Kyoto

after our five days in tokyo we travelled to kyoto. i'm a huge fan of kyoto! i deeply love this city because for me this is japan. tokyo is cool but besides all those modern fashion, anime, manga or music stuff i'm really interested in japanese culture and cultural places. for me kyoto is a perfect mix of all my interests. it's calmer there, the people are more relaxed and more communicative. we enjoyed it so much to stay some days in kyoto.


we lived in the j-hoppers hostel near the kyoto station http://j-hoppers.com/. i can really recommend this hostel. it was clean, modern and the rooms were bigger than in tokyo. it was really comfortable there and cheap :)

Asakusa

this year i lived in asakusa near the famous senso-ji http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sens%C5%8D-ji

i really like this temple area, especially the nakamisa-dori ( this is the shopping street from the entrance gate to the big temple.) i love it to take a look into all those tiny shops and i love the food there. 

it was my 3rd time to visit senso-ji and it's alway great and interesting :)  if you have time and you are in tokyo please go to asakusa. it's really nice there and you can find cheap food. near asakusa-bashi station there are many deco shops for decoden, nailart and jewelery :)

japan report part 2

on our second day naraku and me met our friend janine in shibuya for a girls shopping day :) we bought many many nice clothes and it was a great day :) i think the best was our puri session (you can see our puris in my last post).

janine and me after our shopping tour in our beloved shibuya 109

we spend lot of time in 109 but to be honest is was a bit annoying this time :) ahhhhhhhh such loud music, to many people.....  but we find great clothes. i really love the cecil mcbee store. it's my favorite brand and i found some nice clothes. the liz lisa store was also really really cute. but i don't like thie chemical rose scent. it smells so fake.

 

purikura part 1

thank you for all those nice comments about my my last post. i try to post every second day and i will rotate the posts (report about my trip and purikuras). 


this year i mutated not only into a donkiholic - also into a purikuraholic. damn! i spend much time in those machines but i love it so much. if i had a purikura machine at home i would make pics every day. i can't get enought of them :)

the quality of the puris i will show you here is not really good (sorry -_-') but i scanned them and because of this they loose quality. but i think they are still ok to post them here ^^



here some purikura from day 1 in japan

japan report part 1

today i will start with my japan report 2010 :)


this year i went to japan with my boyfriend andre, with my friend naraku (it was her second time in japan), with my friend dennis (japan newbie) and sven, the guitarist of andres band (also a japan newbie). we flight with air china and we had a stopover in peking.

music and concerts

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh i'm in a real good mood today :) after my housework i went to the new shopping mall in ludwigshafen (rheingalerie) :) yes shopping again. i'm not tired of shopping but i'm kind of full ^^ but this post is not about my shopping day, it's about music. 


since japan my love for my favorite band heidi. is bigger than before. i went to a event in shibuya o-east and i had a wonderfull time with my boys. the new single LOOP is great. this is definitely my personal song for my japan trip 2010. it's again a song for the cute anime "kaichou wa maid sama" - but this time it's the ending theme.

i really really hope that heidi. will come to europe next year! i don't want to wait sooooooooo long to see them again.


but i should not cry :) next month andre and i will go to the luna sea concert in bochum. this is a real old band but the music is still important for me and many many j-rock artitst were inspired from luna sea. i always thought that i will never see luna sea live, but this year is the year of j-rock concerte surprises. first gackt now luna sea :)


this is my favorite luna sea song

and finally i got real good news today. girugämesh will come back to europe next year and this time i will go 100% to two concerts for sure!!!!. one concert is not enough, especially when they play only 1 hour! i'm so happy!!! i could not see them this in japan so it's perfect that they will some early next year :)

tadaima :) i'm back and i have new nails

tadaima :)


since last friday i'm back from japan. because of my job i was really busy this week and i had no time to write anything here. but i'm fine and next week i will start to blog about my 3 weeks in japan.


i had a great time in japan. i visited interesting cultural places, i visited many many shopping malls and arcades, i met nice people - old friends and new friends and i shopped and ate like hell. my suitcase and my handluggage were sooooooo heavy!!! but i had luck and nobody told me to pay overweight. my suitcase had 29 kilo!!!  i sent 2 packages home and my handluggage had 10 kilo. i bought many needful and more nedless things..... like always :)


but i was really happy to come home. i missed my family and my pets so much. this was the first time that stayed 3 weeks away from home and it was too long for me. 2 weeks are perfect but 3 weeks - no not again. but it was a good experience for me. now i know it ^^


now, after one week at home i start to miss japan a bit. damn!!! shopping in germany is sooooo boring. whats wrong with the winter shoes in germany? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sooooooooo ugly :( i'm still in the japan fashion mood and it's hard to accustom myself again to the german fashion world..... 

 

 some things i bought i japan :) 

can you find  jackie? omg!!! he is so fat!!! my mother gave him to much food. now he looks more like a little fur ball than a cat. but he is still my baby and i'm so happy to have him back. 

 my big baby

and i have new nails. this monday i went to christina to try some of my new jewelery nail stickers from donki. here is the result.

 

i tryed diffrent colors for a good autumn style. the nail stickers are great!!! but i'm curious when i will start to loose the stones ^^

that's all for today - you can read my reports about japan next week ^^

conny

countdown :)

good morning :)


i'm soooooooooooooooo excited and nervous. in 10 hours i will sit in the airplane and i will fly to my second home - japan. yesterday and this mornin i packed everything. i'm more than ready for my holiday. i will spend 3 weeks in japan with my boyfriend andre and with lovely friends (naraku, dennis, sven, miri, sarah and i will meet my little wanze there too) 


i will stay in tokyo, kyoto and matsuyama :) i have a full schedule with things i want to do :) whate else ^^


this will be my last blogpost for the next 3 weeks. i don't write report during my holiday but when i'm back at home i will show you many many pics.


..... the only thing that makes me a bit sad is, that i must leave my baby jackie at home :(  but my mother and my neighbours will keep an eye of him.

jackie want to escort me :)

we read us in 3 weeks again :)

new nails

since tuesday i have new nails. i'm so happy!!!!! the last days before i got my new nails were horrible! but now i feel complete again.

but i'm a bit sad because they are sooooooooooooo short now .  i want to avoid that a nail will break during my japan holiday - so this time i was wise and let christina shorten them....... but after my holiday i will let them grow again. my nail stylist have a new gel especially for long nails. at the moment she try it and if this gel works i can have long nails again :)


ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it sounds that i don't like my  new nails ^^ no no no i love them. the color and the pattern is great :) (but if they were longer it would look better hihihi)


here my new nails

 we used a glitter berry gel. my nails sparkle so pretty in the sunlight.

 

skip beat and my nails

two weeks ago i bought the current mangas from skip beat (vol. 15 and 16). i love this manga (and anime) soooooooooo much and i hate it to wait always so long to get a new manga (and maybe season 2).


i saved also vol. 14 and last weekend i could read 3 mangas in a row. and what should i say :) i'm again mega hooked with this story!!!!! 


i was so exited during i read the mangas becaus of all those pseudo love storys with ren, shotarao and now this strange "beagel" reino ^^ ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh much fun but now i must wait again to read it......


i could read the scans online ,but i really don't like it. i love it to lay in my bed or sofa and read a manga :)


does anyone of you read this manga too? which pairing do you prefer? i'm an 100% kyoko X ren fan ^^ 

 this pic is sooooooooooo hot!!! yes yes yes kyoko and ren *LOVE*

next topic :)


tomorrow i will get new nails  - FINALLY!!! i never looked so grubby like in the last days..... to clean my house is not good for my nails..... ok ok my nails are very long at the moment but i don't want short nails :(

monster hand :(

i can't wait untill it's tomorrow 16.30!!!! but i must shorten my nails. this time the break hurts damn much o.O.i really feel ashame to show my right hand - i look like a crummy!!!

my next nails will be deep red / black with a net pattern. something like this:

i will show you the result in the next days :)
