GiulyB in Japan 1.0/???
Hello LJ friends!!!
How are you??
I’m still alive!!! And I think that the time has come!
I really need to start writing something about what happened this year! It has been fuuuuull of things (that’s why I’m slowly becoming sad and depressed lately).
I don’t know how much it’ll takes, but I’ll try to not be slow.
Let’s start with the last journey I made.
I’ve visited Japan!!! (>\\\\<)
An 11 days journey (even if 2 of them were needed to fly)!! (From 17th September to 28th September)
I decided to make this journey just the day before I’ve started working this summer. Claudia asked me if I wanted to go there for the Silver Week cause she had some days off (the first time she asked me to go there I still was in France XD), and you know… I really wanted to go cause it was a “now or never” thing, so I decided to buy the flight tickets and then I’ve worked my ass off to make some money (but it worked well so I’m not complaining XD)
Btw! The time to leave arrived and…!
It was the first time I was flying with such a big airplane, ALONE, and for that long (it took almost 20 hours to arrive there and 22 hours to come back - flights were delayed XD), so I was excited/scared/excited/curious/excited/dunno and well… I HAD A LOT OF FUN ON THE PLANES!!!
When I bought the tickets I decided to go with Emirates. Almost all the people I know told me that Emirates was good, and Claudia assured me that the company was excellent, so I didn’t think twice and I booked flight tickets with them. To be honest I made the right choice. To be very honest, I took 4 flights and all of them have been delayed, but I had enough time to change flights, so I don’t really care about it (such a shame for the ones who lost the coincidences :\\\)
Anyway, the food was good, the personnel was loveable and kind (even if the max part of them wasn’t speaking in Italian ahha), the seats were pretty good (with extra pillows, blankets etc) AND THE FIRST PLANE WAS AMAZING *________* There were all the stars on the ceiling. IT WAS SO CUTE ;________;
(Oh yes, I need to warn you that I cried a lot during this journey, so every time I write ;__; I actually watered a bit in real life [Okay, I’m sorry, wordreference is telling me that “watered” is the right one, but I’m a bit perplexed…])
This is how the first flight went:
Left Roma Fiumicino at 22:45 and arrived in Dubai at 6:30am (something like that).
During that flight I’ve watched the Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty” while eating, then I’ve watched Moulin Rouge (I wanted to internally sing the songs) and fell asleep on it. I woke up after 3 hours (SO I DIDN’T SLEEP AT AAAALL) and we were in Dubai *yay*
In Dubai there was the CHAOS!!!! XD
I had to pass the control thing again #byebyewater
Looked for the gate of the next flight and then actually ran over there cause was almost time to get on the other plane.
When I arrive to the gate, it was opened already, so I just gave them my ticket and the second after that we were off on the bus to the plane. On the bus there were Japanese people already. Poor self ;___; I hadn’t sleep, outside was 33° (TOO HOOOOOOT!!!) and I was in that bus silently giggling at myself (you can image the scene XDDD). But, we arrived at the plane and that’s the moment I sang “Bye bye Dubai - See you again” and then I took a picture while I found my seat on the plane.
Second flight:
Left Dubai at 8am and landed in Tokyo Haneda at 23:00 (/Cosplaying Munch’s “Scream”/.)
But hey!!! I did tell you I enjoyed my flight, and I actually 100% enjoyed it.
Started it with a lovely Breakfast (without the eggs/potatoes/sausages - SILLY ME I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS GOOD!!!!) while watching Cinderella (2015). AT THEN!!!! WHILE I WAS WATCHING CINDERELLA I LOOKED ON THE RIGHT AND THERE WAS A GUY WHO WAS WATCHING A JAPANESE MOVIE. WHY AM I SO STUUUUUPID??? So, I’ve started looking for that movies page and I FOUND IT.
That’s when I’ve started watching Japanese movies on the flight.
I’ve started with Assassination Classroom and I’ve actually talked with Suda and Yamada while I was watching the movie XD I’ve started singing “Koro sensation” at the end of the movie (I was obviously singing it internally!!!! Everyone was sleeping at the time).
Then I’ve watched Strobe Edge… FUKUSHI SOTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA >/////////////////////< OMG *_______* So so so good to watch!!! Such a loveable guy ;___; I’d like to write something about this movie, but it’s not the right time, so I’ll keep this argument for another entry XD
After that I had dinner (??) and then I saw all the people writing on some papers that the personnel gave us at the beginning of that flight and I’ve started compiling it WHEN THE PLAIN STARTED TREMBLING REALLY HAAARD!!!! (You have to know that I don’t care if the plane is trembling or not X°D)
I was trying to compile those things when I’ve heard someone screaming of fear O___O (Poor lady… She was seriously scared ;;)
Btw we arrived in Tokyo after 5 minutes and everything was fine.
SILLY ME!!!!!
It took me like 40 minutes to let them check my passport/luggage and such.
When I arrived outside and I saw Claudia I was starting smiling, happy to see someone I knew, when she said: “We have to run, we’re missing the last train!!!!”
NOOOOOOOO. So I ran with her and we charged the suica and then took the first train. We changed like 4 trains and I was like “WOW I’M IN JAPAN, BUT EVERYTHING’S DARK AND I JUST SEE LIGHTS. I WANNA SLEEP ;___;”
I really needed to sleep a bit. When I saw myself at the mirror I had an EEEEW moment because I had two HUGE bags under my eyes (and I NEVER have them).
Btw we went to sleep around 2am and I woke up around 6am AHAHHAHAH
But hey! There the sun was already shining outside and it was totally different from Italy…
Anyway, when Claudia woke up, we had breakfast together (she leaves in a lovely sharehouse) and then we got ready to go!
FIRST DAY IN JAPAN!!!!
While we was on the train we met (by coincidence!!) two italian friends we would have meet that night (we planned to eat out all together for dinner), so when we arrived in Shibuya, we went together to drink a coffee and then I’ve started seen Tokyo with my own eyes ;____;
It was so strange for me to be there, REALLY THERE, and to see all the people and all the skyscrapers ;__; (I live in a very small city, so please understand my feelings XD)
When we were looking for the Disney’s store, on our way we found a Johnny’s Family Club. I was like “OMG REAL JOHNNY’S STUFF *________* Maybe Johnny’s are real for real *______*” (I still have some doubts about that XDDD). Btw I found a flyer of Tama’s new movie and made some pics around *___* All the posters ** ALL THE JOHNNY’S!!!!
After that we went to the Disney’s store, because Claudia had to change the tickets for us and after that we divided from the others and we went to Harajuku!!!
I had to make an uchiwa for Kisumai’s concert.
When we arrived at the uchiwa’s shop… THEY WERE SHOWING A KISUMAI CONCERT ON TV ;_______; (the Kis-My-Journey one XD)
While I was watering a bit - oh, feels ;; - I chose a black uchiwa plus a Wataru kanji, an orange skate and 2 hearts and 2 stars (Watatai colored).
I paid and then while we were walking around Harajuku, we saw a lovely place and we ate something for lunch. I decided to eat just a salad, cause I had the concert in the afternoon and I was scared to feel not good…
After that we went to the LINE’s store *____* As you probably know, I LOVE BROWN… and inside the shop there was this VERY HUGE Brown, so I took a picture with him ** I bought just a keychain and some stickers, but the shop was FULL of AMAZING stuff *_________*
AND THEN… TIME TO GO TO TOKYO DOME HAS ARRIVED ;___;
/All the watery eyes/
When we arrived there I still didn’t believe I would have seen Kisumai. NO no no no no no ><
Btw, Claudia told me that the penlight was super important for the concert, so we made the line for the goods and after 1 hour, passed down the sunlight, I bought my penlight!! I really wanted to buy Yokoo’s KisumaiBear but it was sold out ;___;
I took pictures here and there, fascinated by the whole Tokyo Dome City *_________* (Plus I was looking for all the Yokoo’s fans, and I got excited every time I saw one of them <3)
Then we went in front of the exit of Suidobashi station and we waited for Kiri *___* [She helped me SO MUCH to get a ticket and I’ll forever owe her everything ;__;]
She arrived and I’ve been super extra happy to see her in real life after like.. 4 years?? *___* She’s so sweet and lovely and ;___;
We said bye to Claudia and we divided.
THIS PART OF THE STORY WILL ARRIVE WITH THE NEXT ENTRY, sorry. I’m not teasing you, I just wanna write an entry just for the Kisumai concert XD
After the concert - with uncertain feelings - I went to Shibuya by metro and said bye bye to Kiri on the train (but we organized to meet on the 24th - don’t remember the day sorry ahaha).
When I arrived there (I think it was Shibuya, omg self, you’re brainless XD) I found Claudia and we went with S. and L. to eat Yakitori *____________*
So so so sooooo good!!! I loved it *___*
We talked a lot and had a lot of fun!! And we spoke Italian all night, so it was really good eheheh.
Then we went back to the sharehouse and we went to sleep, because the day after would have been… ENOSHIMA!!!
To be honest the first day has been full of amazing things.
All the people and the city, and the shops, and the colours, and the streets, and the trains, and the food, and EVERYTHING… everything was so good ;__;
I don’t think I can describe the feelings I felt, but… it was just good.
I was feeling good ;__;
How are you??
