To Do (because ive been at this internet cafe for an hour typing emails and my back hurts so this is all you get kind-of-thing)

1. Communal bathing at the Dogo onsen (this is actually going to happen * is scared)
2. Dress in a kimono
3. Drink a ‘Karupisu/ cowpiss’
4. Omg! Go iceskating!
5. Eat fermented soybeans and refrain from throwing up. I’ve heard ‘natto’, or the Japanese vegemite equivilant does that to people.
6. Make a pavlova
7. Go to a school festival and pound rice with a hammer and melon and sugar to make mochi, a taste sensation that will be my mince pie replacment this year! :D
8. Eat takoyaki, okonimiyaki (again, cause its amazing), macha chocolate, and Eel.
9. Say a speech infront of a supposidly 300+ crowd… D:
10. Go to an Internet Cafe. Why are your internet cafes so lame, Australia? Over here you pay alot but you get free access to a softserve and slushie machine, a manga library and your own little private booth complete with two computers and a couch!! Just wow.
11. Make friends so I never spend another Saturday in the internet cafe being a forign loner
12. Buy a killer pair of converse
13. Learn to spell without a spell check, because I have no idea how to do that kind of thing on these computers.
14. Try as many awesome drinks as I can (Peach and mango soda, ‘Royal milk tea’, Apple iced tea, Grape fanta, caramel and strawberry tea, Fanta Zero, Pepsi Zero, Greentea flavoured coke, Azuki bean pepsi, cucumber pepsi (allegedly)
15. chopsticks - continue rocking them as usual. 

15 ways to subtly bother people in everyday situations.

justalittlewhile:

itsblitz:superherosex:-tragickingdom:peirceizzle:

1. Stand with your back to the door while on an elevator.
2. Occasionally look at someone’s forehead as you are speaking to them. He/she will notice and feel incredibly insecure.
3. Right after a handshake, wipe your hands on your pants/shirt.
4. Never breathe through your nose. NEVER! Always breathe through your mouth. AT ALL TIMES.
5. Hold open the door for someone a distance away so they’ll start trotting faster.
6. If male, when using a public bathroom, use the urinal directly next to another person no matter how many free ones there are.
   
7. Start a conversation with the person sitting next to you on the bus, or train, or in line at the grocery store, anything.
8. Wherever you are, ask for directions to the Washington Monument in a foreign accent.
   
9. If you’re in a quiet room with lots of people: cough/sniff at random intervals. For some reason this drives people absolutely insane.
10. Look up in a public place. Watch as people join you in looking at nothing in particular.
11. Stare. When someone isn’t looking up or not looking at you, just stare at them. No blinking at all. Just stare. When they look up at you, look at something else and pretend it never happened. Bonus points if you look back at them with a “What the fuck is wrong with you?” look.
12. Find a public bathroom that’s only for use by one person at a time, and stand outside. Never go in. Just form a line.If people try and go in, Look very pissed off and complain that they cut you. Bonus Points if you can get a line to form for the bathroom.
13. Lean against a wall outside a restroom, reading a book. Whenever it looks like someone is going to enter, look up and make eye contact with them, then go back to reading.
14. Make a low pitched humming tone as you pass people on the street.
15. Don’t swing your arms when you walk.

Haha, I love being annoying.

A week in Japan: week one

‘WTF’ of the week:

Most people could have stepped out of one of those teen magzines where girls ride bikes in heels, holding bunches of rainbow coloured balloons through fields. Throw in a unicorn or two as you wish.

‘R.E.S.P.E.C.T.’ of the week: 6 lessons of school everyday, 7 on fridays. Then club activities, then ride your bike home in the dark for 10k, then do homework, get to sleep at 11, wake up the next day at 5 and ride your bike to school in the dark for 10k. On Saturdays go to cram school, on sundays go to church. You people are so disiplined you make Australian kids look like total ingrates.

‘hmm, how intreguing’ of the week: This poster can be found everywhere in Tokyo. My best guess is it’s a ‘have you seen this man?’ poster. That’s what I’m hoping anywho.

In short: loving life　＾＿＜　じゃ、　まった！

yeah, I am nervous.

About going to Japan tomorrow. but I’ve kindof been thinking about it on a superficial level, as if it’s not really going to happen to me. Only sometimes do I dip below the surface to the reality of it- before promptly scrambling back out. Mostly I just picture meeting awesome, awesome people from around the world and then being the only blonde, oddly-uniformed girl in the school. attractiveness and ability to speak decipherable language still to be confirmed. Taking heaps of baths and eating alot of rice, and doing lots of sign language to get my point across will be my life as of now and it’s going to be gorgus!

I’ve been wearing my fugly school socks and my fugly old underwear due to all my socially acceptable gear is packed away. aaah such is the traveling process.

On a side note the weirdest photo I took of my last day at school today was of Camille stroking my hair and [presumably, idk it is a photo] wispering ‘Bambinooo’ in the creapiest of fashions.

Anywho.

I may keep this somewhat-blog updated via internet cafes for the next 3 months. I may not. Who knows? Not me, that’s fo sho. But I’d imagine it’s even more fo sho that you don’t know. SO HA!

Love and R.E.S.P.E.C.T. to you all. Be sure to be living the schweet life while I have my interlude from normality as I know it. I’ll leave you with this because it is the Bee’s Knees:
