Happy New Year, dear ones!
明けまし て おめでとうございます!, As they say here.
My new year was just a bit earlier than your ...
I wanted to write mails by mobile phone to all their email address I got on the phone, but as of midnight, the network was so crowded that I could send nothing at all ^ ^''
And to be honest be ... New Year's was not as great as I had expected and certainly not nearly as great as you have presented it to you apparently.
Maybe because my family (like my German family) it is always like a bit more quiet ... Anyway, there is not much to tell.
My host dad was not even there, it's like this to go to bed at 9. The first person I know who has slept through the New Year
Oo I did not find it bad, it was quite comfortable, but I had it to me somehow a bit ... presented greater.
Am 31.12. we ate at my Gastoma Neujahrssoba (soba are buckwheat noodles), has tasted pretty good. Tomo and Momo (my host brothers and sisters) but have eaten rice, because they do not stand a single day without the normal white rice ^ ^
In the night we have not done much ... We have set ourselves the living room and watched the countdown on TV.
Then it was midnight, Hurray, Hurray, and then we went to sleep. Oo New Year's Eve?
is the next day my family went to this early morning religion thing (but not traditional, as they have told me), but they thought that I could sleep, it would be better if I do not would come along, because it's pretty boring and nothing that interested exchange students.
Well, I thought and I hold a long sleep. Afterwards we all went back to my Gastoma (she lives on only 3 corners) and ate even more traditional. As I said, my Gastoma manages to cook more traditional than my family, so I'm sometimes a few problems. But there was this soup with Omochi (a thick mixture of mashed rice) and tofu and was really nice \u0026lt;3 So I have got the stomach just crammed with Omochi. Then we went to
are karaoke. Yay!
sung so much I want my voice on the end has become very high and I krächzig Sounds of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" have not done ^ ^ '"99 Luftballons" was, as always best to know the fact and they all marvel at all that I can sing (omg, how difficult, it is German) and look forward to.
So, New Year was not particularly exciting, but I still had a lot of fun and that's the important thing, right?
On 2 we went to the house of the brother of my host mom, remember more about it? The family with the sugar-sweet children.
Large family gatherings, but it was so funny and has so much fun done! Everyone was very nice to me and we talked a lot and played with the children, etc.
That was a beautiful day and festive than Christmas.
Japanese children do not get as many presents for Christmas, but money for the New Year, in a small envelope.
This is in my family so, and to my surprise even I've got something.
had this I never expected, I knew that you can get money, but I had assumed that I, as an exchange student get nothing. Well, I did get something from my host family, two gas Tomas, host and guest uncle great-uncle. On 2 have I host my uncle the second time and met my host uncle for the first time and I was quite surprised that as I get the same money as everyone else and not just a little. I did not know how should I respond, so I like to extend heartfelt thanks and that's it.
Overall, there was quite came together. So I had not expected. But I know what I do with the money ^ ^
Yes, and yesterday I went with Asya one more time to Shibuya. New Year Sale is everywhere, because all the money got. Shibuya was totally full and the 109 (a famous department store) was incredibly stressful. The corridors of the 109 are quite narrow (Japan -.-) and it was packed and totally loud, because at each shop, the sellers were on small Leiterchen or stools (which they use in stores accessible to the upper shelves to ) come and have shouted from his lungs. "Oooooooff 50%", "4000yeeeeeeen" SUPER loud, everyone wanted to be louder than the shop next door, and all very very loud music, different in every shop, which then mixes have when you was in progress, where to go anyway, could hardly, because it was so full. Speaking was difficult, one can not understand, yes. Some shops had to queue even get in at all.
Each store would be the loudest ("IRAAASSHAIMASEEEEE") and the most striking thing (creepy feathers on the eyelids of the sellers).
My dad would have died because of it.
It was exhausting, but sometimes an experience that is 109 to experience more alive than it is on normal days. It
Sale was everywhere, but we asked ourselves if it is not a sale, perhaps, and they only try to sell more, by saying it's sale. Because it was still very very expensive. All Brand in 109 -.-
And Lucky packs were everywhere, I did that was by Liz Lisa, because namely, a dress, a jacket and a T-shirt in it and all in a really cute bag for 5000yen. Normally, only the bag is 7000yen. Well, Liz Lisa's Lucky Pack was sold out by 1 pm already and yesterday was the first day, have to open the shops in Shibuya again. Great.
But we still had a lot of fun, I discover and Asya more things we have in common and shopping fun with it.
Only 4 days vacation and I've caught a cold again. Always on holiday, super ... na
My nose dripped all day yesterday and ruined my make-up.
I hope I feel better by tomorrow, I would like to use my vacation a bit. I want to go to Shinjuku and see if have the Lolita brands again Lucky Pack. If so, then I want one of Emily Temple Cute! I'm so yesterday in the 109 bought none. The Lucky Packs are the only really cheap at the sale.
Well, watch out for you, all love
Marie
