Visiting Düsseldorf~♥

Hello dear readers!

How have you been? I hope you’re all doing fine! I’m so busy lately it’s unbelievable! It’s hard for me to find free evenings to even meet up with friends! UGH! That’s just not funny anymore! That will keep up until January.. so many plans! But the good thing is, I will get to see all my friends before I leave and the biggest news of all: I’VE FOUND AN APARTMENT! YAAY! I’m so god damn relieved that I have one. And luckily it’s even in Shinjuku. I guess by looking at the map and knowing a hotel nearby where I’m gonna live, it’s about 15-20 minutes by foot from Shinjuku Station. It’s all furnished and utilities + internet are included in the rent. In addition I will be able to move in right away on 28.12.! Really.. I feel so relieved! But I will maybe talk more about the apartment later when I'm actually there.

So for now I want to talk to you about my weekend in Düsseldorf visiting Theresa again from 2. - 4. December. I had 1/2 day free on friday so I was able to leave for Düsseldorf at 12:12. I had to change trains at Mannheim and unfortunately my train heading there was LATE! Yes, thank you! Luckily I thought about that beforehand and chose the connection where I'd have 15 minutes time to change trains, what did I have left in the end? 3 minutes! Great! Luckily I made it. The bad thing was that I had reserved a seat, but wasn't able to get there since I went to the wrong carriage (?) and it were two trains connected together.. great.. so there I stood with 2 others sharing the same faith and waiting. Waiting.. waiting.. so we could change to the train in front where our seats were reserved. Sadly we got told that our reservation would be invalid after 15 minutes.. GREAT! And that's what I paid for an extra fee?.. bad system! Well then, we stood there waiting, at least for about 20-25 minutes when somebody came to check our tickets. She understood our miserable situation and gently led us to the 1. class of the train where she asked us to sit down. We were all just like "HUH?! U kidding me?" and then she even said that she wouldn't charge us extra and we just could sit there! Wow! Nice! Thanks :D

The crazy thing was, that there even came a young man asking us if we'd want to read a newspaper haha! Really not used to that! But yah, had a good stay in the first class for the trip :P

At 4 30pm I arrived in Düsseldorf and we straightly went eating at Naniwa! We did have to wait a little, but that wasn't tragic since I wasn't really thaaaat hungry. Even though I ended up ordering a whole menue.. and I looooooved it! It was sooooo tasty! Oh my god!
To show you I stole one of Theresas pics she took. I hope she's not mad! So all credits go to her >_<

The rest of the evening we stayed at her home enjoying the companionship. I even took the time to curl my exte. Although I've been really too lazy to do such things lately. I was determined to get dolled up a little bit for the purikura the next day.

Well we stood up quite early on saturday and just made the neccessairy things so we could get started fast after returning from shopping before going to take the purikura. Sadly it was raining quite strong outside and surprise surprise none of us had an umbrella. Haha! :D Typical!
We made our way to the city to stroll around some stores to buy some overknee socks, a bag and just other stuff we could find. Theresa bought a loooot more things then I did. I was just a fool again and spend money on too expensive things! I should train my brain to not get it having an error when there's something I wanna buy but shouldn't (;A; )
And ugh, we were dead when we arrived at her home with all the shopping bags! The bad thing, it was already really late why we had to change our meeting time with the others from 5pm to 5 30pm. Felt so bad about it...! Because we were running late we didn't have time to relax but got right away to dolling up. Luckily I had curled the extensions the evening before so I didn't have to do that much and we got ready in time. Thank god it had even stopped raining.
So we met up with Thanh Thao (she should be enjoying her lovely time in new york by now) and C.
I hadn't met both of them before so I felt really thrilled about meeting them that at some point I was just babbling like a crazy old fool, especially at Karaoke, lol :D
Hach, the girls were soooo cute and soooo nice! Really loved meeting them!
Here are the purikura we took together:

The neko-picutre (2nd row, right one) is my favorite from all the purikura we took. Don't know, I just think it's kinda cute because we're all doing the same pose, haha.
After taking the purikura we had like 20-30 minutes left, so we decided to go grab a drink before going karaoke. Actually the bar was... okay.. and I don't know why, but it took them waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay toooo long to make the drinks. it was already past 7 when we finally got our drinks. The bad thing was, in order to still get a vacant room at karaoke we should have been there already at 7pm... And hell yes, I've never drunk a cocktail that fast! I admit, I got a little help from the girls haha

Luckily when we arrived at the karaokebar they still had one vacant room. the big one! Great! That's what we thought, but in fact one of the mics was kinda broken and exchanging it didn't really help. So we ended up singing for 2 hours with just one mic before we could change the room where, thank god, both of them worked!
Karaoke was really much fun! Honestly, I reaaally suck at it. Really badly! I'm faaar faaaaar faaaaaaaaaaar away from a pro! But anyway, it was fun just squeaking the songs and doing stupid moves all along!

Thanh Thao and Theresa sang many japanese songs. Envy them for being able to learn the texts that well! I only sucked with the japanese ones haha although I +/- know the lyrics from yamapis daite senorita :D

We still didn't want to leave after Karaoke right away so we decided to hang out at mc donalds for a while. The place was packed! UGH! but still we had a little time to talk and enjoy our time together. But soon the time came to leave and say good bye! I really really really enjoyed my time with the girls! They're really lovely! Once again, thanks♥

For the credits here one more pic of the girls:

We made our way to Theresas place again where we, just as last time we met, started taking silly pictures. It was reaaaally much fun! haha :D When I browse through the pics now, I still laugh out loud! But yah, some pics just aren't meant to be published so I just settled down with these two:

In bed we still talked a lot. I can't remember what we talked about haha :D I use to talk a lot of nonesense when I'm tired so yah, I guess the things I said weren't maybe that interesting.
The next day already was the day I'd leave again. I packed my stuff really calmly when suddenly, groaaaar, japp, our stomaches! We were kinda hungry. So we decided to head to some restaurant to grab some food. First we wanted to go to Naniwa again (incl. my luggage) but it was packed and people were standing in line to get in there. We decided to go somewhere else and ended up at a restaurant called Takumi! Good choice we made. The restaurant was fabulous! I decided to take some set meal with ramen and curry (I had been craving all weekend long to get some j-curry!). The food was soooo yummy again! Awww! *__*
That weekend I was kinda surprised because of myself haha. I'm not a that big j-food fan, but I just enjoyed the whole food that weekend! Gosh! Couldn't believe my own taste! But I guess that's good since I'm leaving to Japan soon anyway.

Here again the pics are from Theresas Blog, I hope she doesn't mind!

So well, I soon have to start packing for Japan. Somehow I'm a little anxious but still I can't wait!
See you soon again (hopefully!)
