First of all, I'm SO sorry for not having written in a looong time
And then. FUCK YOU BLOGSPOT. I'm not allowed to upload anymore pictures without having to pay fucking MONEY for it. So please, check my pictures on the Japanese blog, because I can't upload more than there is in this blog. I HATE YOU. ):
Anyway, I honestly don't remember all the things I've been doing in these last 23 days, but I will try and put as much info and details in as I can handle, without killing myself. Since I can write my Japanese blog from my phone every day
So if you want to train you Japanese by reading some not completely correct Japanese or want to look at my pictures every day instead of when I have time to write here, then check it out. CLICK HERE
Anyyyywayyyyy, let's get STARTED.
November 2nd;
So, this day I went with Mikko to Odori, as always. We didn't do much, but we ended up in the lovely music store on top of 4pla. In this store, there was an event with the Visual Kei band, Royz. I absolutely love Royz, so getting to see them in real life was amazing. Nothing like hot Japanese guys in their amazing VK clothes to make your day a little better. There we met some friends of hers and talked with them for a while. Most of her friends returned home, but one remained with us. With this remaining girl, we went to take purikura whereafter I went back home.
If you are interested in Visual Kei music/bands etc. then check Royz out on YouTube, I love them. My favorite song by them is Noah.
November 3rd;
Just enjoying myself at home for once. I watched Moon Child, Aibou and ate tooooo much candy. Worth it.
November 4th;
Out with Mikko again. This time, as any other time, we went to Odori. Where else? We went there mostly because I just HAD to buy a shirt I'd seen in 4pla, I repeat, where else? Mikko had already bought this one shirt, which actually is the same shirts that the members if Royz is using, and I was just as in love with it as she was and just had to buy it. Before that we went to Cosmo and where I bought a necklace and a ring. Both matching and being absolutely amazing. Both Mikko & I also bought this amazing leather-look-alike jacket. We also went to the h.NAOTO store and so on. It was all an amazing and fun day - as always.
November 6th;
Found out that there was only around 3 months left of my stay in Japan - that is something that breaks your heart.
November 7th;
AIKIDOAIKIDOAIKIDOAIKIDOAIKIDO!!! Yes, I went to Aikido for the first time in my life and for people not knowing what Aikido is, then it's a Japanese martial art. It is absolutely amazing. I went there straight after school with my friend, who've been doing it for three years, her sister who's also at the same school as we are, joined us. We ate ice cream, took purikura and then went to practice. The practice was absolutely amazing!! The teachers were super nice, the practice was fun and so on - nothing bad to say at all. Also, you get your thoughts off EVERYTHING for these two hours that you practice.
We then went home to her house where I slept - the first exchange students out of 21 to sleep at a friends place. *proud*
November 8th;
My friend and I woke up at 5, ate her super delicious bacon&egg&rice whereafter we went off to school. After school I met up with my LP for a talk and dinner. It was super nice talking with her and the food was absolutely amazing. We ate and talked for some hours and then went to another place to eat dessert and talk some more. All in all a super day. It was also nice to return to the family's house again though.
November 9th;
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, I SWEAR WE HAD MUCH RAIN.
I went to Odori with Mikko again though, we went there together, but had no time together since she had an event and I was going to buy some shoes. I found some super nice shoes that were super cheap and I just HAD to buy them. So of course I did haha. After I returned home I decided it was time for a change and I cut my hair. Byebye up-until-now hair.
November 10th - 12th;
A six hour car ride and we arrive in Hamatonbetsu, an extremely small town in the north of Hokkaido - I swear it's small, it has to supermarkets and they were both around the same size as an 7/11. My school friends had never heard of the city before, so I had no idea what the hell I would think of it haha. All I knew was that there was a top class hot spring there and how can you NOT want to go then?! So we went there, arrived there and went to eat yakiniku - it's like a BBQ and I absolutely love it - it's the best thing on Earth. We ate till we could barely stand up and then we went back to the hotel where we enjoyed the hot spring and then went to bed.
The next day we went to the seashore not so far from the hotel and looked at the EXTREMELY, like two meters or something, tall waves and enjoyed the fresh, but slightly cold air. It was super nice and a lot of fun. I am a weird person, who likes trying things, so as the waves went back into the ocean I ran with them until the edge of the water and waited for the next wave to come. The next wave would come pretty fast and I would have to run as fast as I could not to get soaked. You have no idea of how fun that was for me. Best. Game. Ever.
Then we went to eat some lunch and then to see the swans. I wouldn't call them swans though, they didn't look like swans more like geese or big white ducks, I don't know, but apparently they are 'swans' in Japan. We fed them a lot of bread, also the small cute ducks, and everybody was surprised to see that I fed them straight from my hand and didn't care if they bit me. When they asked why, I was like "I'M DANISH AND A VIKING, I FEEL NO PAIN, no, but seriously - it doesn't hurt" so they tried and figured I was right. Glad I actually can teach useless stuff to people, life completed haha.
After that we went back to the hotel where Sayaka and I went to the hot spring and then just chilled in the hotel room until the evening.
The next day, we went back to Sapporo. Even though it was a nice trip, there's nothing that beats Sapporo - Sapporo has my heart, body and soul. Well, at least the first and last one.
November 13th;
Nice to be home and of course that meant I had to meet with friends. I met up with Emma after school, who just returned from her school trip. We talked at Starbucks and she gave me some of my beloved KitKat that you can ONLY buy in Kyoto. Thank you, my lifesaver. Thereafter we met Mikko at 4pla & Emma got a glimpse at him. Then we took purikura, Emma went home and Mikko and I went back to 4pla where she wanted to talk to the guy she likes.
November 14th;
Wednesday again, you know what that means? I'm going to Aikido again!!
My friends family allowed me to come EVERY week and stay at their place, if I liked Aikido and wanted to continue doing it. How can you say know to THAT? So after school I went to Aikido again. This time my friends little sister and I went there alone, my friend had something to do at the school and would join us later. It was all as fun as the last time, but 1 hour in the 2 hour long practice, I fell straight on my shoulder while trying to perform a roll followed by a fall. It said a weird sound and hurt a little, but it wasn't anything bad, so I kept doing Aikido with my left side
November 17th;
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HOST MOTHER!!!
So, since it was my host mothers birthday, we went to the cinema and watched a Japanese samurai movie called のぼうの城 which means Nobou's Castle. It was super funny and interesting!! Would definitely watch that again, even though I didn't understand EVERYTHING this time, I did indeed get the big picture and I'm proud of myself for that. I mean, it was in full old-time Japanese, very cultural and the didn't exactly speak slowly, but yet I understood the most of it. It was definitely worth watching. If you ever get a chance to watch it, do so! I will definitely get the DVD as soon as I can. We watched this movie at Sapporo Factory - where there also is a BIG christmas three at the moment, so of course we took some pictures of that and then we went to a restaurant near the house.
At the restaurant we ate the most amazing food, it was so damn delicious - especially the super rare steak. After dinner we went to home and ate this amazing chocolate cake!! The only problem was that it was TOO much chocolate, I almost died afterwards. No kidding.
November 18th;
Wasn't alive this day, because I legit died from the cake.....

You know what I wish for christmas? A sense of humour. Please, can someone give that to me?
Well, I went to my Aikido friend, Yuuki's, little brother's event at his school. He asked me so sweetly when I was eating dinner the last time and how can you say know when an extremely cute Japanese boy that's 12 years old ask you if you would come? You can't. So I woke up early and took the train to Oasa - out of Sapporo, where Yuuki's father and little sister picked me up. We went to the house for a short while, where I said hi to Yuuki before heading to the little brother's school. We spent a good deal of hours watching his show and I can tell you that it was all worth it. All the performances were cute and I understood what was going on haha. It was SO worth it.
While at the school, it started snowing!!!!
After that, we went to eat ramen and then watch Yuuki perform at the Aikido festival in Sapporo. She's so cool and she really knows her Aikido. It's so cool.
Then they drove me to a station where I took the train to Sapporo and met up with Tyler, Museon, Marco and two girls from Asahikawa. It was nice seeing everybody again! We took purikura, the girls went home and so did we. All very nice, but fast.

I had a sick headache this Monday and didn't go to school because of it, it probably came because my shoulder still kind of hurt. It hurts a lot in the morning, because I probably sleep weirdly in the night, but it's not really bad during the day, anyway I stayed home and didn't really do anything, but stay in my bed all day and looking out the window on the nice and pretty snow.
November 21st;
A to the F to the S event.
So we had an AFS event this day and therefore didn't have to go to school. We were going to a primary school to make the Japanese food/snack/whatever called Mochi. Google it. It taste super good, I love it.
We arrived at the school and did a short self introduction in Japanese - as always. We then played fruit basket etc. where we said the colours in our mother's tounge as well. Then we had to take a picture, when we took the picture I hold the hand of this little girl, who just started walking after the picture and she held my right hand while doing so. Since my shoulder was in a pretty bad state this day, that hurt REALLY fucking bad. Everybody was also like SHIT! and I just followed as good as I could trying to keep the pain inside me.
After that the AFS people got put into two groups and since I couldn't participate in the mochi making, because I only had one useable hand, my group had one more person than the other. My group started by playing with the kids, while the other group made mochi. It was all much fun!
I was in the same group as Michelle, who I really couldn't figure out. In Asahikawa she just randomly started talking to me, being all nice and so on. I didn't expect that from here, since she deleted and blocked me on Facebook and we ended on prettyyyyy bad terms. This day we talked a lot though and it was nice not having to avoid each other and so on, I mean, Michelle is and have always been a nice girls - it was just all too much etc. so oh well, it was all nice - she also readded me on Facebook today - so I guess that means peace, right?
Then we went to make mochi, I just looked as the others made it. They were all pretty good at this and it was funny to look at. It was all very nice.
During the event, Eden gave my an early Christmas/late Birthday present! Suuuuper cute and just what I needed. He really knows when to give what, huh?
After the event I went with Eden and Noah to Sapporo station to find a jacket for Eden. Noah had to go early and we finally found a jacket for Eden, but when he was going to buy it ... You needed your passport to buy it, so we just reserved it for Friday (today).
Then we went to Starbucks where he treated me to a cup of coffee, it was really nice and we sat there for at least an hour talking about God's know what. We also came across the point that I actually do owe him money, since he ALWAYS treat me to things and so on. He then made me a deal, I could pay him back in hugs. 1 yen, 1 hug. Of course I agreed to that and asked if I then owed him 2000 hugs, since that's how many yen I supposedly owe him, NOPE I owe him 8000, only 7999 now, but I'll be DAMN busy if I have to give him THAT many hugs on 2 months - I mean, that's probably more hugs that I've given my entire life.
This will be fun though.
November 22nd, yesterday;
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVELY LITTLE SISTER, SARAH, BACK IN DK!!!!!!!!!!
So as you can see, my little sister turned 14 yesterday, but I was a little distracted and kind of forgot it, because I had long day.
I went to school for around 3 hours and then home, to go to the hospital. Since my arm still hurt 8 days after I hurt it, we thought it might be dislocated or something, so we decided to go to the doctor - just in case. It took around 4 hours and I got x-ray 2 times from a very hot, young nurse. Wouldn't mind him giving me x-ray more times than that. The doctor then showed us the pictures. Turns out I'd broken a bone. Who could have known? I thought that would hurt a looooot more. I mean, Eden called me hardcore when I told him, because I haven't whined at all or haven't been in intense pain - I even lifted up a 7 year old kid at the AFS event, like really, how could you have known? But I will apparently need surgery two times to fix this, one time here in Japan - on Monday - and one time in Denmark around 2 or 3 months after. So this Sunday I will be put in the hospital until Wednesday next week and I will have surgery on Monday. I'm just glad if I can start sleeping well again, because I swear it sucks to sleep with this shoulder!!
But yea, that's pretty much all I did yesterday.
November 23rd, today;
Today I went with Mikko to buy a jacket we got for half price in 4pla. It is around 20.000yen, but both of us got it for around 10.000yen - amazing! All because we always come and talk to the owner of the store and basically am on a pretty friendly level with him. I swear, he's the funniest guy ever. I wish I could just pack him down my suitcase and take him to Denmark - he always makes me laugh so much that my stomach hurts. So that was good, we also talked to him a little while. Before buying the jacket we went to McDonald and ate chocolate pie, then we went to Parco and bought Cherry Coke, which my friend neither had tasted nor known existed until that very moment. We sat down on a stairway and drank it while talking and having fun. We obviously also took purikura. Then we went home and yea, then I've been writing my blog haha.
I will update you again after my surgery and try to do this a little more often haha, sorry.
Thank you VERY much for hanging in there and still reading my blog, I love you all and it warms my heart that people actually care to read it.
Take care!!
