Japan Holiday 2011 / 2012 - Tokyo

nce one week i'm again back in germany. my japan holiday feels so unreal now. it was my 6th time in japan and we were there from the 29th decemer 2011 - 12th january 2012. we celebrated new year in japan ( it was my very first time to be in a foreign country at new year) and andres birhtday. this time i really could forget all of my stress at home. no houswork, no pet care, no office work - only sleeping, drinking, shopping and eating.

the 14 days in japan felt like 7 or 8 weeks for ne. it was a wonderfull time there!!! i enjoyed everything like hell *hihi*. actually some days before our trip i felt really unwell. i hate flying and i was so afraid of the flight and i also was afraid how japan will be afer the 11th march 2011. it was a strange and unrealistic feeling to go to japan. but it was the right decision and it was one of my best trips to this great country.

the fligh was great -the A380 is awesome. i never had such a quite and relaxing flight like this time. i really don't want to fly in a smaler airplane again :)

cute owls in ikebukuro 

we stayed in ikebukuro in the toyoko inn. i can really recommend you this hotel. ikebukuro is one of my most-liked areas in tokyo. if you like gyaru fashion you have the parco, if you like anime and manga you can go to the animate, if you like food you can visit the sweets paradise and for everything else - visit the sunshine city or the best place on earth - the donki ^^

our first day was lazy - only eating, little shopping and strolling around in ikebukuro.

 yummy!!!

 those strawberrys are so incredible EXPENSIVE!!!

in the late afternoon andre and i went to the sadie tour final in shibuya. the concert was awesome. i had much fun there. ok i was tired because it was the first day after a long flight, but i manged it to stick it out :) but our daily highlight was the "ayumi-hamasaki-fan-car-tuning-show" in front of the meiji shrine in harajuku. after the ayumi hamasaki concert the fans presented their cars - i really never never never seen such cars before. really, japanese fans are totally crazy. but that is a reason why i love japan. i made some pics of the cars but you can see it better in this video :)

i can be tired as hell BUT shopping is always possible :) here my haul from the first day.

 

nails nails nails

since last thurstday andre and i are back from our japan holiday. we spent 14 wonderfull days in tokyo, kyoto and osaka. i met great people and friends and collected lots of new and very important memories.

japan was again totally impressiv and with my next blog post i will start with my holiday report, but first of all i must take a look over all of my and andre pics :)

this post is about my last and my current nails. for japan i wanted a real warm and feminine nailart who fits good to my clothes. the result was awesome!!!! they had the perfect lenght and shape.

i really loved this design but they were to long and i broke two nails in japan. for my next nailart i decided to shorten them and to use a complete different color. actually i don't like short nails but since i saw jenis new and short nails i really start to like this shape of nails :) and this flip/flop blue is so pretty. i really like my current nails too.

christmas nails

i really like themes nails like easter, halloween or christmas nails.

 

 

 

i could not decide which color i should try for my christmas nails - the result is a two color mix. they are ok but i'm not really happy with them.... it didn't came out like i expected. but next week i will get new nails. for my japan holiday i don't want to have christmas nails - but i really don't have any good ideas for my next nails? if anyone of you have some good inspirations for winter or new year nails please let me know it.



here my nails:

this and that

hey girls :)

at the moment my blog is nearly dead - but please don't worry about me - i'm ok. in the last weeks nothting special happend in my life - i'm a bit stressed because of my job and private things and my food allergy is getting worse since some weeks. i'm really pissed at the moment becaue i'm a girl who loves good food so much and since  3 1/2 years i have those fucking problems with food. last week i started with a new basic allergy diet - i must avoid all products with milk and egg and i should try to avoid all food with gluten.... and sugar is also a big fucking enemy for me!!!!  but i want to try this new diet - maybe it will help me..... but it's really hard, especially during the christmas time or holidays. 

i really don't want to avoid everything during my next japan holiday. only 2 weeks left - i really can't wait to be back in japan and to spend a great time there with my boyfriend and my friends.i really should make my special diet also in japan but to be honest - during this importantl time i want to enjoy my life as much as i can. to be in japan is really precious for me - i love this country and i love the food there, also all those sweet thinks like crepes, taiyaki or anpan... my whole quality of living is restricted because of the food allergy. but during my holiday in japan i want to have a good time and i want to eat things i like. ok i will not eat every day forbidden food but sometimes i want to eat good things. i really hope someday i can eat normal again - and i hope a doctor can cure my allergy.....

i know i'm 100 % weak when i see such delicous things:
 

 

but enough of my pissed mood :)

what else ..... hm i really don't have special pics to share with you at the moment but yesterday i started with wraping christmas presents and my cute little cat jackie helped me - oh he is so cute and i love him soooooooooooo much!!!

and here a pics from last week in my office - like you can see in my office i only wear a very light make up - i think i look very young at this pic :)

new nails - love love love

since last saturday i have new nails and this time i really really really love them!!!! they went out perfect - i can't stop looking at them. christina did a great job, perfect colors and pretty stonework.

actually i wanted a feather nail art design but she told me that it won't come out like i want and so i changed my mind. i always have a plan b when i go to my nailartist, because i'm to much inspired of japanese nailart and in germany or in whole europe it's really hard to find nail artitst who can make nails like i want :)

here my inspiration

 

 

and here my new nails

  

short trip towards istanbul heavy pics

two weeks ago miri and i went for a short trip towards istanbul. we still had one of our free fligths left and we both were never in istanbul - so it was an easy decision - short trip, cheap trip, sun and good food.

we lived in the old center of istanbul and it was awesome. the mosque sultanahmed was only 3 minutes away from our hotel and lot of shops were really close.

souvenier shops

 

like you can see - we had great weather, cold but sunny and a clear blue sky. we went to 3 bazars but we only bought tea, sweets, soaps or handicraft goods. we saw many many designer bags or wallets but all fake :(

 











i was a bit shocked because of all those stray cats (i saw cats everywhere!!!!) but they were not as squalied as i thought and some of them really liked me.

 

 

 

 

it was a nice trip, we had gread food and my new boom is turkish coffee, tea and sweets and sure kebab ^^ *yummy*.
