Which Size Whisker Biscuit Should I Get

Up Day # 185 - relocation, orientation etc

So, I took a few shots already completed in previous entries, but otherwise you still have to wait ....
Sorry ~ ~ ~ ~ (but the upload will take a long time and always fun, it does not exactly ^ ^;)

On 20.02. I moved again. But only from one building to another part of the Graduate Dorms part of the building. Still on the same floor.
Unfortunately it did not work out again with a Japanese or Korean roommate. Instead I live I now for the next semester with Ina together ^ _ ^ not too bad for me ^ ^

Today ( 27.02. ) was the orientation session for new exchange students. For me it was was not necessarily to go there, but I did still like to sit 3 hours in the LG Convention Hall and to listen to the ideas, presentations and explanations ^ _ ^ After that again a nice little buffet.

goes from Monday the university release.
course will I choose again the Korean course. (Or I've actually already done .. unfortunately it has since been a few problems and I was now on the price lists are not with it. I was But apparently not alone in this problem, so I hope it was just a technical mistake, and I'm in the same course as the old ones from my class (as it was intended)).
Furthermore, I will probably show this time there are other courses. But probably nothing that has to do with my field of study, as there is somehow not as good this semester courses ...
And I try in any university club to come in ... let's see if I can do it this semester XD (Well, last year I did it by joining the Ewha Global Campus Leader indeed had done XD)

Value Of Pez Dispensers

JAPAN Tag # 9 & 10 - Asakusa, Ikebukuro, Nakano , Narita, Seoul

At 17:02 , actually our last day in Japan, we went to Asakusa down. If you want to buy souvenirs and gifts, this is THE place to in Tokyo. I feel like all the souvenir shops in Tokyo have assembled here.
After we had walked through the streets of these stores, we arrived at the temples.
saw in the summer, the Japanese garden at the temples, of course, a little more impressive now than in the winter, and yet it still looked very nice.
After we had seen enough, she went back again and this time the Seizeriya (or so mentioned in the last entry) and have finally eaten pizza (which was not as expensive as in Korea, but smaller and not as tasty as when Mr . pizza).

thanks again to Ina for the pictures ^ o ^

As we left the day a little later than usual (which many running around the last few days in Seoul us something exhausted), it was mitlerweile become dark, but after even a small trip to Ikebukuro, we have again made their way to Nakano .

The 18.02. was only departure day.
After we had checked out (and our bags were left standing in the office), we looked a little Nakano myself, but we are against 2am direction Narita down, which was quite good. Although our flight was only towards the 18h, but the trip has taken a lot of time (somal the JR train, which travels to Tokyo and the we had to change only once every hour drive ...), so we barely have enough time had to eat something and then get on the plane.
Circa later 3 uneventful hours (although turbulence "threatened" to have lol) we arrived safely in Seoul ^ ^
From there we are again about driving an hour by bus directly to the Ewha and I am half dead into the front of exhaustion bed drop (the case is not so easy to pull ..)


conclusion: (lol) I am very very
glad I've still managed to come on holiday to Japan, even though it was very tiring because we are just running through the area.
I was very happy that my friends - both Japanese and German - was able to meet ^ _ ^ I hope we can meet again in the summer ^ ^
We also had very nice weather for this time of year, as if Japan dadrĂ¼ber just happy that I came, I was very happy about my visit XDD
blablabla XD

Stir Crazy Birmingham Jail Song

JAPAN Day # 8 - Ginza, Shibuya

Unfortunately, I am so fond far behind with the entries (again, but I was so pretty regularly at the beginning of written T_T) that I am not so strictly to the Details can remember XD

On 16.02. we are first to Tokyo Station down and have lost there in the underground shopping centers look around. The sad part was, however, that are currently building in and around the station on. Therefore, he is almost unrecognizable. Actually it is a very beautiful train station, modeled on Amsterdam ... is currently a bad time if you want to see the XD
After we had for hours fought in the underground, it went to the sunlight and we have the Ginza -area looked at. Ginza is known for its Louis Vuitton, and what I do for Schicki-Micki stores. In addition, is here about half a year made the first H & M in Japan (the second one has opened in Harajuku). I've heard that is so popular that you can see on some days looong queues outside the shop waiting dadrauf, come to be left.

From Ginza, we have gone towards Shimbashi Station, where you could look at himself again and beautiful architecture.

Then we went back to Tokyo station and from there the train to Shibuya, we were now agreed to 19h with Laura.
I'm very pleased to meet them again and it was also very interesting to hear how she was given as an au pair in Japan ^ ^

Unfortunately as some things are wrong (by which you can see but laughing away ^ ^). First, we wanted to Seizariya (or something similar, an Italian Rasturant chain) to eat, but unfortunately the store was so crowded we had to wait very long. So we went to eat somewhere else, where it was also very tasty (Ramen). Then they wanted to show us a small and cozy cafe, which unfortunately was equally crowded XD Then we went to Starbucks, from which one could see the major intersection of the second floor of .... unfortunately crowded.
After we simply something went through the area, we have not done Purikura ^ O ^

Then we had unfortunately already again ~ ~

adopt again thanks to Ina for the pictures ^ ^

How Much Is It To Ge A New Driver License

JAPAN Tag # 7 - Harajuku, Shibuya, Tamachi

Today I slept through the alarm clock. That means that I'm woken by the alarm clock, have identified him and I accidentally fell asleep again lol
Ina seemed to have the alarm clock does not even include XD So it went a little later today, going as planned. I think I have the 1 1 / 2 hours more sleep but had also urgently needed! The whole running around by myself Tokyo breaks something * haha *

Since it was Sunday, we wanted to once again go to Yoyogi Park, there is always something to see there. At least in the summer. I did not know how it looks in winter. So we are
driven to Harajuku station. First it was once again in the Takeshita Street, for there to eat Udon Udon at Hanamaru. From there we went back to the station and across the bridge of cosplayers (which had gathered a few) towards Yoyogi park.

~ * ~ ~ * ~ Intermezzo statement
Cosplay: comes from "Costume Play" (costume play) and cosplayers people are called who dressed like an anime or manga character. Often with homemade costumes. A bit like the carnival.
Harajuku Bridge: A bridge over the railway tracks, which is on the way from Harajuku Station to Yoyogi Park. Every Sunday, meet here cosplayers - but mostly dress up like this Members of Japanese music groups (Visual Kei bands).
Even if one does not have as much interest in cosplay in general and Visual Kei, it is worth the look at in any case open, because it's just interesting just to see people live XD
~ * ~ Declaration Intermezzo END ~ * ~

Not yet arrived at the Yoyogi Park was heard Elvis Presley music out loud boom boxes - and they were still there: the stylish dressed as Elvis or Japanese, who danced in a circle to music. 2006, I've seen it (although there were possibly other people) and they are still dancing lol Also a very funny matter and you should not miss a visit to Japan * * find

Unfortunately I was then a little disappointed. It was not a single band that was on their capabilities to the wayside. Usually Sundays are always bands to Yoyogi Park and stand with drums and everything that goes on the side of the road and play their songs to be discovered in the hope (or just for fun XD). Just a little off, there were four boys, two of which were playing acoustic guitars that have some singing ... back

again through the park, it went back over the bridge to Omotesando Hills. Omotesando Hills is like a department store of the rich (which it probably is) and the architecture is again very interesting, but it does not come to Roppongi Hills turn XD

then we have given us on the way to Shibuya, in order to make a picture together with Hachiko (the dog statue) ^ ^ and from there it went to the manga shop in Shibuya, the Mandarake . There are manga in average for 1-2 €. In Germany, by now cost about 7 € (I do not know, because I no longer have long been bought). Since my Japanese is something I would like to brush up and I've bought a few myself, of course XD

At 6 clock we had arranged to meet with Ricardo in Tamachi and we went together to the local Keio campus. Unfortunately, it was already dark, but it was very interesting the University of the rich could once be seen from close XD
ago From the Main Gate you will see the Tokyo Tower from very close. Actually we had planned to go there, but somehow the plan had dissolved into thin air, because we were hungry and after eating too lazy to even walk on the way there.
We then prefer to put in a Starbucks imitation and a little talking XD Unfortunately, this has to be made at 9am and we passed each other again.

again thanks to Ina for the pictures ^ o ^
