup of coffee!!!

They are all who I trained.

Last day I worked at starbucks, I was so sad. After I graduated my college and until I came to Vancouver, I worked there almost everyday. I loved to work there more than anything else. I learned a lot of stuff from working at starbucks. On that day, everyone hold a party for me :)

Mayu-san and Mori-chan were always my model :)

Maru-chan and I were great morning combination!!!

Ken-san and Saname-mon were always so funny ;)

Masami, Mayu-san, Maru-chan, me and Eri-san :) Great member!!!

We made our store nice by ourselves!!!

I really missed working at starbucks and missed my friends there. One of my friend again hold a party for me because I came back to Japan this time!!! It's been a year to see them and I was so excited!!!! Once we met each other, we went just crazy and didn't stop talking :P hehe I thought I took many pictures, but I talked a lot and forgot to take pictures.... But, I have one I took with everyone!!!


I really felt like working with this member!!!!! My 3 years starbucks life was really awesome and I'll never forget about it :D I can't wait to see them again and also I'll wait for them to come to Vancouver some day :)
Thanks for coming today everyone!!! Love Starbucks! Love Everyone!!!! :D

SUSHI

Do you like sushi?? I LOVE IT :D You can eat like...California Roll or Dynamite Roll or Spider Roll or whatever in Vancouver, but nothing like that exists in Japan!!!
I went to the sushi store that my family and I always go.

This is the store called "Tokube"!!!


Inside is like this ;)





What is your favorite sushi??? Mine is of course....

★☆SALMON☆★

You know most of the sushi restaurants in Japan have circle rail that sushi is on to be served. We can pick whatever we wanna eat ;)




He is my favorite Sheff at this store ;)


My order is ... another of my favorite,

★☆Scallop☆★

I wanted to take more pictures, but I was so hungry and I didn't have any time to take a picture....hahaha Sorry everyone :P

If you have a plan to come to Japan, try sushi store!!! It's not that expensive and you can have fun for sure :D
Ahhhhh I'm so full!!! Time to take a shower and go to bed!!! haha
Have a good night everyone!

JAPAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!

Finally I have time to write my blog!
Yep, I came back to Japan last Saturday and I'm having so much fun :D I'll tell you everything what I've done so far!!!

On the day I arrived in Japan, my family and I went to eat yakiniku (BBQ) store! Me, my brother and dad drank beer and it was good feeling :) After dinner I went to my grandma's house to give her my souvenir. I LOVE grandma and I missed her so much.... She loved my souvenir and I was happy to buy it for her :D
I really thought it's extremely hot in Japan, but it's not so bad and I don't need air conditioner at all!!! I can sleep very well and seem like I don't have any problems of jet lag. haha

On Sunday, I hung out with my best friends! It was been a long time to gather all 7 members and it was just so much fun! We started to play from 8am and first place we went was coffee store from my city! Everyone loves this coffee store ;)
This is the coffee store called Komeda Coffee :D


We love taking pictures :D



Komeda's morning set comes with toast and boiled egg and any drinks ;)



This is Komeda's most famous food called Shironowarl ;)


Let's eat and it's time to talk :D :D :D

From 8:30 to 11:30, we kept talking! I haven't talked to them for a year, so of course there are so many stuff we wanna talk about!!! Everyone asked whatever they wanna know about someone ;) We are always like that and I love this member a lot :) We've known each other for 4 years already..... Wow, I sometimes feel like I wanna go back to my college life with my friends. It was full of fun :)
Even though we ate a lot, around 11:30 we went to another restaurant that we always go for lunch! There, again we talked and ate..... hahaha Most of the time we spend is for eating and talking. That's what girls are :)

After we felt so full, we went to the place we can sing!!!!!

...

Karaoke!!!!! We sang for 4 hours!




After Karaoke, we went to eat dinner! We went to the restaurant which is famous for chicken wings ;) Chicken wing is from my city and this restaurant is really good for it!!!
This restaurant is called "Sekai no Yama-chan" (=World of Yama-chan).


One of the famous foods from my city, Nagoya, called Miso Kushi Katsu!



Lotus Root Chips!



AND this is famous chicken wings!!!


It's really REALLY good with beer!!!!!!

Today I was with my friends for 15 hours, but it wasn't enough at all if I think I haven't talked to them for a year.... They've been really good friends and I love them so much!!!! Next time I can see them is April to go to one of them's wedding!!! I can't wait to it :)


Love you guys!!! Thanks a lot for today :D
