Today, I was checking the newspaper. It seems like that all over Japan is a kind of sunny. I can see all red in there… yeah, it has been so hot. Also, officially the raining reason is over.

At night, I went to Shibuya by walk with my mom. Just buying some foods and looking around the city. We had a free ticket of Starbucks, yay. We ordered the biggest size of caramel frappuccino, hihihi.

 so huge….

And…my mother’s friend sent a pic of kitty,hihihi. His hair became normal because he is having food properly nowadays

 His hair and weight is normal now, huu

I met my friends, Yuko and Hiroko yesterday in Akishima.They came to Mexico for our wedding two years ago!(Picture from two years ago) Since then, we all could not meet together.

Yuko has a baby Nanami, so we decided to meet the place where it is close to Yuko’s house. I met her baby last summer, so she grew up so much.

The place was a big shopping center. We had a lunch together and looking around the shops inside. Since it was so hot, we wanted to stay inside of the shopping center because of AC, yay

It was funny that it was non-stop talking for five hours, hahaha. I thought it was good that Andreas was not there because ladies chat is so fast and so many topics at the same time. He would complain it if he was there, hihihi. Hiroko will have her wedding party in Hawaii next January. I am already excited about it, hahaha.

Nanami likes to take a photo. Look at her pose!

It was my first time to find a baby cat on the street.

My mother and I was walking at night, then suddenly some little thing was coming to us. It was moving and so small. I thought that it was a huge mouse first, but he was moving so slow…Yeah, it was a baby cat, kitty….

It seemed like that her mother left her and she was looking for her mother. She was SO skinny and dirty. So we kept her and tried to give some foods, water and milk. She did not know how to drink and eat, so we gave her some water with the needle.

It was good for me because Andreas left Japan to Finland at the same day, so I replaced him to this kitty, hahaha. I took care of this kitty until she got asleep.

Next day, my mother’s friend wanted to keep this kitty. We are glad that this kitty is safe now We have a reason not to keep this kitty. My father and grandmother dislike cats, hehehe. If not, of course we kept this cat.

My kitty for one day

We had a good-bye party for Andreas in Shibuya

This time we went to

1. Maruhashi
2. Uotami
3. Karaoke again…

Andreas and I liked the Izakaya ” Maruhachi” , so we took my family to this place. It was not so crowded this time , because it was still on Thursday We had dinner and drunk beers. But my dad did not like this place, so we switched to the different place. At the second place, we had only beers and small snacks.

@Maruhachi

I like this Izakaya, because they have many funny stuff inside, hahaha

@Uotami

Of course, we love to go to Karaoke But this time we only sang for 1.5 hours, hahaha. The place was where we had a wedding party 4 years ago. This place reminded us about that party a lot.

Everyone love Karaoke in my family

Are they singing together?? Is it in Japanese, English or …Spanish??!!

Wow…here in Japan, there are many Finnish metal songs in Karaoke database. Andreas is always saying that “It is so amazing that so many Finnish metal songs here!!!”

I watched the movie that is the latest movie by Studio Ghibli, “Ponyo on the cliff by the Sea“ 

I have been watching the Ghibli animation since I was a kid. For example, Tororo, Chihiro…etc. The thema song of Ponyo is so funny. Once you hear everyone will sing this, hahaha. In Japan, many kids love this character,Ponyo. I also love this,  hihihi.

It was my first time to go to Outlet in Japan. My aunts and cousins joined us to go to Outlet because the place was close to their houses. It was nice to see them again.

BUT it took us to go there almost for two hours…

It was a big shopping mall

I was so happy to visit this Outlet, hehehe. Bought cute clothes

my family

with my cousin, Satomi. Wow~~she has the same height as Andreas!!

Yesterday, I screwed up my Blog by mistake. We were trying to update WordPress, but by mistake we stopped it during updating….and also, the latest version doesn’t support Japanese character….

I am sorry for inconvenient that you might see funny characters on my Blog (Helloneko)

Friday night is very good time to see people in Shibuya, because everyone is drinking and many events are going on always.

We decided to go out to Shibuya to do pub crawls. We could only go to 3 different bars this time. It was very fun so we want to do this again.

First one was “Hobgobling (Irish bar)” It was more crowded than what I expected. The atmosphere was like somewhere in Europe. Only foreign beers were sold, so prices were a bit expensive. If you miss European beers, it might be good idea to drink there. Oh, they did not sell Finnish beers, though

Then, second stop was Maruhachi. We were always curious about this shop, because they have always a big queue Finally, we could have a chance to go in, hahaha. The foods were very tasty and creative. The prices were okay for foods and drinks. You will see the funny decoration inside.

The third one is called “Gaspanic“. It was like hip-hop bar inside. It is free entrance and you can dance hip-hop if you like. We were also curious about this shop, because it has funny neon color outside, hahaha. I was feeling strange, because I was wearing the Singapore fashion ( short pant, tops from Malaysia, and sandales). Everyone was dressing up nicely, hehehe.

We really enjoyed this night! After this, we went to a big discount shop and bought funny stuff to bring back to Finland.

We bought keroro hat!

Oh, if you want to see kitties and puppies, there is a pet shop in front of the Maruhachi shop

Karaoke is very common way to have a fun in Japan.

I went to Karaoke with my family twice already People like to go there after having some beer and a little party such as going to Izakaya.

at Izakaya “Kanpa~~i”

Nowadays, there is a machine that has database of songs. They have a lot of foreign songs as well, so Andreas can find his songs easily.

—>—> Got your song!
choose a song                         which song you want? Even Finnish band’s songs are there

I didn’t like singing in front of people because I can’t sing the fast song like hiphop… I was afraid of making a mistake, hahaha. Lately, I was practicing to sing the latest songs in Finland! I know more songs than my sister does, hehehe. So I am always ready to go to Karaoke anytime, ya!

Here is snap shot from Karaoke night.

We usually go out to Shibuya!

I had an interview this day…Tokyo is getting hotter and hotter everyday Even though, I had to wear the suits… The interview was all right.

After this interview, Andreas and I met one of our old friend, Takashi. We met him when we were at MUC. It seems like that Andreas and he were good buddies each other at that time. But both got busy lately, so they had not been seeing each other for more than two years. Well, it was good to see him.

First, we visited his company and had a little chat in the meeting room there. Then, we went to Izakaya and had foods and drinks. Wow wow, guys were drinking so fast. They had drunk much high alcohol in one hours. The booze is called Shochu, which is 25% alcohol, hehehe. Another Shochu was opened by them after 1.5 hours, hihihi. Of course, Andreas is not used to drink hard booze lately, so we got almost wasted at that time.The foods were so tasty and cheap at that shop Guys were drinking, but I was EATing, hehehe.

It was still 8pm, but i left them to go back home. And they were keeping drinking at the different place, i guess?! Anyway, Andreas came back to home with safe, hahaha. We had a good time at that time “25% alcohol, Shochu”

Funny pics
