Follow me on my trip to Japan!

Hall :)) Ich heiße Kerstin und studiere Deutsch und Englisch. Ich habe gerade eben nach japanischen Highschool sgegoogelt, an denen auch Deutsch unterrichtet wird und bin auf die Dokkyo Saitama und deinen Tumblr Post gestoßen. Hoffentlich komme ich nicht dreist oder so rüber, aber ich wollte einfach mal fragen, ob du weisst, wie man mit der Schule in den Kontakt treten kann. Ich würde nämlich sehr gerne ein Praktikum oder so da machen da ich ja Deutsch/English Lehrerin werde ^^''Liebe Grüße :)

Hallo, danke fuer deine Nachricht.Ich habe Tumblr eine sehr lange Zeit vernachlässigt (5 Jahre?!), aber man kann hier ja nicht mal sehen, wann ich deine Nachricht bekommen habe... also antworte ich einfach trotzdem.Mit Kontakt bei der Dokkyo kann ich dir leider nicht helfen, die Deutschlehrer dort sind aber auch nicht wirklich begabt, weiss nicht ob ein Praktikum dir da helfen würde.Die deutsche Schule in Yokohama sucht aber immer nach Praktikanten mit passendem Studium, also würde ich es dort versuchen!(falls deine Nachricht 5 Jahre alt ist und du schon längst dein Praktikum in Japan hinter dir hast, tut es mir leid)Falls du noch andere Fragen hast, kannst du mir gerne schreiben. Ich bin immer noch in Japan und fest bei einer Firma angestellt.

Liebe Grüße

Long time no see

YES! I'm still alive. Is anyone still following this blog btw?

At one point my computer died and I couldn't upload  anymore...

But, guess what

These days I'm just a normal office worker in Tokyo.

So, if you're interested in how that worked out send me a dm

(she yells into the dark abyss)

What I find kind of strange is, that winter apparently is strawberry season in Japan.

So you can find all the usual snacks and drinks in their strawberry flavour version.

As for pai no mi, I actually like the caramel milktea version the best (*¬*)

I went to see iluminations in Enoshima around Christmas.

Japan is crazy about iluminations, you can find them literally everywhere.(-^〇^-)

[vanni-bananni]

But my very favourite place on earth probably is Enoshima! I swear if you ever come to Japan, you have to visit it!!

Yokohama is just, so beautiful (´ω｀★)

Yuuhei showing off my Alpacas ｡◕‿◕｡

Actually I got a new Alpaca, two days ago (as you may know, when you follow my twitter)~

My christmas present from Alina 。(⌒∇⌒。)

It's so cute, isn't it?

[vanni-bananni]

Shiori and Alina being cute~

Seriously, Japan has the coolest Haagen Dasz flavours ever. This time, I ate Cocoa and Almond Cookie flavour, it was soooo good ＼（＠￣∇￣＠）／

Next time I will try cherry blossom and rose flavour (*´・ｖ・)

[vanni-bananni]

After eating, we played "Wo am I" (is that actually the name of the game? lol)

For once the party was at my house 〜(￣▽￣〜)

We made tomate/cheese and kimchi nabe, so delicious

HEY! It's been a while guys. I hope you're all well (｡´∀｀)ﾉ

Of course, a lot happened in the last month, but I will start with posting some photos of our Nabe Party in December~

And last one for today- I went to a Bigbang concert in Saitama- Seibu Dome with my friend Misako!

It was my first concert in Japan and it was really great. Eventhough we had standing seats and stood quite far behind AND because it's a dome for baseball games, it was really really REALLY cold.

The concert was the first of their Japan tour, it was top's birthday, it also was the video premier of his new promotion video, winner performed as supporting act AND the concert lasted for 3 hours (that makes it the longest concert I ever went to after The Cure who played just a little bit more than 3 hours XDD). So all in all it was really awesome!

But now onto the goods that I bought: The big picture of D-lite (how he is called in Japan XD) or Daesung, is actually just promotion for the goods you were able to buy. They had many different versions so I actually feel quite lucky to get one of bigbang's members!

Then I, obviously, had to buy the penlight (or lightstick or whatever you call these things XD) cause I love penlights!

The Big Band Candy is actually candy lol it included a trading card. I got Taeyang who is promoting his new album on his card (he actually promoted his album throughout the whole concert. He always said we should all buy 10 copies lol) AGAIN if anyone wants to trade (cause I don't really have a favourite member, I would rather trade with someone who really wants his card XD) just let me know.

I also bought this super cute hairband with a golden B and a crown hanging from it and a shining ring (you couldn't choose the color, but I think white is nice~).

For the rest of the concert- everyone was in very high spirits and it was super fun to see them interact in real life. I also was very impressed by Seungri's Japanese! He is very talented... but...he always confused us with Tokyo... (;___;) "But Seungri... we are Saitama!"

Anyways, the setlist was awesome too! I'm very glad I got to attend their concert (^o^)/

[vanni-bananni]

and here are some k-pop CDs that I got

Shinee- Fire U-Kiss- Distance... Shinee- Everybody Shinee- 1000nen, Zutto Soba ni Ite...

As you can see I got Onew's photo card and if anyone is interested I would trade XD The other CDs were again, used, and super cheap *-*
