Sakura was the main reason for me going in April. It was my first time seeing so many like this, it was so cute, pink everywhere. Especially cute when they started to fall down, covering the parks and roads in soft pink.

shopping in Tokyo
Shopping was something I did a lot in Tokyo.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to take pictures inside the department stores...
One of my personal favorites is Lumine Est. A much better option, since 109 is so busy at all times, even when the rest of Shibuya is empty... Lumine Est has the advantage of having all the brands I care about (emoda, murua, dazzlin, wc) plus it was never busy whenever I went there. I was so disappointed to find out there is no Murua in 109, I had no idea ^_^;
Takeshita Dori is another favorite, maybe because it is full of street shops, made me feel really welcome and I thought all the shop staff were really nice. There was one Liz Lisa shop assistant who could speak a bit of English and we chatted whenever I passed by. She was super nice and friendly! And cute! You can see her picture somewhere bellow.

Back from Tokyo
Hellooooooo
I'm back from my holiday in Tokyo!
Let me just say it was absolutely amazing. I didn't expect I was going to have as much fun as I did, seriously! I loved it, I enjoyed as much as I could. Lots of meeting friends, lots of different Izakaya and lots of shopping! I had to get a bigger suitcase in Japan because I did not have enough space to store everything I bought, haha XD
First 2 weeks I stayed at a friends place, 10 minutes walk from Harajuku!! It was freaking amazing, as I could walk to haraujuku, shibuya and shinjuku without having to pay for transportation. And so, for the first 2 weeks I only spent like, 1500 yen on my pasmo pass card.
I loved, loved, loved it! I felt like I was actually living in Japan, you know? I could walk my way anywhere and do shopping, meet friends, have some food and drinks and come back home without caring about having to catch the last train. Awesome!
The last week I stayed at another friend's house in Kugayama, quite close to Kichijoji. It was nice and quite, and in there I finally experience the having to catch the last train thing, which was always packed!
I will post some photos later, but I just want to say that after I came back I had Jet lag for the first time in my life. I felt so horribly lifeless, no energy, no strenght to do anything and sleepy all the time. Yesterday I took a nap for 4 hours and I think I just slept another 9 hours. But this morning I feel great! I feel like I want to get things done, finish unpacking, do some laundry, have a nice bath! For now I will just make some breakfast XD
