This Friday was awesome! We went to drink with my parents and Finnish friend, Sirena. Her family is coming to Japan next day! We shouldn’t giver her so many drinks, but we did it! She was claiming she cannot drink so much. In the end, she drunk a lot and we were so happy about it!
first place was at Izakaya! 1280yen ( around 8.5 euros) It was drink free for 2 hours.

After we said ‘bye bye’ to my parents, we went to bar ishee. We wanted to see the rock band at Cyclone, but it was over. SO we asked which rock bars are good around Shibuya?
The band ‘ISIS’ from US was there. (originally from Boston). A member of ISIS recognized my University too! They had the concert next day so doing pre\party at the bar isshee! We took a memorial pic, hahaha
And Andreas and Sirena spoke in Japanese all day! They said it was good practice speaking in Japanese! The Japanese customers at the bar were amazed with their effort to use our language! Anyway, we will continue partying on Friday from now on!
Time flies so fast
Maybe watching the Vancouver Olympic made me feel like that?!
Yesterday, I found a funny green tea shop and ordered green tea latte!
When I put this picture on facebook, I got some comments saying ‘ it looks interesting, funny, and so on’ I like to try many different funny stuff so I think I made a point
Today, it is 20C (57F) and sunny day! It is getting nice weather, finally!

Before cherry bloosom, we see a flower of plum. I went to the plum festival with my Finnish friend. She likes to visit the Japanese Shrine and temples. I picked the shirine ’Yushima Tenmangu’ up this time.

(top and bottom teeth)
OMG it was really painful, but now I feel better, yay!
We went out with my parents on Friday night. Mmmm i don’t remember about what they are talking in the train.
to complicated country, Hitomi! I am feeling like this lately. Everything is complicated to me here.
Enrolling to the gym, paying the bill, asking to customer service by phone, even renting a DVD…:( I forgot completely to deal with it, sigh. Let’s see what will be my next commitment. Well, I can feel your pain who are from abroad. Everything is complicated and so many things you have to do. On the other hand, we must feel so good abroad because many thing are so simple!
I hope someday the process in this country will simplify for me 
Friday night, we went to drink with my mother! Since my dad was drinking with his colleagues, i invited her to come with us. It was very fun and nice time!

I was looking at some fashion magazine today
It is already showing the Spring fashion, wow! It seems like Finland is minus 20 degrees like crazy cold winter. However, in Japan people are waiting for Spring already. It is funny, isn’t it??

I came back in Tokyo! From now on, I will write my blog from Tokyo in Japan!
It took me for a while to set up my new life here. Moving to new apartment, get internet, cell phone, TV, desk, refrigerator…etc
it is almost ready for life in Tokyo!
The weather is nice here compared to Finland! Even it is cold, you can see blue sky and sun light
that is the biggest change for me. No more depression in my heart
But I left here since 2001, yeah I need to make new friends and network…might be tough but I have to try
