The beds( = seats) were very bad last night. My back was hurting more…:( I was so happy that I could have Starbucks coffee in the morning. I ordered “Dolche de Leche”, and it was quite good
Me with Starbucks

Bye bye Boston!

The shadow of our plane,hihihi

I have not seen Andreas’ family since I left in Mexico last May. It was very nice to see them again We had a dinner at his home and watch a movie. During the dinner, I had so many spicy with my mouth. I didn’t remember how many time I cried with chille Since I was so tired, I did not even know what time I went to sleep, hahaha. Now I am recovering!

Mama prepared for the dinner

Tacos!

Dog was greeting us. “Hello Hitomi and Andreas”.

Hola Amigos,

Now I am in Mexico. I decided to write my diary here. When I was writing my travel diary from Spain, I was almost forgetting Hope you enjoy my loong trip diary this time, hihihi.

On April 18th, I woke up at 3am and got ready for my traveling. Oh it was horrible because it was Too early for me. At the Vantaa airport, there were very few people around 4am. You know, lately the airport is very strict. You can’t take a lot of liquid so it is so hard for me because I love to take a lot of my stuff with me…Anyway we passed through without any problems. The flight was on time and only a couple of hours to get in Paris. The airport in Paris was so huge.

Empty airport

Nice Chairs for relaxing!

Good morning with smile

Nice service, thanks Air France.

It was my first time to sit on the second floor. It was more comfortable and space for my legs.

After 7.5 hours flight, We reached in Boston!Long flight was killing my neck and back. Also the time difference. Andreas was walking with sleeping face. We just went to the shopping center and had a dinner there. I have not seen the American foods for a long time ,so my stomach was surprising with the foods. Also I bought my favorite cosmetics

Just normal shopping center

After shopping and dinner, we came back to the airport to sleep. Since our next flight was very early, our hotel were the airport seats,hehehe.

In this morning, Andreas showed me a nice website.
Also I have this website on my Blog now

Let’s make friends all over the world!

Add yourself to my map!!!

On this weekend, I am shopping for spring cloths since I don’t have any Spring＆Summer cloths here So now it is good time to buy cloths! I feel warmer even the weather is like this

So now I have spring cloths, cute sandals, thin jacket, etc. Girls love shopping always, I guess I can’t stop buying cute cloths

When I came to Finland, I felt weird about the weekend. Most of the shops were closed on Sunday. I did not see many people on the streets, and my shopping was done in a couple of hours. I Could not believe this fact. I was not excited at all.

In Tokyo, it is the opposite. Same as in Mexico city and US cities The weekend is the best day to go shopping. It is so crowdy and you can find good deal sometimes. There is never enough time for shopping. Since I grew up in the city, I need to see crowdy places, crazy people, excitement in the city, and many kinds of shops,hihihi

But now it IS different here. There ARE many people in the city. I can see that people are having fun, wow. People are drinking on the terraces I love this atmopsphere

Still continuing about my shopping story… At the book shop, I bought the book about Cancun. I will read this one on the plane Another book I bought was “1,000 places to see before you die” Let’s see how many places I will travel in my life. Andreas and I are hoping we can travel 1000 places, hahaha

Nicely crowded, city of Helsinki

Samurai Blue Andreas

Many books about Finland

More traveling!

Beer Cow, good job!

Andreas and I made plans for Cancun last night! One of his friend is living in Cancun area now, and we are getting some tips from him My favorite day is that swimming with Dolphins I hope I can become friend of Dolphin,hahaha.

I am relaxing with Andreas on this long weekend I invented the pork dish with Finnish foods. It is very tasty, and good with Beer I will try to cook it for my family when I go back to Japan. My parents still don’t believe that I am a good cook ,hahaha. Yeah sure, because I could not cook anything a few years ago. Also my mom’s cooking is so delicious, so I’d better eat her cooking Anyway, here is my invention.

Andreas really likes it very much

Another day, Andreas and I went to the Mexican restaurant in Helsinki, Cantina West. They had buffet style, but especially Andreas’ stomach got smaller. At least, we tried to eat 3 tacos and cakes

Cantina West

  Looks like “Helsinki Ghost down”

We don’t do special thing in Easter. Just staying at home and relaxing In the evening, me and Andreas went to Kimmo and Susanna’s house to have some dinner. Andreas made sushi again, but he did not like the shape of sushi this time. He said “This shape is not perfect”. Yeah, but when the foods go to your stomach, the shape does not really matter,hehehe. I cooked miso soup with vegetables. Kimmo and Susanna gave us the two kinds of Finnish traditional deserts. One of them were very sweat and tasted like the New York Cheesecake. The other one called Mämmi. OMG. It looks terrible, but the taste was eatable I think it was good to have some experience today

The first sweet desert,Fran!

This GreenTea has the Apple Flavor,wow. You never find like this tea in Japan! Actually the taste was pretty nice

Thie is Mämmi. According to the ingredient, Only Rye, Salt and Water! I did like Kimmo’s way. Put some sugar and cream with Mämmi. Taste better!

It is the first time to celebrate for my birthday in Finland! This birthday is also the first time to celebrate with Andres  I feel so happy and finally my dreaming is coming true. When I was in the US, I was always getting a phone call, instead of having a good time with him No more being separating with him, so I can ask him many presents now,hahaha By the way, according to my mother, I was born around 9pm.

Andres and I went to Belgium restaurant in Helsinki. Andres’ friends, Hunnu and baris joined us tonight. It was nice to see them again. I was so happy that everyone congratulate on my birthday:) I feel like this year will be good somehow.

My favorite dish Daisuki de Arimasu!

After that, we went to an Irish bar callesd Molly Malones to wait for the movie. The movie we saw today was Goya’s Ghost. Goya is a Spanish painter. I saw many of his paintings in Spain last month, and some scenes were from Aranjuez where we just visited The movie was not based on his life, but more on Spanish history.

I have been so nervous since yesterday  I did not feel so good, and checked the Interenet like crazy! Just because my school would respond TODAY!! I checked the school website 2 times per a hour, hahaha. Around noon, I have a Finnish class. Therefore, you can imagine that my concentration was not at school but somewhere else, sorry teacher… After I came back from my Finnish class, I checked out the website! YES My name is on the list!! WoW WoW. I am gonna be in a Master Program from this September. I am dreaming about having a Masters degree since I graduated with my Bachelors degree! I would like to say “Thank you for helping me to Andreas, Kurt, and Patty” I got Acceptance today! My mother and family is so happy to hear about the result. They always ask me about this result when I call them My favorite character Keroro and Doraemon!

Today I received a package from my mom, Emiko-dono!! Emiko-dono sent me 2 swimwears and some Japanese snacks which are my favorites! Even though I will go to Cancun this month, I didn’t have any swimwears yet,hahaha The procedure is like this; I choose the swimwear in Yahoo shopping. Then, my mom tells me that this package will be my birthday present★★ I am so happy!! Now I have to go to gym everyday for these swimwear After I come back from Spain, my shape is something different. I hope I can fix before going to Cancun!!! Oh~~I am missing my mom and family, but I will see my new family in Mexico soon
