Day 330 ~C2 returns~

Day 329 ~Argo f*k urself~Day 329 ~Argo f*k urself~
I had some weirdly nice dreams (I miss dreaming dreams so much. I wonder why in Japan I do not see dreams as often as I used to at home) so it is understandable that I overslept Japanese class XD
As it was windy and cloudy and rainy outside I stayed at home as it was the perfect weather to watch Twilight XD Honestly speaking I have no idea on what $120mio were spend in production of this movie.. but I have finished the twilight saga and can now openly say that I feel bad for Robert and Kristin for being stuck in these roles for so long. I think both of them (and mostly Robert has proven it with other movies) that they can do much better, but I guess it was a stepping stone for their future careers.
After finishing twilight I went to meet Tumbo4ka as he was so nice as to drive me to a shopping mall as I wanted to do some more omiyage shopping and he was planning on watching a movie. We got separated after the first shop XD And actually it was much better than having him hanging around saying “take your time” in a tone that makes me hurry up on one hand and on the other – makes me wanna hit him a bit too hard (evil I) so I called him to confirm what time we are meeting for dinner and movie and went on my shopping spree by myself. If I were to live in Japan and if I were too have more money I would have bought so much amazing stuff!
But I had to limit my urges a great deal. I love shopping for presents!!! I love choosing presents for people I care about. It gives me a great pleasure and if I am usually stingy about buying stuff for myself I do not mind spending a bit extra when it comes to dear to my heart people.
So once again I was in a good mood) so I let Tumbo4ka choose a place to have dinner. We ended up in sushi place, I was not very thrilled, but it could’ve been worse XD
I can say for sure that any illusion that I had for him are long long gone and I enjoy being friends, however even for “friends relationship” he surprises me sometimes. After the dinner he picked up the bill and said that it was his treat and naturally I have objected the idea. so to make him look good I let him pay inside the store (so that people could see that he is being a nice guy treating a gaijin), but stepping out the store I gave him back my share. I was not surprised that after declining it once humbly he actually took my money I knew that he would as he is far from being a gentleman even if he is trying to pull off such an act. I was surprised that after taking my money he actually counted it… I could only smile))) I know that there could be a possibility that he was worried that I have given him too much, but I knew that I have given more (cause I did not have the exact amount) and he did not notice it.
The deal is that I do not mind paying for myself. And as I do not like to owe people money/favors it comes naturally to me that going out for dinner with a friend I would pay for myself. But if a person says that he is treating me and then takes my money - the situation feels a bit laughable to me. If it were a girl I would understand, but I would expect a guy to have a more firm character about such things. Well, in the end it does not matter)))
One more point originally he was planning to watch a Japanese movie about Edo period. I said from the very beginning that I would not watch it and would go for another one. In the end he decided to watch movie of my choice –Argo.
It was not as bad as I have expected it to be. Ben Affleck did a more or less decent job. And as for me it was definitely better than Edo themed movie XD
I also found out that “Kyo koi ga hajimemasu” was made into movie with actors that I like so I really want to see it before I leave.
So for December I truly want to watch Hobbit, les Miserables and Kyou koi… everyone is being really excited about skyfall, but as I am not a fan I find myself a bit indifferent and would join but without any special delight.

Day 328 ~***Hunting~ Day 328 ~***Hunting~
It was a fun day despite being very dump, grey and rainy.
The bus tour was very nice indeed. At first we stopped by the winery and after a short sightseeing course we were able to enjoy tasting all kinds of wine without any record XD many people got drunk right away! I tasted about 10 different wines, but was trying not to overdo it cause I barely had any breakfast^^
Next stop was in the apple garden. There we could go apple hunting and eat as much as we wanted, however if you were thinking about bringing some home , you had to buy a special bag/net which you could fill with the apple you were picking from the trees directly. I decided it was fun (and apples were really good and cheaper than in supermarket) so I bought one bag/net and picked some apples. When I brought the basket back and a grandpa took it to pack for me I saw him struggling with pushing some more apples in my net. It was so sweet of him. I was trying to convince him that the ones I picked up I s enough, but he was no willing to give up. In the end he was not able to push those apples in the net (laws of physics have proven to be out there for reason) so he just gave me it in a separate bag. By this time it started raining quite heavily so we retreated to the dining hall for some bbq aka yakinikku. Actually we were able to finish our portion (even meat) cause we had enough apples and just food and drinks. After a filling lunch we went to the outlet mall in Karuizawa (considered to be a very fancy town to live in )
Here we actually got separated from each other, which I did not mind at all. I spent about 30 minutes in Tefal store… I know… I am crazy, but when I saw those awesome dark blue kitchen sets of frying pans and pots I could not resist the temptation to step into the store to have a closer look. In general I decided to avoid all bags/shoes stores cause it would have been too painful for me as I love cute bags and shoes , and in Japan those types are in every single store!
Instead I concentrated on possible souvenirs. And I must say that I have spend quite a lot there… But I hope that people whom I am bringing all that stuff will like it at least a little bit.
So after having a very tasty ice cream I returned to the bus in a good mood. The evening was relaxing.

Day 310 ~UPD~

Day 308-9 ~Sick leave~

Day 307 ~Walk in Tokyo~
Day 307 ~Walk in Tokyo~
Mornign hours I spent wondering around Asakusa, visiting Sky tree city. The waiting time to get inside was smth like 2 h, so I just skiped this elevator trip and headed to Ueno. I am not a fan of Sky tree.. everyone is trying to make it a new symbol of Tokyo, but for me Tokyo Tower will always be the only recognizable symbol.
Ueno was nice. I like the area a lot. Flowers on lily pond were all gone, but it was still pretty. Then I also had a walk in ameyoko street. And here I would like to talk a bit about Japanese service. In any store in Japan (either 100 yen or fancy boutigue) you are treated like a great master regardless whether you are wearing old jeans or designer clothes. In one of the stores a girl came up to me when I was looking at earrings. She did not expect me to speak Japanese and solemnly in Japanese she was explaining me about their products. And I enjoyed this talk – I did not get a feeling that I am being forced to buy anything like in our culture. I got the feeling that I am being listened too. I described what I would like, what type, what colors I like etc and the suggestions from the staff side was very accurate. I hate shopping –the agony of choice is one of the reasons for that- but while talking with that girl I spend about 40 minutes picking out earrings and hairpins and I must say I enjoyed it. The girl was really good, she was able to make me feel pretty –and that is quite a tough task for a sales person. So I would not mind shopping at that store more often if I get a chance.
After buying some stuff I headed for Kita senju where Bee’s event was supposed to take place.
There was a small parade with orchestra as we marched towards the riverside for the main event. On the way I got to talk with some Bee’s friends. For a while I was walking and talking to this nice guy. On the cross road we saw an old guy lying near the road and his bicycle nearby. Nice jap guys thought that oldman was dead, but it turned out that he was simply drunk XD but nevertheless they called ambulance and the three of us and the drunken were waiting for ambulance to arrive. I will take a moment and once again make a comment that I believe that it is much easier to go to the hospital on your own rather than wait for ambulance to come XD but Japanese were waiting. In the meantime the oldman woke up and continued drinking sake right on the ground. He was amused to see a foreigner standing around esp when guys teased him saying that I am not a foreigner but a Japanese. Old guy suggested that I look much like “a person from some country, some country like Bangladesh“ (which amused me), then he complemented on my looks, then confessed his eternal love and finally proposed XD While considering such a generous offer and having a few good laughs with guys we saw an ambulance approaching the scene (I checked the watch – 10 minutes have passed since the time we called), approaching , approaching and passing right by! We were waving at it, but as the car passed right by us, we thought that maybe it was heading to some other location. We waited for another 5 minutes. The oldman came back to his senses and we decided to leave it as it is. Fater another 5 minutes when we already left the scene, ambulance called us back XD the car that we saw indeed was the one that we requested, but driver was confused with directions, so he simply speeded away from us XD That was the end of the confession.
The main event was very interesting. All the colorful kites in the bright blue sky with the bells and other musical instruments tied to them. You can check the photos on facebook. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere) I stayed not to late as I was already feeling tired and feverish. So I excused myself with bee and headed to the final stop –Tokyo Tower.
I fell in love with it. I did not like Eiffel tower at all, but somehow Tokyo tower was much more impressive.
I stayed there as long as I could enjopying the night view of Tokyo and then hurried to bus stop. On the way back i started reading manga… a passenger nearby has finished two volumes while I was not even done with half of the first volume… kanji and fever is not the best combination for text comprehension XD… Anyways these two days were truly enjoyable for me!

Day 306 ~Ghibli~
Day 306 ~Ghibli~
The scheduled days off were nice.. at least the first two…
I came to Tokyo with the intent to complete 4 items on my to-do-in-Japan list. I was able to complete 3 and last one is rescheduled for my next visit).
The first one was Ghibli museum. I am a big fun of Ghibli studio anime, therefore I truly enjoyed this trip. First of all Mitaka – the area where museum is located is very family-friendly. There is a large park and with “Tokyo Green” initiative there were many additional sightseeing for me to do.
Museum itself was mysteriously magnificent. And their motto “let’s lose our way, together!” had the right feeling. Unfortunately you cannot take photos inside (and I think it is not about secrecy but rather time – if I could I would have stayed another hour there to take tons of photos!) but the interior design was very well thought of – windows with movie themed pictures, nice Victorian style chairs and cabinet, neko bus for the kids (no one above 5 years old is allowed T_T) etc etc. compared to some other places that i have been I did not regret paying 1000 JPY for a ticket!
~
In the eve I wanted to fulfill item #2 – Alice in wonderland restaurant visit, but because of all the Halloween parties, it was completely booked T_T so next time we (by “we” I mean a certain friend of mine) will book a table beforehand. Instead we went to a nice Thai restaurant.
After dinner I was convinced to start reading manga in Japanese to get used to kanji and so I bought my first manga book ever. Currently anime of same title is airing and so I thought it would be nice to follow it as I like the drawing style and “white and fluffy” storyline.
And then I crossed out another item form my list – stay in capsule hotel. I stayed in capsule hotel in Asakusa –it was relatively cheap, clean and nice –plus: I was the only girl on the entire floor. After taking ofuro on the rooftop and enjoying the view of asakusa and skytree and read manga for some time and went to sleep.

Day 206 ~Random~

I have troubles rebooking my flight, but does it really matter when some people have it much worse…

А слова барменші Наталії Коваль про те, що Оксана пішла в ту фатальну ніч з бару з Краснощоком, а до того - погодилася на інтим відразу з декількома чоловіками, спростував її власний чоловік, який також працює офіціантом «Рибці». «Думаю, вона просто образилася на Оксану - вона їй не виставила сухарики, а Макар, йдучи з бару, показала їй фак», - вважає Катеринчук.

I do not really follow what is going on in Ukraine, but when I first heard news about this case I was shocked like the rest of Ukraine.
Last time when I read witness report of Koval I was wondering how much of the actual truth she was saying.
I know that some girls are quite easy-going, or even just easy. I can believe that girl can even have sex with several guys pretty much at the same time willingly. I can even imagine that a girl can try to blackmail guys for fake rape. BUT! It does not give the right to suffocate this girl, bring her to dumpster and set her on fire!
That time when Koval’s statement was describing the deceased as pretty much a whore and in the same time the offenders as white and fluffy. I thought smth was way off. Could she being threatened? Or bribed? But being mad at the poor girl? Seriously??? Are you even sane??? Woman, if those guys get out they might hurt somebody again and be sure that they can get away with anything... there is no way you settle your issue with the girl by testifying in murderers’ favor. I just do not see how!!!

Day 205 ~TOEIC~

***
I have received my TOEIC score. I was surprised to see that I got the perfect score! 990 out of 990. I was aiming for 950 (and secretly hoping for 970-980), but I got perfect golden score!
Of course I have made mistakes, but as scoring is based on total percentage (I guess it is - no clue about actual scoring process) I was able to reach the top!
I know that TOEIC is actually a lame English test that nobody outside Japan cares about, but it still feels good)))

***
In the eve we went to C2's farewell party.As usual drinking and eating. I think only me and my German boss wanted to go out for he second party XD so we had to go back home -_- Japanese in countryside are just no fun as drinking buddies.

I need to find some courage to apologize...

It was another quiet, very quiet weekend for me… reading materials for my thesis, sleeping, watching movies. From the highlights- I watched Sherlock BBC version of 6 episodes and Northanger Abbey. Oh my dear Jane Austen! I looove her works… movies are not usually that good as the most interesting for me is too actually read and enjoy her classy English, cause unfortunately all her love stories have a happy-ending, which is good but hardly believable)
