Loving life in Yoko

It has been three days since I have arrived in Japan and I am LOVING it!

HUGE update to come!

D-1 One more sleep

Woke up at 12pm and ate wulnamssam (vietnamese rice paper rolls) for lunch. My dear mother prepared fresh vegies just for me. My last wulnamssam meal in Sydney. sadface.

Feeling quite down today. I was okay during the day. Ate, watched tv, studied, packed. Great way to spend my last night in Sydney ay?

D-3 Farewell no.2

During the day I packed my clothes and sorted out what to put in each luggage.
My two heaviest coats and few winter tops got put into a box that I sent over to my dorm postal address. I went to the post office and paid 74 bux for 5kgs which isn't too bad. I really hope I don't go over the weight limit at check-in since I already paid that much for 5kgs.

After that i got ready to go out for a night out with my friends which we planned to have at my farewell galbi dinner. We originally planned to go to Hurricanes at Darling Harbour but since it was full we went to an Italian restaurant called Crinitis that was located at the other end of the building. It was a tad expensive but I got to have my ribs so it was worth it. We skipped dessert and headed towards Cohi bar and had a few drinks. Twas fun fun :D
I would post photos up right now but my net is capped so I think I'll have to do it when I'm in Japan (with free internet that is booyeh)
Darling Harbour at night is so picturesque and romantic. Loves it. Sydney really is a beautiful city.

A, G, Y and I left at around 12.30am and caught a train back to stratty where I had parked my car. We wanted to have icecream but all the restaurants and cafes were closed cus it was Thursday. Whilst we were walking to the car some seedy fob guy asked if we wanted to have drinks and "have fun" with his other mates. Wtf? It's 1am you dodgy dirty fob. Go back to Korea and maybe some cheap skanky girls might say yes to you. So dirt.

We dropped G and Y off and went back home. F came by to give me a gift she got me which she claimed was "small" but to me it wasn't and it made my heart warm. So sweet. Thanks again my love.

Photos will come soon..ish.

D-4 Another day

Woke up at 12pm. Watched Oprah whilst eating jja jang myun. That's life.
Mother came home and made kimchi jun (korean style pancake). She craved korean rice wine so bought a bottle on the way (pictured above) to the GP and Post Office and I bought a bottle at the groceries.

I had to get a check up on my eye and buy a box at the Post Office to send a parcel to my dorm. I have so many coats that takes up way too much room so will send it over since it's spring/summer in Japan now.

I also got my last pay today! I'm 1k short than my goal amount but I think it should suffice. Rent is cheap, youth allowance is plenty plus i'm planning to tutor a few kids there so I should be survive. I'll use around 3-4k for my major trip in the summer holidays that will include visits to nagoya, kanto region (Osaka, Kyoto, Nabe), Hiroshima, Shimonoseki and than...Seoul!!!!!WOO HOO.


Also, met up with R and E after dinner at stratty but then we came back to eat the rest of the kimchi jun at my place! haha such ajummas.


R and E bumming in my room

D-5 Bored

Never though I would say this, but I'm beginning to feel bored.

Life without no uni or work is great but bumming at home the whole day can take its toll.

I studied a bit, watched Oprah, watched a Jap movie (Sand Chronicles) and slept a lot. Also went to W's house to install new ram on my computer. Laptop runs faster than before which is so much better.

D-6 Baeksoo life

Isn't life grand on a Monday with no work?
I woke up at 10pm, took a shower, ate, bummed around, went to Macquarie centre and finally got my International Drivers License! Collected my contacts at the optometrist and bought KFC with my mum on the way home.

I've started p-p-packing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D-7 One week to go

I got a facial today at Ella Rouge. A glycolic peel to be exact. Feels good but will take a few days to see results.

Then went to my Grandpa's place and then to my gomo-halmoni (my grandpa's younger sister) with my dad as well for dinner. I love talking to older relatives. They have so much to tell about their lives and experience and so much wisdom to share.

After dinner, I met up with A to have icecream, fries and apple pie at maccas. She's my true fatty eating partner. Who am I going to have iceream with at 10pm when i'm overseas? So sad.

D-8 Irreplaceable

We had a farewell galbi dinner tonight with my closest group of friends (known them for 10 years already).

Seriously, I'm going to miss them heaps when I'm in Japan :(

We're going to dress up and have drinks on Thursday!

D-9 Same as yesterday

Went to Parramatta and bought everything else on the list. Got home and relaxed.
