My flight to Shanghi was ok. It was long at my plane was really packed together. I felt squished. But Shanghi was cool! I only saw he airport of course. I felt really weird because I was so much taller than everyone else, even the men.

My flight was delayed by one hour. That sucked. I was worried because I knew I had people waiting for me at the airport, at least Tomomi. When I finally arrived I had to fill out some forms but the security was really nice and most of them could speak english. I still felt like a gaijin. Gomenasai, nihongo chotto wakarimasu!

When I got through security Tomomi was waiting there with her daughter Yui. I was so tired and pretty much forgot any Japanese I knew. It was awkward. But we walked to her car trying to make small talk and it was alright. When we got to the car, I realized her whole family was here and I kind of felt bad because it was so late. We got to their house at around 12:30 pm. I took a shower and went to sleep.

I have been taking lots of photos and will try to upload some today.

Anyways, for you who do not know me, I am OBSESSED with Japan. Ok not in a super creepy way >_> but you know..obsessed. I love everything about Japan. Well almost… Their language and culture. And land. I have wanted to go since grade three, when I could sit with my toes together better than everyone else in the class And now I am going!

So this is what this blog was made for! I wanted to try to start early to get some followers but that clearly didn’t pan out… But I PROMISE I will be blogging everyday about my glorious 21 days of Japan. SO keep checking back!

皆さん話題隙ですよ！！！＜３

P.S. I got a camera charger! *yayy* so now I can also take my own photos and post photos of the stuff I have made..which also means an update to my etsy shop. So check in soon ok? <3

Today Nathan and I went to see a movie at my friends theatre room in her apt. We saw the movie “Everything is Illuminated” from 2005 starring Ellijah Wood.

I must say that I have never ever heard of this movie before. but it was really good! It is based off of the novel written by Jonathan Safran Foer. It is about Jonathan, who goes to try and find a women in the Ukraine who helped save his grandfather during the Holocaust. I think that this film was super intresting and would recommend it to anyone who is intrested in that period of history.

Anyways, on my way home now.

またね～

おやすみなさい＜３

No, today I want to introduce you all to a little friend of mine. Her name is Aiko (you can once again see my obsession with Japan) and she is a chihuahua crossed with a pomeranian. So cute huh?

あいこは犬です。それ輪sかわいいですね？あいこちゃんはだいすきですよ！

Sorry for the poor photo, I’ll fix it tomorrow! promise. ごめなさい～

But the sushi was super delicious. おなかいっぱい！ It was all you can eat so we ate so much that it was difficult to even walk after

Anyways, I should really get going to sleep because I need to work tomorrow!

おやすみなさい！

今, I was just sitting on facebook, creeping photo albums and playing on apps and saw this link to some photos from a “Dolly Kei Party”. I decided to click it because I was intrigued and it look like some sort of “Japanese” thing. (so what?..im obsessed!)

WOW! It looks like one of the most unique events to have attended and I wish I could have experienced it. The attire reached my expectations and beyond. すごい~　My favourite is a photo this girl and she has her hair all done up with a boat in it. Wait not just a boat, and ship! It is really impressive. They deffinetly mixed up the lolita style with the vis. kei style and I really like it.

I hope I will get the opportunity to do/go to something like this when I make my visit. Check it out!

Like these fun little magnets that I just put up on the market this morning. Did anyone else every play with perler beads when they were little? I always liked making random designs and then watched as my mom magically melted them together. Anyways, I have created this adorable set of three magnets that would look adorable on any magnetic surface. I made a popsicle, Ice Cream (who dosn’t love ice cream?), and my favourite; a cupcake.

Anyways, check em out on Etsy!

Well here it goes, in this blog I will talk about things that I make (which you can also check out on my Etsy Store), things that I find interesting in my city(Beatiful Vancouver), and trends that I think are cool.

If you should know… I am from Edmonton, AB but moved to Vancouver to attend the Art Institute. Unfortunatly, that did not go as planned so I am just sort of doing my own thing until I decide to go back to school.

Anyways, I hope you all keep checking in.

Welcome to my world.
