18/13/2013 - Japan again in 2013! Shopping in Tennoji

Hey everyone!

Finally I am getting back on track with Japan blog posts again!

At the start of 2013, I went on another Japan holiday with two of my friends, Janelle and David. This time we decided to start at Osaka first then head to Tokyo later. My family also joined me for a week but they couldn't get the same flight as me (I booked my tickets before they decided to go) so they were able to get the flight the next day.

This was my 4th time in Japan and I didn't really take many photos since I just kind of felt like I've "been there, done that". Felt like I was just repeating what I was doing the past couple of times so yeah, not as many photos as I usually would take! Kinda regret not taking as many photos cos now my Japan blog posts are gonna be more boring :( So next time I go to Japan I'm definitely taking lots of photos again!

When we landed, the first thing we did was go to a Family Mart to buy some food supplies~




This time we were staying in David's apartment so we didn't have to pay for accommodation thankfully! We arrived quite late at night so we went straight to sleep after.

The first morning we all woke up early to go meet a friend at Mister Donut!






We also promised Matsui Mama and Papa that we would go visit them for lunch, so we had quite a lot of time to waste until then haha. When we arrived, Matsui mama and papa made us Oden for lunch!





Also gave us some onigiri as a snack to bring along!

I really wanted to go shopping because I always pack an empty suitcase when I go to Japan and I had no clothes with me lol. So we went to Tennoji and I went straight to Liz Lisa to buy some new clothes!


A lot of the items were 50% off and they also had lots of good deals (2 items for 6000yen!)

We forced the guys to take purikura with us LOL.


Fountain in an underground shopping mall!

After shopping we all decided to head back to Umeda (Osaka station on the JR line) to get some dinner! David knew a good Korean BBQ place so we decided to go there to eat~







Food was so good!!



Kanpai to first dinner in Japan!

That's all the photos of our first day in Japan! The other days when my family was with me I managed to get a lot of photos from other people so my next few posts won't be boring! (hopefully!)

Hello from Japan!

Hey everyone!

I'm actually in Japan right now, have been here for about a week. I've been really busy everyday because I've been taking my family around, but they are leaving in about 2 days so after that I'll finally have free time to go out and film my own vlogs. I haven't had time to film much but I did film some random vlogs here and there.

I haven't been taking many photos at all in Japan this time.. I think it's because I've been here so much that everything just now feels... normal to me? Like not.. "special" anymore kinda thing? Kind of annoying because I want to take a lot of photos, but haven't been taking many at all :(

However, I have been trying to instagram a lot! My instagram is http://www.instagram.com/kimdaoblog

So in this post I'm going to post some of my instagram photos!


Went to Matsui mama and papa's place the first day and they made oden for us!

23/07/12 - 24/07/12 Summer time in Japan!　初めて夏に日本に行きました！

Hey everyone!

It's been a while! Sorry for not blogging recently, I just got back to Australia a few days ago and things have been quite busy. Uni has started again *sigh* but I will try to keep on making as many videos and blog posts as possible! I have very exciting news coming up very soon, I'll be making a quick video about it later ^^ I'm in the middle of editing a few videos too so hope you guys look forward to them!

Today I'm going to blog about my first day on my second trip this year to Japan. Don't worry, I'll still be writing about my first trip! I realized now it's going to get a bit more confusing since I want to post about both trips asap! haha. Though I guess I'll take a longer time to post about my first trip because I took a lot of photos and want the posts to be more detailed. This time when I went to Japan, I went alone so I didn't take many photos unfortunately :( I got a bit lonely so wasnt really in the mood for photos :(

The reason why I went to Japan again in such a short time was because Liz Lisa staff wanted to meet me and to talk to me about a few things! This is my first time to go to Japan in the summer. I have to say, I much prefer winter! haha. Summer in Japan is really hot and humid, I didn't really want to go out because of that.

Anyway, I left Australia last Monday (23rd July) so I could get to Japan on Tuesday morning.


Perth airport quiet as usual..




Played Pokemon on the plane

I had 4 hours in Singapore airport till my next flight, so I walked around for a bit and got a bit of food.



Decided to get some Indian food



On board my flight to Japan~!


There's Japan!

I flew to Osaka first because I really wanted to see Matsui Mama and Papa again. If you guys don't know who they are, here is a blog post about them.

Left Kansai International Airport and took the train to meet up with Matsui Mama and Papa.



First time to see so much greenery in Japan!




Once I got out of the train.. I realized just how HOT it was in Japan in summer! It was only about 32 degrees that day, which usually is good for summer in Australia. Except in Japan, it's really HUMID! I'm not used to humid weather so it was really painful for me T_T

Anyway, met Matsui Mama and Papa and they gave me some watermelon! Many people eat watermelon with salt in Japan in summer!


Resting in the room



Matsui papa made me some lunch!


Cold Ramen with umeboshi (Japanese plum) and Rice!
I LOVE umeboshi, I know a lot of foreign people don't like it, but I love it! Especially in onigiri (riceballs). It was my first time having cold ramen and it was really nice! 全部美味しかった！

After lunch, I headed off to go to Tennoji to meet my friend.

When I first came back and saw this street, immediate I thought to myself "懐かしい！！" (nostalgic). Never thought that I would be able to go back to Japan so soon to see this street again.

I got to Tennoji and met up with my friend. First stop, I went to MIO in Tennoji. I needed some clothes cos I didn't pack any clothes with me. When I go to Japan, I usually never pack anything with me since I know I will shop anyway to save on luggage space :P

Of course, Liz Lisa is first, I bought a few items from there!

if you guys haven't seen yet, I did a tour of the MIO shopping mall, includes a Liz Lisa tour:


Met up with my friend Aimi who used to study in Australia! We decided to go have a drink in Starbucks


Had one of the summer drinks.. forgot what it's called but it wasn't very nice so definitely not getting that again lol.

Summer in Japan means Yukatas everywhere! (Summer kimono).


After a lot of shopping, I went and took Purikura!






I wasn't able to hang out long since I promised Matsui Mama and Papa I'd be back to have dinner with them, so I left a bit early and decided to make a quick stop in Umeda to go to a few shops.


Waiting at Tennoji Station.

At HEP5, another shopping mall but in Umeda. Similar to MIO and Shibuya109



Super cute girls in Yukatas!

For dinner, Matsui Mama and papa made Tonkatsu!



Then we sat around to talk and I gave them presents I bought from Australia!



Matsui Mama likes making jewelry as a hobby, she made me a few necklaces!

本当にありがごう！大事にしています！

That's all for the post today ^_^ I'll try update more often this week but things are starting to get a bit more busy for me :( But I'll do my best! Also a new video will be out in a few days time ^__^ I missed you guys!
