28/07/12 Catching up with friends in Shibuya!
Hey guys!Finally got (one) assignment out of the way, but still more to do *cries* But I have a week off uni this week, so going to try film a lot more! Any requests, please let me know now so I can prepare to film ^_^
Today I'm going to blog about another day in Tokyo! I had the day to myself so I decided to visit some places to shop for a few things on my own in the morning, since I was going to meet some friends at night.
Look of the day~

First stop~ Akihabara. I went to Donkihote, they sell lots of different things, including makeup and usually have lots of sales!
Makeup~

Then went to make a quick stop at Ikebukuro to do some shopping. Had crepes! Perfect for summer!

Tasted good, sucked cos I was surrounded by couples and I was alone. foreveralone.jpg
Weirdest shop name ever, but I like the clothes there

Went back to Shibuya~

There was a protest going on when I got back, not sure what it was about though.

Went back to my hotel to rest for a bit and put all my shopping down, then I went out again to meet my friend~
Met up at Shibuya109, she helped me take some photos!

You might remember Shoko from my other blog post here. She used to live in Osaka but moved to Tokyo for work~

Shoko had to leave earlier cos she was feeling unwell, so I waited around to meet up with another friend, Atushi. He just came back from work and met me at Starbucks. He then took me to a really famous sushi restaurant in Shibuya~

We had to wait for around 1 hour in line to get in!

Atushi gave me some muffins!

We talked for ages haha. I met Atushi when he came to Australia for a quick 3 week exchange, every time I go to Japan I meet up with him to catch up. He is now studying abroad in the States though which is cool!
Atushi made me take a picture with the chefs haha

After dinner, Atushi and I went to take Purikura!

yay for a week off. that green tea looks really good. That crepe looks delicious too. I end up going out by myself a lot, especially recently, but i guess it's different in a foreign country. you look like you had fun despite the fact. i went to a hawaiian donki, like honolulu; they had the very basic make up brands you find around here (kiss me, dollywink/koji, narisup, etc...), but it was probably my first time seeing such a large quantity, which is odd b/c i guess i had never heard of mitsuwa back then >_>. Some places in NYC stock etude house and majolica majorca, but it's mad expensive, and most of the combos are too hard to work with dark skin; i always end up layering on more pigmented, less strikingly light stuff. Still, I envy the selection :). Btw, I really like that color on your lips...Atushi seems like a really fun guy, glad you got to catch up with your friends. My mom wants me to study abroad (eventually). My cousin knows a girl who will be studying in japan for a year. The food looks so good in japan. and ugh, now i wanna buy makeup; i think i'll read one of your makeup posts to hold me off.
ReplyLooks like you had a lot of fun! >w<
ReplyHaha, all the foooooooddddd!!! @0@ It's making me so hungry!
I really want to try Starbucks; I've never been... ( - 3-)
Sushi... @0@
That is why i love Japan. They have a lot of things I like.. and their culture. So preserved :) And you look pretty on that caramel dres (not sure if I got that right) but anyways, you really look beautiful! I'm a girl and I'm no lesbian hehe! Just saying :)

haha yeah, the shop name is definetely something I won't forget xD
Replyhaha thank-you ^^
ReplyYeah, travelling by yourself isn't as fun as with friends :( I love donki! so much stuff in there you can buy haha xD I prefer makeup shopping in HK though, it's cheaper than Japan. And thank-you! I think I was using a lipstick by Lavshuca that day ^^ Japan is a great place to study abroad! all of my friends who have done it have loved it!
Replyhaha yeah we dont have a starbucks where I live either :( sucks :(
Replyhahah thankyou xD
