Day two - resting

Hi again!

On the second day I woke up at 4pm (local time). Crazy huh? T's neck was hurting bad because we didn't have a pillow. When I woke up everyone had had lunch already but my mother in law had some salmon onigiri waiting for me and a cup of that yummy green tea cappuccino. I am kinda forgetting to take pictures of the food like I always do (and of mostly everything) but i'll try to be more careful from now on.

We decided to go buy some pillows for the next time so we went to the local supermarket (that sells basically everything) for some. T's dad took us by car and stayed in the car waiting so I didn't take a lot of time browsing everything, just went for the pillows. Well I'm sort of lying because I stopped at a hat stall that had sales going on and tried on some hats and berets. Loved one beret but decided I want to buy a brand classic one instead and T loved this hat one me and after seeing I wasn't going to buy it, just gave me the hat. haha nice way of solving "conflicts", like that XD

We came back home after that and I started unpacking. I didn't bring a lot of stuff, just my iron gate dress for the M10M concert, makeup, a shirt ot two and that's more or less it. What I had to unpack was a pile of packaged for stuff I had gotten for myself online before coming as well as stuff for the store in Portugal.
I might need to make some more money while I'm here so maybe I'll make a sales post on the egl comm before sending them.

Anyway there were three dresses/sets I had gotten for myself. Love them all on me but am just keeping the black ones for now.


Metamorphose temps de fille white Crown Cross shirred high waist jsk
Such a confortable dress, perfect for walking around here and I adore the print so much! Just had to buy it.


Metamorphose temps de fille Swan Border light coat and jsk
I have a complete set of this print at the store and fell in love with it the second I saw it live. For some reson all the things I ADORE at the store are hardly ever sold. I seriously do not know why and I usually end up keeping them but i do not like wearing skirts at all so i was fighting that urge until I found these two babies. Now I can own the print without having to keep a skirt in my closet of ops and jsk. I hate the buttons on the jacket, they are plastic and tacky and will be switched when i go back to portugal most probably but everything else is pure perfection, even the fit.

At night we had dinner in familly, we ate house made Nabe. Nabe is a sort of Japanese stew that has vegetables and meat of some sort. This one had animal guts too and to some that can be disgusting but don't forget I am Portuese and that one of my city's staple dishes is "tripas à moda do Porto" basically translated to "tripes in Oporto style". It was amazing, so yummy, loved it.



Obviously being such good hosts I had some awesome sake, some beer (Ebisu) and some matcha ice or green tea ice cream as dessert! They know me so well! <3
Individual plate, that's what it looks like once the dish is ready.


Surume: tried this and its addictive. Dried squid snack.


Kazunoko - herring eggs snack, I am sure most people I know would never try this for its looks as well as that slime it has covering it but I actually quite liked it.
They do say I eat almost anything and that it makes me a weird foreigner.


Matcha ice - His mom asked me if i wanted the small one or the big one, I said small, i was so stuffed! And it was HD too, sooo goood!

We spent some quality time in familly (found out me and T's mom both dislike Smap from watching tv haha) and then went to sleep again. We didn't do much but I felt like I just came to life again, such peace.

Thank you for reading again!
Love,
Jo

  1. As roupas: Adoro, principalmente o casaco é girissimo!

    A comida: Acho que só conseguia comer o gelado disso tudo, então o "Kazunoko", quando abri o link da wikipedia e vi aquela imagem, que horror (a tua foto tem melhor aspecto). ahahaha agora já sei que quando for ao Japão um dia vou passar muita fome, ou vou andar a gelados a viagem inteira :P.

    Deve ser mesmo bom e acolhedor estar aí no Japão e para além de visitares as coisas todas ainda teres uma casa e uma familia simpática para te receber! Que sorte tens!!

    Beijinhos, fico à espera de mais posts :D

  2. Hahaha oh lucy, aquilo sao so ovas de peixe, nao comes em portugal? o.o
    Não, a serio que não, tens comida normal em todo o lado e por 3 euros já comes mega taça de udon em qualquer lado se quiseres. E ha bue fast food tb. Eu e que gosto de comida caseira de experimentar tudo o que eles tb comem. :P
    Eles ficam super contentes claro.

    Ainda bem que gostas da roupa nova, acho que tem tudo a ver comigo. Tenho que me livrar da mania de usar sweet stuff mesmo, isto fica bem melhor. Beijoooooo

  7. Lucky!! Woah, realmente já sabia que ias ao Japão, mas poder desfrutar da cultura tão de perto, deve ser mesmo o máximo, apesar de concordar com as meninas que comentaram que realmente a comida é... duvidosa. XD Espero que te sintas bem acolhida e confortável entre a familia :3 Pelo menos pareces estar bastante feliz**

    e realmente é engraçada a forma como voces resolvem os conflitos XD

    Muitos huggles, e muitas felicidades Joana ** <3

  9. Ellie: Aww thank you, sweetest thing to say ever (but of course you're not a stalker :P)
    It's the second time I see them in concert though, first was their first gig in Europe ever (Berlin) and now this one. They are fabulous in concert actually, I hightly recommend their shows, plus they are pretty funny.
    The food is odd if you wanna live like they live but there are a ton of food you can eat that's pretty much the sort of thing everyone likes and its usualy cheaper too. I have a ton mofre food pictures to post in the next posts to check those out.
    I am happy here, i cried the last time I had to leave, not because i was leaving Japan (although I know that usually that means no lolita stuff for a while as I totally over-charge my card haha but because of my familly. <3
    Thank you so much for the comment, it made me hapy!

    Shiroi: I had fun in the concert, i'll tell you about it later. Still have a lot more to post. <3
    You can wear it if you ever stay at my place, i'll surely lend it to you <3

  10. I'll take your word for it, and hope i'm not disturbing too much. XD
    I'd love to see them live *-* It's one of my favorite bands since a long time ago, and it's just something I've always wanted to do and hope to indeed see them live, one day. XD

    Waa, que fofinha, a familia deve ter ficado muito emociada tambem! XD Bem, de qualquer maneira, you look really happy with them now, por isso aproveita ao máximo o tempo que estiveres aí. <3
    E fico feliz, por teres ficado feliz ( xD ) pelo comentário! :3
