vacation

It's almost the end of my vacation here in Quebec.

Everything start really slowly cause it was raining like every day! lol And my parents was working so... since I don't have my driver license... and anyway they only had one car ( no way I'll get up at 6:30 in the morning only for using their car! ) I was at the campground the whole week... pretty boring!

but last weekend I was in Quebec city with my crazy friends... gosh I miss them so bad! lol I think last time I was in the old Quebec its like... 10 years ago... maybe less but I know for sure since I'm in Florida every winter, I didn't go there so it's more than 7years for sure.

I wish I can show some picture here but I'm not on my computer so... sorry

actually I think I can put picture... but my camera is in my bag and my bad is in the RV and bah... I'm not inside... so and since I'm lazy today...

That's weird... since I use this blog, that's the first time I'm not writing something about Japan... euh no second time... but the first time It was my first post so damn I have to write something for introduce myself right ?

Anyway, my vacation gonna be over this weekend so next week... back to work!^^

With this post, I'll finally gonna finish everything about my vacation in Japan. I had great time there, actually, I hope to go back in Japan soon. I like this Country for a long time now but with my vacation, I just fall in love with everything in Japan.

Can we fall in love with a whole Country ?

Yes of course...

At the moment hen I get out the plane, everybody was really nice. Some of them didn't talk english but they try so hard to help us. And the moment I get in the plane at the end... They make me feel like home. Even better...

After I left Tokyo I realize something... I live around cavemen... Seriously, people are rude here... They don't great when you come in the store. In Japan, they great you, said thanks and goodbye when you leave.

If you ask for a direction, here they gonna give it to you if they know the place you looking for but half of the time they don't have or sometimes even with their direction... you get lost anyway...

In Japan, they sometimes stop and ask you if you need help or they gonna take time to help you if you search for a specific place. Even if they don't speak english really well... They don't care, they gonna do everything for make sure you understand. They show you on your map and draw a plan for make sure you get what you want. And if they know some one who talk english better than them, they ask for more help so they can help us... Gosh they are so nice there!

We saw a lots of men with purse... it's crazy... now I think it's weird to see men without them here... lol You see a lots of men with baby... Sometime they had the baby and their wife had the diaper bags.^^

If they call for rain for the day, in the train ( subways to I guess ) everybody had a umbrella... well almost everybody... 3 littles weirdo didn't had one... guess who ? US! lol

They had all kind of toilet there... It's funny... the best one was the squat toilet... I use them twice I think... but damn... hen you had to go... you had to go right ? lol They are not really good for my knees but oh well didn't had choice... Other toilet was cool ! Some of them was normal but they had some of them with hot seat, water jet, vapor jet, noise ( flushing noise! lol ) plastic cover ( you just push the bottom and the plastic change eheh ) in the toilet they had kids seat so you can put your baby there until you're done. In some park, you need toilet paper... ( yoyogi park! lol ) So I guess that's why at every station, they had people giving you tissues... so... take them sometimes so if you need a public toilet... and no paper toilet... you still have your tissues... lol If you don't want squat toilet, try handicap one... they are normal !

Nah seriously... I can't wait to go back in Japan... I miss this Country so much...

Last day...

Now the last day for my vacation... Sorry I took so much time to write everything... Gomennaisai...

So the last day... Since Aline wasn't leaving because all the flight was cancel ( volcano remember? ) she had to move in another room, so Vicky and I was getting ready to leave when Aline was in the office for another room. We didn't had to leave to early so after Aline move, we move with her! Lol

Later... time to leave... this time we knew where we had to go for the skyliner so it was fast... actually not that fast since we had to ask for direction cause we couldn't found the place... anyway it was faster this time... lol

Buy all the ticket ( Aline came with us ) and wait for the train. I liked this train... they gave us place with number like in the bus or plane but we still can sit everywhere... lol

It was funny, I was waiting to see where Aline and Vicky was going to get up to leave the train... I was smiling since they was ready to leave little bit to early. The first stop in the airport was the second terminal but Vicky had to go in the first one so they had to sit again and wait. Get out the train and start walking. And keep walking... damn we walk a lot in this airport... anyway I show Vicky where she had to go, we give hugs and Aline and I turn around for the second terminal since it was my flight there. Before we stop at the line where Aline was suppose to leave and ask some question.

In the second terminal, I found out that the plane from Seoul was there... at the customs border... so it's mean... Yunho and Changmin was there... not to far from ME!!! So we wait little bit longer there... but I finally have to go... didn't want miss my flight...T_T

Get in the plane after a lots of hug... Poor Aline, alone in Japan... but not for long since Vicky stay there for another reason ( that's my blog... Vicky wrote about that in her blog... lol )

Actually I had to wait so I walk around and look if I could by more gift ( I was looking for CD and DVD lol ) in one place, they play Tohoshinki best album... but NOOOOOOo they didn't have it in sale... T_T

In the plane, the guy next to me was so nice... he gave me nuts... lol a curry spicy mix.. it was so good!lol

I gave him cookies! When he gave me the little bags of nuts, he say I could spit it out if I didn't like it... but it was so good, didn't know curry was good... lol

We laughed everytime they bring us food... I had big plate and wverything and he had little one... like for supper I had lasagna, salad, juice, fruit salad, candy and chocolate mousse... he had some meat we didn't really know what kind.. lol

In Texas I miss my plane for Florida for some stupid stamp I didn't had in my passport... so I had to take another flight but the next one was the next day... so between 6PM until 7AM... I was doing nothing... except internet! lol I could sleep but I was alone and bah sorry but I really don't like falling in sleep in airport when nobody is there... lol I look maybe twice the board for make sure my flight was at the same gate... good thing... they changed it early in the morning...

I jump in the plane in time and people was still coming inside...I was sleeping... until everybody start leaving the plane... then I woke up! lol

DONE!! I'm finally done with my vacation... I still have some random picture to show you but later... I don't have time tonight... XD

I have more picture of course, but I really want to write another post so...

The Tower who get destroy long time ago ( look my post before, to lazy to write what's happening! lol ) and the view from the tower... and of course... Sakura... I love those trees! lol

Tea field...that's pretty... don't know if it's gonna change like if we gonna see more colours but right now ( when I took the picture lol ) that's pretty.^^

For the second place in the Garden... the one when Aline wasn't with us ( T_T) we had to get this ticket... and it's free... XD lol

Guard Post... The small one was actually at the entry, 2 entry for the garden so 2 littles guard post, the big one was the principale guardhouse... so when guard wasn't working... they stay there! lol

Honestly I don't know why those bridge can be in good condition after so many years... lol

That's the first thing we saw before going in the garden... I don't know why but I just love fountain! lol Japan have really nice fountain!^^

I'm late! So late! I'm so sorry!

One month later I finally put the two last post for my vacation in Japan... I'm so sorry...

Good thing everything is already in my little book. The next post gonna be all the picture for this 2 days missing...

so...get ready for sunday and monday on my last day in Japan.

Rah, I know, I didn't write nothing since saturday! Sorry!

So sunday morning we leave early ( bah maybe not that early but anyway ) we decide to go see the Imperial garden. We knew the Palace was closed but maybe we could have a chance to see it. I was happy to see the garden because... that the Imperial Palace so damn the garden should be beautiful right ?

So in the train, Aline's feet start to hurt again... So she decide to leave after the park. Since we had to walk a long way for the Tokyodome, it was a good thing for her. I felt bad for her because of her feet, she miss thing. She still had picture from Vicky and I but it's not the same.

So we got out the train and found out we had to walk again... poor Aline!

The fountain in front of the garden was really pretty. It was probably the best thing ! We walk like for nothing. Some building was nice but all the gate was closed and they had like four guard in front of each door! Nah the fountain wasn't the only good thing... The guy who was with the troops was cute too. He look really yough but still cute. Perfect for Aline who like young Japanese guys! AHAH

So after we walk everywhere, Aline decided to go back a the Ryokan. So after she left, it was like are we going at the tokyodome now ? But I saw the bridge and since I know it was impossible for the garden to be that small ( On the map it's huge ! ) so we decided to take a look there.

Good thing we did! That's beautiful. I learn thing about the Edo period and I already lost half of it... ( Don't take to much for me... I forgot everything... maybe that's why I wasn't that good at school! lol ) But one thing I remember... three houseguard remind and the principale is still there too ! Oh and the big tower... Bah the one who look like a little hill took maybe five years ( not sure... ahah damn memory! ) to be done and get destroy by fire nineteen years later! They never built it back... maybe because it's take too long! lol

Oh and the Palace... like in front the emperor meet public and he live in the middle ( I though the Palace was a big huge building like we see in movie... but it's all kind of building ... ) and in the back, his wife, childrens and the female staff stay there.

So after the walk in the garden, we really left for the Tokyodome.

The only reason why I was happy about the Tokyodome it's because Junho was doing his first showcase there. And bah, Junsu was there too! Junho was there at 1PM and 5PM ( Junsu was there for the later one ) it took us a long time before getting there. We walk a lot!

When we saw the rollercoaster, we knew it was close. We finally reach our destination. Damn that place is big! We decided to walk around. The are so much thing to see. We ate takoyaki again... It's so good. Those takoyaki was the best. Vicky buy another CD in the shopping mall there. they had paper we can fill for Junsu single... I almost did it! ( Since I'm back home, I'm upset about something... yes DBSK single and album there is little but expensive but since I still have 2 500YEN with me... I should buy one... XD )

I was crazy about the rollercoaster Vicky wasn't... when she finally change her mind, we look the price... 1 000Yen... I didn't want spend that much money so we left ( again with the money I still have since my vacation... I should use it for that too... ) I'm sure Vicky was happy... AHAH

Around 5PM we walk back where Junho had is Showcase. That's funny but we saw more women in their 40s waiting to get in. Actually I didn't see to much girl around 20s.

We wait next to the press entry. Don't know maybe one of them was gonna ask us to bring his camera or his laptop. bah... we are not that lucky.

I ask the security what they gonna do with the CD in the box. I had to talk slowly so he can understand me. Vicky told me before, she can't understand when I talk to fast in english. So finally after talking with him and moving my hands, I finally got my answer... no ticket... no CD.

They are not for sell...

One lady was there with a CD in her hand. She was in the press section. I ask her if I can see the CD... At first she wasn't sure but I look like a angel right ? Se she let me see it. Gosh I shouldn't do that... I want this CD so bad!

So when everybody was inside and us... well outside ( lol ) we saw they still had a lot of paper ( they give a paper and a CD... don't know what's on the paper but Junho picture was there... lol ) left and well... we decided we can ask them to have one right ? They can't use them for the next showcase since it's write in Japanese. Ask one security but his english was really bad... so he ask another one who was better in english... she couldn't understand so she ask another one... ( I love that about Japanese people... they try so hard to understand us...^^ ) I almost got my paper but another one show up... ( I guess he was maybe little bit more a security chef anyway... they paid him more lol ) so he said no. No ticket... No paper... T_T

So we wait little bit longer... and we left... we ate at the mcdonalds again... HEY one thing bad about that... We thought we could take picture of a japanese big mac or maybe me paper so we can show people we ate there... all the food and paper look likes normal mcdonalds... it's suck!! lol

So we get back at the train station. ready for going back at the ryokan. maybe at three station down we stop and had to get out. We thought maybe the train was broke or something like that so we wait for the next one... but everybody get out too... they explain the reason but we don't understand Japanese... so I was one girl if she talk english, she said little bit but she explain the reason... accident ... the next train was at 9PM... it was 8:15... first we wait but damn, it wasn't that far so we ask the little security and he look the map and everything. it's gonna take us maybe 30min. So he told us to turn right and keep walking and we gonna be at the right station. We walk and walk and... walk again... 20 min later whe saw a bridge but... we didn't saw a bridge before and since we use this train line since two weeks... we knew we miss something... lol

ask one cyclist there... good thing his english was perfect so he help us and since he wasn't sure, he ask a policeman the direction. So we got back on the right direction. at the train station... surprise... not the same line... Since this train station was like not to far from the one we had to get out... so maybe we can walk there... at the grocery store we ask direction. three young Japanese ( maybe not that young since they are around our age lol ) help us... they had so much fun! lol One lady was helping us cause the three other one wasn't really talking in english... lol They explain to us how to get at the right station. We still ask the other station and they told us it was impossible to walk there cause it's to far. So bah... I was tired and hungry again... so we took that train get out at the last station, jump in another train and this time... our station! lol

We had fun that day! lol

So... me again... The restaurant was for Okonomiyaki. Don't know the name of the restaurant but anyway... We try Okonomiyaki and that's the place for!^^ It's Japanese crepes and it's so good... actually I think it looks like omelett! lol

So when you get there, they give you a table like this and start the plate. Vicky chose meat mix or something like that... she had chicken, pork and shrimp. Aline and I had bacon and cheese.

Step 1:


Step 2:


Step 3 : ARF try to mix everything in this little tiny bowl!! damn it's not easy!


Step 4 : I didn't spill nothing!! YEAH! lol Time to cook now!


Step 5 :Everything look so good! But now we have to wait! Vicky's plate was so big... her Okonomiyaki was bigger! lol


Step 6 : It's already time to flip my crepes but before, I but some salt/pepper and Okonomiyaki sauce.^^


Step 7 : The best part! lol The eating part!! Mayonnaise on top and ... It's so good!!! Gosh I want some more!


After the restaurant, Aline left for the Ryokan and Vicky and I went to Shibuya 109... That's a towel with shop only for woman... bags, accessoiries, clothes... it's like 9 floors but that's small. Don't take to long for walk one floor. I guess they had something special there cause it was hard to walk... to many people there. after doing all the store and waiting for Vicky cause she buy her bag there, back to harajuku for walk a little bit. I found Avex artist academy... it's small... really small... they doing some construction or something like that... I can't believe I'll say it but... Johnny's building is better... T_T and bigger...

We walk in like 3 or 4 different shop where they sell idol pictures... They had so many different groups! lol all from Johnny's and Avex company. We had fun! lol

Vicky didn't try crepes yet. So we found a place so she can try.^^ I had chocolate with cheesecake and she try blueberry cheesecake. That's so good.^^ It's not my first time, last week I had choco-banana crepes.^^

After everything, time to get back at home. We didn't want to be late cause Ohno's drama was at 9PM ( we miss the beginning for another drama T_T ) it's crazy but right now I'm looking for 3 Japanese dramas! lol

Now it's 12:24AM for me... I'm tired so... good night !^^

Tomorrow it's Imperial Palace... but this park I don't care... I just want to see Junho showcase cause his brother is there too...lol we don't have ticket... T_T but that's ok I guess... maybe we'll see them anyway! lol

I'm back!!! lol

It's late... I'm tired but I have to write something right?

I didn't do to much today... We left for Meiji Shrine... I was happy cause it's a beautiful place and on weekend, we can see traditional Japanese Wedding. So we went to yoyogi station. The Shrine is next to the park so its normal if we get out at Yoyogi station since the park is Yoyogi right?

WRONG! lol we had to get out one station before so... back in the train again for the other station. But this time we had to found the right exit... walk in circle... ( we did that a lot in 2 weeks! lol ) Good think it's next to the station... Aline still have problem with her feet!


That's the door for the park around the Shrine.^^

That's the door for the Shrine... lol That's the same kind of door! I know but I like my door! lol

2 weddings today! YEAH!!

I want a Japanese weddings! Their dress are so beautiful!^^




And actually... I didn't enjoy this Shrine... I think Temple was better... we don't have to much to see...


Before the door, and if you want to enter the Shrine ( I didn't do it... XD ) you had to rince your mouth and wash your hand in this water... I know people are not suppose to touch the cup but... I didn't want take chance and bah drink without spill water all over me because I can't touch the cup... that's mission impossible! lol

And I took picture but I swear... theirs nothing to see so I don't put my picture here! lol You don't miss nothing... trust me!

We went to Yoyogi park too... and walk again... that's a nice park but I think sakura is almost done... we didn't see to many flowers lol

We went to Johnny's shop again cause this time Aline and I wanted some pictures and bah Vicky buy more pictures too! We went before going at the shrine... to many people so we need to wait for more that 2 hours... so we decided to start with the Shrine and the park. So after everything... back to the shop... This time was good... 30 minutes later and 2 pictures later... we left. Actually it's was impossible to walk there... it's so small and I hate that so I told Vicky which pictures to buy and I gave her money and left! lol I was waiting outside.^^

Aline's feet was killing her so we left for the restaurant after that. She ate with us and then she left.^^

Since it was my first time in this kind of restaurant... a new post is important! lol
