Hoi iedereen,

Vanaf nu zal ik dit blog 2-talig doen.
Foto's zijn te zien op facebook. Als je me nog niet hebt toegevoegd, stuur mij maar een uitnodiging.

It's the Final Countdown

Hey everyone,

I got my airplane and traintickets for Japan so now I can go.
I'm buying a lot of stuff and I really wonder if it is all necessary...but it's fun to have a reason for non clothing/shoe shopping XD.

So for pictures, I will post all photo's on my facebook account. So please check there for the albums that I make. I will post it here too when I made or uploaded new pictures.
That because Facebook isn't really convenient for writing a lot of stuff and blogspot not for posting a lot of pictures.

Please as a sidenote, comment on the previous message about your address (if you haven't done it yet and want a postal card). I will collect them all on the internet (private ofcourse) so that I won't loose them while I'm in Japan.

Greetz,
M

(ps. I hate waarbenjij.nu so don't bother asking me why I'm using blogspot and Facebook)

July 1st!!

Hi everyone,

It's finally July the 1st. Just 15 more days and it's off to Japan!!!!
At my traineeship I'm wrapping up all the projects now so that I can go without having to worry that something isn't finished.

I made a travelmap so that I have all the paperwork together without needing to dig into my bags to find this or that.
At the 10th of this month I have my "I'm going to Japan" barbeque with some folks (ofc I needed a reason to celebrate Japan haha).

I went to my bankoffice cause a lot of the payment thingies wasn't really clear. After I spoke to the person in charge it all cleared up now so that is really nice.
Also the Yen became quite expensive. So that means my trip will cost even more. But oh well, I'm doing this just once so....go for it.

For postalcards please leave your address in a comment here or on my facebookpage (sent it as a private message).

See you again soon with new updates about my travelling :)

Almost

Hey everyone,

Well it's almost June 16 so that means just one more month!

I'm quite excited and i'm really looking forward to it.

Btw, a different kind of question. Does anyone have the English book of "To the ends of the Earth" ? I need it for an English test but not interested in buying it if I can borrow it.

The only thing left now is to order some city maps from Tokyo and Osaka and start getting the stuff from my trip together and also my JR railwaypass. Altough the travel company isn't really to bright with that one sigh. Tying on my new EEE goes a bit slower but that means i can enjoy it even more when i'm typing about my " things I did that day".

i'm going to borrow some travel books from a friend that he will get back ofc :P (sneeky, sneeky cause that means he will be without those books for 7 weeks...but he will get mine when he go's next year).

So that means I have to get some stuff done really fast. Excited excited

Hostels/Hotels

Well ladies and gentlemen,

Here the list of the hostels/hotels I will be staying at during my trip in Japan:
Tokyo - 14 nights
http://kshouse.jp/tokyo-e/index.html

Tokyo 7 nights
http://www.toukaisou.com/index.html

Osaka 21 nights
http://www.chuogroup.jp/selene/en/faci/index.html

From Osaka I will be travelling to Kyoto, Nara, Kobe etc.
It's situated very well, so I can use it as my base from were I can move to other places easily.

I just hope the Euro will get stable fast cause I notice it in the yen -_-

I'm happy I found good lodging so hurray or like the Japanese say...BANZAI!!!!

Uraboku

Hurray, the first episode of Uraboku (Uragiri wo Boku no Namae wo Shitteru -> Betrayal knows my name) started airing last sunday!! Can't wait for episode 2 to come out today.

Today I heard something funny, my neighbour is going at the same time to Japan as I'm going there. So I told him to grab a cup of coffee over there XD (Isn't it great, you meet your neighbour in Japan instead at your own home country!!) At least he can give me some good tips cause he's been there for over 3 times now so that is really nice and convenient.

I have my Spanish retest this week and another simple retest so I think I can continue with drawing and WoW before I start my traineeship at the 26th of April.

I also will go to a 80's and 90's party so lots of fun stuff is awaiting me :).

Talk to you guys soon again!!

Japan is drawing in close!

Hey everyone,
It's been a little while again. Sorry for that.
Well school kept me unreasonably busy, so busy I had trouble catching up with my private social life!.

Ah well now it's all in the past again and since it is Eastern that means I have a little bit more of free time.

I've been to Bacelona with school, did my last tests and assesment and from 26 april on it's traineeship time!! I've got an awesome traineeship place with a lot of nice projects comming up so I'll be looking forward to it.

And ofcourse also JAPAN!!!!
I finally booked my 3 weeks of accommodation in Tokyo (the rest will follow shortly)

Here are the links:
http://kshouse.jp/tokyo-e/facilities/index.html
In this hostel ill stay for 14 nights. 5 nights in a 6 persons mixed dorm and 9 nights in a single room.

http://www.toukaisou.com/eng_room_fee.html
In this hostel I'll stay for 7 nights in a single room.
I'ts a typical Japanese hostel so I'll be looking forward to it.
It's also really funny that both hostels are just one streetcorner away from each other.

I had to choose for 2 hostels cause the first one had a maximum of 14 nights for sleeping over.

Well I hope I can update soon with the other places!

greetz,
M
