My Working Place

Hello everybody, are you enjoying your Sunday?? Here it is raining the whole day, and it is autumn like atm, but I like autumn better than the heat so I'm totally fine with that. 

I thought that I'd make a post about my part time working place, a jewelry concession shop called SIX. I am working there just once a week, and have to arrange the goods, keep the place clean, and if customers come, answer their questions and advise them in terms of fashion :-) Are you interested? I don't know if I can get pics from my other working place, the Soba Restaurant, so have some from the jewelry :-)

We have a concessions shop in a huge clothing store

Cute jewelry, it's irresistible, hahaha!

Turquoise seems to be popular atm

Bonus shot for today: my very simple coordination (chosen almost randomly from my closet on Saturday morning while being half asleep, hahaha)

Cardigan: from a random store in Paris

Floral Top: Olive des Olive

Skinny Denim: Uniqlo

Shoes: no brand

Bracelet with clock: Hello Kitty

You can't see it but I'm actally wearing the Hope Diamond Necklace I won at Rick's Giveaway :-)

Since I've started working at the jewelry shop I've got to like jewelry and everything that glitters, hahaha! What are your favourite jewelry pieces??

Btw, did you realize I've been quite active in blogging lately? Yeah, I'm so proud of myself XD Hope you are enjoying :-) Cause I don't know yet when I can post again next week, as I've gotta work almost everyday. Have a good start into the new week. I'm off to write some letters now.

Wanna eat some ice-cream?? XD

Hello friends, it's been a while (again). I am such a bad blogger not posting as much as I really want to, hahaha! Today I'm gonna post something fine for you!

But first of all, a huge thanks to everyone who took the effort to mail me their contact information for the penpalling thing! :-) I was so moved that many people want to have me as their penpal. Everyone who responded will get mail from me. But first, I'll send you an email back. I cannot promise to write that often, but it will be fun nevertheless! :-) Looking forward to your letters, and please wait for mine. :-)

Yesterday I had the night shift again at the Restaurant, and I went there without having taken off my flashy pink nail colour, ohohoh! When I wanted to, I realized my nail polish remover was empty! But my boss was cool, she let me work with those nails, I really love my boss, hahaha! But that will never happen again. I got a huge tip from a cute couple who have been eating japanese soba for the first time, so I had to practise with them holding chopsticks. Well, for me it is something so"natural", I mean the holding of chopsticks, that I totally forgot there are people who can't hold them properly, hahaha! It was very funny, we had a good talk as also (in my working time :-)

Today it's gonna get hot again after two days of normal summer weather! So what do we most do in summer? Eating ice-cream! :-) I have some fotos of ice-creams I had during my trips to Japan, so enjoy! :-)

We had all flavours of Baskin Robbins ice-cream in Japan! It was so amazing! My friend Yui spent so much money on them! Why don't we have that awesome ice-cream in Germany, too??? 

This is Maccha Kakigoori with Azuki beans as topping! It was so huge I couldn't eat is up alone! My hostfather bought this for us in Takamatsu, Shikoku.

This was Melon Soda with Vanilla flavoured Häagen Dasz eaten in Odaiba, Tokyo

Rasperry flavoured Kakigoori, also from Odaiba.

Mow's Milk Vanilla ice-cream (they had the caramel version last year, too!) Sorry for the blurriness!

Eaten at our homestay place in Kawaguchi, Saitama.

An ice-cream selling machine at the Onsen Resort in Kagawa, Shikoku, we went to. Of course we had to try this, too! I had the last one from the right of the second row :-)

Bonus Pic: Me (in Oct 2008 in Ai's house in Shikoku) eating ice-cream! Hope you enjoyed!

I'm looking forward to tonight's soccer match between Germany and Spain! I have many followers from Spain, but today I must say: Sorry my Spanish friends, Germany's gonna kick you out tonight! :-) XDDD

Oh, and yes, did I tell you I'm gonna be at the Cupcake Cafe I wrote about a couple of weeks ago again this Friday? I'll take more fotos this time. See you on Friday's post then! :-) Hope you enjoy some lovely sunny days until then! 

EDIT: Sorry I couldn't post the last days, it has been so hot and I've been kinda burnt out on blogging :-) Will be better the next days! As for now, I wanna share this awesome giveaway with you!  Sophia Alexandra is a very sweet Lolita!

Finally an update: Our first day in Shikoku

I'm sorry for my late update this time! A lot of happend, and I was so busy! I'll try to update more often from now on (I always say so all the time XDD)

I found some part time jobs now! All in all there are 3, but one of those is only for 3 weeks, and then I will only have two. I'll work part time in an accessory section of a department store starting this week, as an inventory part time (only for 3 weeks) and as a home tutor. Hopefully I can earn some money and save it to get a Working Holiday Visa for Japan :-)

And again a big Thank You to all the participants of the giveaway! I never dreamed of such a great number! In just a week's time I will announce the lucky winners, I guess I am more excited than you are, hahaha! I wish you all could win!

Thank you, too for your kind word to my last post, I am sure Ai would be happy to hear all about it. I sent her the link to the post, hopefully it will cheer her up! As I already mentioned her in my last post, I thought maybe you are interested in my time with her in Shikoku, Japan? Then I will write about it now and in my next posts.

I got to know Ai from the Glory Bee penpal page in 2007. She wrote an email to me, saying that she'd like to exchange letters with me. So we started to do so. In  October 2008 I finally met her, she invited me to her house in Kotohira, Shikoku. I was travelling with a friend, and we visited her for one week. We took the Shinkansen from Osaka to Okayama, then change trains and finally arrived in Kotohira, where she picked us up by car. Have some fotos!

On our way to Okayama

Inside the train...there was no one except us travelling on this route XDD

Passing the Setonaikai Bridge which links Shikoku with the main island Honshu. We were told it is 20 kilometres long!

Ai and her fat cat Mii-chan. Aren't they lovely?? <33 I hope she won't kill me for posting this XD

Mii-chan sleeping on MY futon XDD

Well, I hope this was interesting for you! Next time I will write about the Chousa Matsuri Festival in Kotohira, which we were able to participate, thanks to Ai's help! Look forward to that!
