Elle's Adventures

First of all, sorry for letting my posts get so behind! I think about blogging all the time, but time doesn't allow me to get around to it. I realise I haven't made a post since around the time of my birthday, about three months ago. To tell the truth, I am still having major troubles with image hosting sites, and I don't like to post unless I have at least one photo. However, life still goes on and more exciting events happen that I want to write about. So I suppose I will add in photos later if possible. So getting to the exciting stuff!! (I hope...) On December 24th 2012, my Mum, Colin and Alex came to Japan for a wonderful holiday! I met them at Nagoya airport, and we stayed in Kani for a few days. On the 26th we headed for Tokyo. Unfortunately we weren't to experience, or even see the craziness of the city; time limits and all that. However, the reason we went to Tokyo was for Disneyland! I really love characters like Hello Kitty, but Ive never been huge on...

On Friday, 1st May, I got to University, and realised I had left my shinkansen (bullet train) tickets at the dormitory. I was already feeling not so happy...in fact Nasu-san approached me before class began to ask whether I was okay; my reaction showed I was not. She listened to my problems, and made me feel a lot better :) After class she even gave me a really, really lovely card, saying that we could talk any time I would like. She's a very lovely person. Anyway, I went back to the dorm by bus, got my tickets, then caught the subway back to Uni to pick up my bags, then Natalia and I went together to Nagoya station, which is about 15 - 20 minutes by subway. We parted, as she was going to Osaka by bus. And so my adventure began!! My tummy was full of butterflies as I had never done anything like this before; especially in a country that speaks an entirely different language! Nevertheless, I found the platform and received a very lovely phone call from Dede, how lucky! ...
