Paris in October

Woh, such a long time since the last update.
I haven't even been up to anything.

But, Paris (where I went a month ago), was amazing and everything I expected and more. But then again my expectations was probably not as high / romantic as usual..

I'm quite proud over us, we only took the metro once! And that was to get to the shuttle bus to the airport. We walked all over Paris, for hours and hours and hours on end, and saw so many strange little alleys and shops and people eating baguettes..

Here's some pictures with text!

I was happily surprised over all the amazing graffiti! This was on the ground.

Monseuir Penguin!

No filter or anything, in a nice park somewhere behind the Louvre I believe.

Suddenly along our stroll Notre Dame appeared!

More fun wall art.

Even more! Bad quality, but it was really amazing!

Okay, so I mainly took pictures of street art.

"OMG a place with my name!!"

"OMG what a strange name for a bar!"

Conclusion of the trip was that I neeeeeed to go back! Even the cheapest café au lait was amazing. And so were the people! Nice bunch, them french.

Bye summer, I hate you anyway

This summer might just be the worst summer I have yet to have had. It's been painful, and like walking through syrup. But, now it's September, autumn. And hopefully it'll just go up from here. I'll just cross out the summer months from my memory forever, haha.

My only plan for this autumn is FUN. Having fun, doing fun things, feeling good.

First thing I did was to sign up for.... adult ballet classes!

Yeah!! I've gone to two lessons so far, and it's so so so fun and so so so rewarding. Going from a couchpotato to a ballet class, doing them pliés and twirls and whatnot really does a number on you. My muscles are sore for a week, and when they've just stopped hurting, BOOM, another class. But it's awesome.

I truly truly recommend anyone who reads this and have thought that maybe maybe ballet would be fun, DO IT. You're not too old, you're not too weak/fat/whatever! It's so rewarding!



In other awesome news, my friend exclaimed yesterday that it was time to go to Paris, and I couldn't agree more. So we're going on October 1st, for a few days of heavy smoking and coffee drinking. We won't be caring about the tourist things, so if you have any tips of some nice café with some good coffee, please advice! And my friend wants to eat a lot of food, so if you have any good restaurant tips, please share those too!


The summer might have been shitty but I'm not going to let autumn turn out the same way!

Gothenburgh O'Hoy

So, last Wednesday I hopped on the train with my friend Gabi to go to Gothenburg, for a chance to spend some time with our friend Zara before she goes off to Korea!
It was my first time in Gothenburg, and man oh man, the city! I really really enjoyed it there, and it was in overall just so.. pleasing to the eye. I'm an architecture geek, so all the beautiful houses just pulled my heart strings.

We went to an island a bit outside of Gothenburg, Marstrand, visited Liseberg(a theme park) and Universeum(zoo/museum/thingy) and walked and walked and walked around the city.

Back from Korea

So, on friday night I came back. It was a nice trip, and especially nice to meet some friends I haven't met since the eartquake!

I suck at doing touristy things when touristing, but I did see two statues, and went to Myeoung Dong(the tourist trap of Seoul).
The rest of the time was spent in Hongdae and Dongdaemun (recommended).
I won't write about it really, but if anyone has a question, just shoot!


Anyway, picturees(stuff I bought will be in another entry):

Mandatory wing-shot.

Amongst the malls/markets in Dongdaemun.

Completly legit restaurants.

Early morning in Hongdae.

Insanely true words in the menu of a Swedish-themed restaurant.

Virus, travels and velvet pumps.

 So.. I've been quiet for a while. Biggest reason is the humongous virus my computer got that ate everything. Thankfully I managed to back everything up.. But still, stings a bit.
And the lesser one is that I'm going to South Korea tomorrow, but honestly that have nothing to do with me not blogging, since I haven't really started doing anything yet. I've written a list though! (If you got advice on what to do during a 4day trip to S Korea, please do tell).

Annyway, omg, shoes! Were looking at snaps the other day and this girl was wearing velvet platform pumps and my mind went "WANT!". And wouldn't you know, I found a pair just yesterday! 1890yen from Shimamura, I LOVE THEM.

In Fukuoka

So yesterday we arrived a bit after eleven at night to Fukuoka. Took about 5 hours by Shinkansen(damn that train is fast!).
We have this nasty habit of not booking hotels and stuff before going, so we had to search for a hotelroom in the middle of the night, thankfully we found a place, but just for the night, so today we gotta search for another place. All places we've looked up online are booked for Saturday Sunday so.. Yeah. let's see what happens!


I rock at packing btw, I took with me a good number of everything, skirts, tops, cardigans, panties. But socks and stockings? One pair of each, and I broke the stockings on the trip here, haha.

Instead of the usual religious books found in western hotels,
there was a manga depicting the life of some legendary guy here in Hakata, hahaha

Going south

I caved.
Like almost everyone else I'm gonna go away from Tokyo.
Me, my roommate, my neighbour and my neighbours boyfriend will be going to Fukuoka tomorrow(Thursday) or Friday. It's roughly 1000kms from Tokyo and it's like the only place completly unaffected so far.

I kinda came to realize the events disturbed me more than I originally thought,
today I started to experience earthquakes that didn't exist. If that isn't a sign of stress I don't know what is!

But we'll be back soon, and I'll probably update from Fukuoka too. I hope it's nice.

Trees & legs

No ground breaking news lately.
Well, apart from me going to Sweden on vacation if everything works out as planned!
I'll go and arrive the 30th July and will be back the 13th August.

August seems like it's goin to be fun and foresty, since I'll go to Sweden, and my mother have moved to a village up in the north, and when I come back I will go with some friends to a cottage in the forest of Japan, somewhere around Nagano :D

I'm really happy about going to Sweden on vacation, since I've missed my family and friends quite alot.
I'll be going to three places, Uppsala(For my best friend), Sundsvall(for my father) and a village(for my mother and step dad), I'm going to eat so much I'll die.


My style's been experiencing some changes lately. I still wear pink and cutesy items, but I've started mixing in some more mature things. Maybe not mature in everyone's eyes, but compared to the piggytail-girl I was just a couple of years ago. I'm now looking like a grownup!
I no longer resent black and try to keep it away from myself, but welcome it a bit more, trying to do something more edgy.

The neverdying legtrend of Japan, black leopad tights,
now on Emelie's legs!
Also, the neverdying foottrend of the entire world, converse,
featured on Emelie's feet!

Traveeel!

Woo, I'm proud over myself!
I managed to book and pay for 3 bus tickets, by myself!
Also managed to choose the right dates and times, and see with the people I'm going to if the time is okay for them too XD
I never really do this kind of planned trips, but with the move being so close, I need to plan.

So! Tomorrow, I'll go to Sundsvall, where my father lives, and stay with him until Monday.
If I'm lucky, I might be able to persuade him into buying me some new makeup or something, after all, that'd be great! ^^;;

On Monday, it's off to Uppsala, and stay at Madde's place for a while. Buy the bag(huge travelbag I've wrote about), meet Lollo, and you know. Enjoy Uppsala.

Then, Friday, it's off to Växjö! I've been there once in my life, and my old and wonderful friends Zara and Gabi lives there, since 2 years, and I haven't even visted them! About time!

The following Monday, I'm going back to Uppsala, staying the night, and up to Kramfors again.

One of the best things is; when going to Växjö, I'm changing buses and have a little break in Norrköping, so hopefully Martin will be able to meet up with me at the station <3



I'm currently crossing my fingers, feet, eyelashes, eyes, legs, arms, boobs, everything, for that my laptop is done by tomorrow, and that my glasses arrive tomorrow!
I really want both of them with me on the trip, but I think I can just forget about the laptop.
I'm so mad that I allowed the computer to be left at that place for service. I wanted it to go to "Alina Systems"(like, the biggest computer-geek-fix-things place.), but my mother was all "Noo, this local place has reaally nice decorating!". Yeah, right. I don't care if their curtains match their sofas. It's been over a week, we got in there today, asked about the computer, got the answer "ehhh.. uhh.. we've ordered a new harddrive... don't know where it is though... ehh.."... oh, brilliant!
I really hope for it to cost more over at "red light systems"(the local place. catchy name.), than it would at Alina. Just so my mother can suck on it, haha. Alina said it'd take less than a week, and it'd cost 2000kr including a new harddrive. Red light system didn't even give an estimate of what it'd cost. Or how long it'd take. Gah.
