(I realized that deviantart is quite unpractical when I want to show people my photographs, so I am working on a solution, in the meanwhile the page is under construction~

New bike! Going to Sefa-Utaki
1 min read
Today I bought my new bike!
It feels great since I now have my own mode of transport to get around on this island.
I also have a basket in the front so that I can get groceries. ^___^
On friday there is a public holiday, so my friend and I are going to make sandwiches and bike down to Sefa-Utaki.
It's a very sacred place and a spot to renew once spirit and energy, so I hope it will be a great trip.
This week has been so much better, because of the holiday we got less homework and since we had a big test last week and a big test at the end of next week we mostly have review work to do.

Getting Used to Japan
5 min read
Hello, it's been quite a while. Sorry for the extreme lack of updates!
First I would like to thank all new watchers, for all of the favs and all encouraging words I have received these past months.
During the summer I was in midtransition towards moving to Japan. ( I had to clear out my old room, fit my life's belongings inside one small suitcase, survive my part-time job so that I had extra spending money, say good bye to friends, study for my placement tests, etc.)
At the end of September I said good bye to my parents and my boyfriend while crying like a baby. I put my ass on a plane which after London and Hong Kong took me to Naha, Okinawa, Japan. I'll be staying here untill august next year so that I have plenty of time to develop my Japanese. My experiences so far have been really varied. Some cultural clashes have been really amusing and fun while others have been a little harder to deal with. (I've been having real trouble finding dark bread for example. ^^')
I don't really have that much energy these days since life here has been really draining. To start with I barely had time to land before I was notified that I would write my Japanese proficiency test the morning after. Needless to say the 2 days of car+plane travel and jet lag (I couldn't sleep that night either) took it's toll on me. I royally screwed my placement test, but I got my required course level in the end. I can't say that it made me relax though, I felt like a failure, and I also got angry about how the information regarding the test had been handled. It didn't stop there either, there was also a lot of confusion regarding my schedule and courses the first few weeks. Once again information had been too scarce. Now the confusion has been settled, instead I'm trying to survive the workload I've been given. I've always been used to stress, I wouldn't have survived the extreme workload my high school program gave me otherwise, but these days I just don't have it in me. I am constantly tired with headaches, and I'm also seeing signs of the constant heartburn I had during high school coming back.
Things are looking down a little. To be truthful I miss home a lot. The first week was the worst, which I expected, but now after 2 months it's resurfacing again. At least I have one of my best friends with me at the same university. I don't know what I would do without her. I miss everyone in Sweden so much that it hurts. At least my boyfriend will visit me during the holidays and his birthday in January, so he is kind of my lantern in the dark. He has always been my lantern in the dark. ^^
Of course I know that this is a great opportunity, I worked damn hard to get here after all, so I am trying to make the best of it. There are som really great people here and I am also looking forward to going to Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, (I want to photograph the whale sharks! ;;3;; ) I've been trying a lot of weird interesting foods and I simply LOVE the ramen served in a restaurant close to my university. I guess it just takes time a and a lot of courage to become comfortable in a whole new culture half the world away from your loved ones. I'll work really hard to make sure that I can remember this as a rewarding life-experience. After all, I'm in Japan, the land of the rising sun. There are a lot of adventures to be had here! (^-^)
As for updates I can't promise any regular activity since I don't know when I will be having free time. (It is currently in the middle of the night here and I actually need to go to bed, but I feel that I need to finish writing this.) I actually have some pictures and cosplays since June that I will upload when I find the time.
Through my university club I've been given the opportunity to meet Japanese cosplayers, so I hope it will go really well. I also ordered business cards so that they can get my contact details for their pictures etc. I only photograph for fun, but I guess it is practical to have these cards, though it feels weird. Business cards are generally important in Japan, so I guess it can't hurt. When I receive my business cards I'll show you guys! ^^
(There might be a slew of spelling and grammatical errors, it is after all in the middle of the night.)
Feel free to message me if you have any questions- Ó3Ò

Jar of Clouds- Out in the rain!

Out to photograph (jarofcloudscosplay.deviantart.…) Jar of Clouds soon!
Mighty fun. 8>
from Crap Cosplay will also be joining and they are all looking fabulous. x)
They have tails... I'm digging this cosplay!
Only minus is that the weather is bad, but I'll try to do my best. It might add something to the photos?
So now I'm just preparing! I also finished some of my last examinations, so I will hopefully be able to be more active now in the future.
Now out in the rain!
