I wake up to your sunset

Finally I can confirm this: I'm travelling to Osaka later this month! Actually I'm flying there already on next week's Friday. But for me it doesn't come that soon because I have been planning for it a long time now. My first plan was to go there in February to see EXO's tour but when I found out about this year's MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) being held also in Japan, I decided to this time skip EXO's concerts and attend MAMA instead. I have been dreaming of attending MAMA in Hong Kong for many years and even though I'm not going to Hong Kong, I'm still super excited and happy I got to make this dream come true (at least some part of it) . I have been waiting for a few weeks to know if me and my Japanese friend are able to get tickets for the MAMA because the tickets were "sold" by a lottery system and finally this week I got good news from my friend. I already had my boss's permission so I just had to buy the flight tickets that I ...

Last year I didn't finish this post but this time I managed. So here's a review of 2016: (Once again I used questions that I found from  my friend's blog ) RELATIONSHIPS 1. Did you get a new friend?  Yes, I met really nice people at my internship  company  and during my travels.  2. Did you do something new? Travelled to Malaysia, did an internship, visited new places in Seoul and Osaka, went to see Thai movies and lived in Thailand somewhere else than Bangkok (Laem Chabang). The view from my balcony in Laem Chabang. Even though some days I kinda hated it when I was there but nowadays I often miss it.  3. Were you in a relationship?  Yes and no. Kinda... 4. Tell a couple of the best memories from 2016?   Concerts (EXOluXion in Kuala Lumpur, EXO'rDIUM in Osaka, Dream Concert 2016) & trips to Seoul + my time in Thailand.  5. Did you fight with any of your friends?  ...

A lot has happened during these past 2 months and that's maybe the reason why I feel like the time has gone really fast. I started my school last month and since then I have been travelling to Rauma almost every week. I thought long and hard about getting a new apartment from there but I ended up deciding to just use the bus and not attending all of my classes. Luckily I have a friend in Rauma who has accommodated me whenever I had to stay there overnight.  Thank you  Johanna!  I think it has been really great to stay with her because that way we have been able to spend more time together and really catch up. So far I haven't had that many classes because my 2 courses in the 1st period didn't have many obligatory classes but starting from next week I'll probably have them much more with a couple of new courses. I just hope my friend doesn't get tired seeing me at her home :D I also just want to get these few last courses over with so I can graduate next year. But t...

Firstly I need to say that I don't have any pictures from the actual concerts because Japanese people are apparently REALLY strict about banning taking photos/videos before, during and after the concert. I thought the people at the Dream Concert were strict but they weren't even close! On the 1st concert day in Osaka, while sitting in my seat and waiting for the concert to start and I saw one girl taking a picture of the EMPTY stage with screens that only had the EXO'luXion concert name. Right away one of the security guards walked to her and she was forced to delete the photo while the guard watched her do that and then he gave her a lecture about taking photos etc. After that it was clear: I wouldn't even take my camera and phone out of my bag. The guards even took some of the fan signs etc away... So unfortunately I don't have any pics/videos to proof and show how amazingly perfect the concerts were. But just let me tell you about the whole experience.  I...

In November I did my first trip to Japan, Osaka to be exact. The main reason was that I got tickets to see EXO twice during their 3 concert weekend in Osaka. Another reason for my trip was that one of my friends was an exchange student there so I could spend time with her too after many months. I didn't spend many days there and because the concerts occupied 2 days from my trip, I didn't have so much time for sightseeing etc. I was still very satisfied with my trip because I had a lot of fun with my friend and it was nice to really talk with her after a long time. The concerts were also very awesome and I got to meet a few people so now I have new friends who are just as into Kpop as I am which is great. One of them was actually from Thailand so it's possible I will see her again here in some concert. Because of the limited time I had only time to go to Kyoto to see Torii (the red structures seen in my pictures), part of the city centre and visit Universal Studios....
