We're not alone on this world...

...Specially not in Tokyo! Wherever you are, be sure there are thousands of other people with/around you. As announced in my previous post, I'm writing about Tokyo again. I wanna share some pictures of crowds of people. It may not be so special to those who've never been to Tokyo yet, but for me it was kinda overwhelming seeing all those people on the streets for the first time two years ago. I'm living in a city with roughly 600,000 inhabitants, so it is usually not crowded here. I could just watch those crowds in Tokyo from a cafe or at the station for hours which I actually like a lot. Everyone is moving so fast (even women with very high heels, XD), while having one hand on the mobile phone and the other one on their bags. I even once saw a guy on a bicycle, holding an umbrella with one hand, his mobile phone on the other while listening to music on his Ipod. And he did not fall, leave out bump into people. What a skilled person! XD Anyway, let the pictures speak!

 In Shibuya (you can see many western people there, too)

Shibuya (look at the crowds in the background)

 Same here

 And here

Me and my friend at the famous scramble crossing in Shibuya (Sorry for using this, I had no better one). I think the green light was green for over 3 minutes :-) Next time I wanna grab a seat at the Starbucks (and watch the crowds from there)

 Harajuku/Omotesando at night

 These fotos are actually from Osaka, but the rush hour should be the same in Tokyo!

Same here. I guess many people were asking what the heck I was taking fotos of while standing in their way, hahaha.

What do you think of people watching? Do you like it or do you avoid crowds of people? Of course it is not funny when you're being an active part of the crowd, for example at rush hour time. But it's so fascinating that everyrthing seems to work, from commuting to whatever. Whenever I'm in Tokyo, I adept to the walking speed there, and when I've returned to Germany, everyone seems to slack around, hahaha! Anyone wants to come to Shinjuku with me?? (Daily commuters: about 3 million people ('A') 

Last but not least, Sara Mari celebrates her birthday today! Many of you know her, she is really an enrichment to the Bloggoshpere with her blog Moments like Diamonds! Sara, I've sent you a birthday card, hope it will arrive soon! Have some virtual cake to bridge the waiting time!

I hope you'll enjoy a lovely weekend! Till next post!

Happy Birthday again!

Ah, how much I love doing those birthday posts! :-) Happy Birthday, this time to Kate from Ribbonlicious! She celebrates her birthday today! She is an awesome seamstress of cute and wonderful Lolita fashion! I urge all Lolitas and others, of course too, to visit her blog! Here is a birthday cake for you, Kate! And I still regret not having the chance to meet you a couple of weeks ago, cause I had to work at that day. Hope to see you soon!

Today I went to town with Lara to have lunch, shop, and to watch the soccer game in our local mall. It was a desaster, Germany lost 0:1 to Serbia. The game itself was quite interesting. Still it is very sad Germany lost. I hope that Japan will win at least tomorrow, but the chances are low, cause the opponent is our neigbour country The Netherlands! :-)

These are my first attempts to take pictures of myself. I always see them on other bloggers post, so I thought maybe you are interested in seeing my fotos :-)) Do you see the German flag tattoo on my hand?? :-) I was prepared so well for the game, but we lost :-( Ah yes, and the soccer poster which hangs on the door will only be there for 4 weeks, until the World Cup finishes:-) I took this foto by selftimer, so sorry for the bad quality!

Here's my outfit of the day! Took this picture in the clothing shop while Lara was trying some clothes on. I'd love to have such a huge mirror in my room :-) Now you can also see how tiny I am with my 154 cm, hahaha!

Most of the people think I am about...16 years old??

Jacket: Spiral Girl

Pullover: Olive des Olive

Jeans: Honeys

Bag: Accessorize

Shoes: No Brand

Camera Bag: Rilakkuma, San-x

(Yeah, most of my clothes are from Japan XD)

What do say, would you like to see more pics from me and/or my outfits? Or do other bloggers spam you with such pictures that you don't like to see any more?? I'd like to hear your opnion about that! 

So, some other news! I won the giveaway at Sakie and Thomas Gantz Blog! Check out their awesome blog about Japan! Anyways, I'm so much looking forward to the can of Moe Candies! :-))

My giveaway is doing fine so far! I get new entries every day, thank you so much! I promise to try to catch up with all of my new followers blogs and follow you back soon. I am also thinking of putting the date of deadline a bit forward, since August was maybe a bit too long, right?? When I decided I will announce another date soon. :-)

My dear readers, I can only wish you a lovely weekend now! I can't post the next days, cause I'm busy with work and university, but I try to comment at least to all of your posts.

Happy Birthday! :-)

First of all, thank you for your wonderful replies to my little giveaway! I was astonished that so many people joined, even though it contains items, which are more less... old, hahaha! I wish you all good luck! :-)

Today it is time for a birthday post again! Happy Birthday to Ken! I've become his follower only recently, but he's cool, and one of the few male bloggers I know (including him, I know three :-) Here is a birthday cake for you! :-) And since it is his birthday, he's holding an awesome giveaway, too! Wait, who is the birthday kid? XD Check it out here: Ken's giveaway!

Okay, there is nothing more to post about so that's it for today! :-)

Happy Birthday! :-)

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to Bommie!! Congratulations for having become 17 (??) years old!!! My gosh you are so young!! :-)) Here is a birthday cake for you!!

Happy Birthday! :-)

I said I had a surprise in my next entry, but I fear this has to wait a little bit more! So please be patient a little more! Today I just want to wish Audrey a very happy belated birthday! It's one day to late, sorry for that! But I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Here's a cake for you!
And I have changed my blog's title, btw. Not everyone speaks Japanese as I do, I guess, so I had better take an english title :-)

Happy Birthday To Me!

Hi everyone, I have some good news to share with you! Firstly, my graduation paper is done!!!! In a whole, it has 42 pages, 11 pictures and 10951 words. I can't express in words how relieved I am now. At the moment it is being proof-read, and if everythings free of typos etc. I will have it binded the next week. There shouldn't be anything between me and my Bachelor's degree now! :-))))
Secondly, it is my birthday today! Though the real celebration will be tomorrow, when everyone gathers here. So my birthday post will come the next days!

                                                                   
Have pictures of the cherry blossoms in Japan, which my friend sent me today! I am envious of their beautiful weather...

EDIT: This is not an April Fool's, but it is snowing atm in my town.... :-)))) It has become colder again...

It's almost done!

I can't believe it, it is almost done! I only have to write the conclusion chapter (about 3 pages) now, and then I will be finished! Then I will have it proof-read, printed out and binded. Are you interested in seeing my paper? Then I will share some fotos later, my deadline is April, 16. Honestly, I don't care about the mark I will gain for my final acadamic paper, I am just happy it will be done soon (hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday).

Then, I also can't believe it's my birthday this week on Thursday. I will become 23 years old. I really feel old now, especially after having met some Japanese exchange students (see pics below) from our partner university in Nagoya the last weeks. Many of them just started their German studies and were only about 19 years old. I can't even remember anymore, what I did with 19 except for having finished high school at that time around. And now I am almost finished with university. Time is flying too fast. Can you remember what it was like whan you were at my age? Or if you are at my age now, what you did when you were younger, let's say about 18, 19?

Anyway, have some pics from our last meeting at university, before they left for Japan: 

 

Our group pic, of course there were more exchange students, but they were still eating in the canteen :-)

Me, Mai (she is so pretty!) and my friend Lara

Okay, I hope I will have some good news the next days when I post again. I will give my best now at the final spurt!

Happy Birthday! :-)

Thanks everyone for your nice comments on my last post! I will look for other fotos like that in my files, maybe there are some more! :-) Today I just worked on my paper, now I am at proud 21 pages! Somehow I had a flow of motivation today, hope this will keep on going! If it goes on like this, I am sure to be finished before my birthday. Btw, birthday, Congratulations, RicAdeMus! I hope you have a happy bitrhday. I am so glad I got to know you! Thanks for your kind words each time. This is for you!

 I just found the photo, so this is not baked by me! But I would have loved to bake a cake for you (then eat it by myself, hahaha!) Actually, this is a Christmas Cake XDDD
