Hello everybody!!! ^-^
Me and Wendy just got to Japan! XD We arrived at Kansai Airport yesterday at 10:16 am Japanese time... for us this was about 2 in the morning... O.o; So we were pretty out of it *-* Nevetheless, we stayed up till 9 o'clock in the evening. We took the bus from Kansai airport to Sannomiya, which was actually really easy. It took us about an hour and then Nicolette picked us up from the bus stop.
We went for a walk and then dinner... I thought... but it was lunch hehehe... JETLAG! ^-^ So we had our first Japanese food, which was great, especially the rice! It's AWESOMELY DELICIOUS :D Then we went back up the hill and up to the shrine next to their house to see the view XD Ollie is SOOO CUTE btw! I'll try to take some good pictures of the kids these weeks, but you'll still have to wait a bit, though :) Unfortunately Nicolette wasn't feeling very well... and apparently Alan was sick last night as well, so they probably picked up a bug on their way back from the US, hopefully they'll feel better tonight.
Wendy and me will go to the cable cars in a little bit, but first Wen is finishing the film of the first day in Japan... will post the link soon! ^-^
Love you all! Will keep you up to date :D

Opa and Mac came to Soton
Hi everyone :) Here is another one of my long stories with some very exciting news about next year :D Now don't scroll down and read that first... you have to read the whole bit Okay? ^_^
So last weekend Opa and Mac came to my crib to see where I live and have some quality time with me. I really enjoyed their visit, because I really HAD missed them a lot these last few months after christmas. But in just a little less than a month I'll be able to see them again ^-^
So what did we do, you might wonder XD Well.... they arrived on Friday and, after my lectures, I met them at Glen Eyre (my Halls) and showed them around a bit. We then went to town and shopped a little, had some juice and muffins at Pret and a walk through the park :D We then had a lovely dinner at Oxfords on Oxford Street where we actually had to SHARE a dessert O.O because we were so full from the main course... That NEVER happens!! But it was really good ^-^ So we left all filled up and happy :)
The next day we went to the zoo. Marwell Zoo. I'd been wanting to go their for ages and this was a good opportunity to finally go. The weather was really nice as well and the zoo not too far away from home. I did not actually realise how good our own zoo (Emmen) actually is compared to some others. I was quite dissapointed at how far away all the animals were even though they mostly didn't even have huge cages. Emmen really does a good job at showing the animals off and still keeping a good distance between the viewer and the animals. Anyway.... we had lots of fun. Iman also joined us, but my other friends were too busy with work and sports so they didn't come along. But it WAS a lot of fun with Iman there.
After the zoo we went into Winchester a bit and had a really good (very filling) lunch at 'The Slug and Lettuce' ^-^ Isn't that the best name for a restaurant ever?! ^-^ Anyway, of course we shopped a little as well and then headed home again where we played some more cards. Because we were so stuffed, though, we didn't go to the cowherds until about 8:30 and we didn''t even really have dinner there. Grandpa had 2 pints of Guinness, I had a ceasar salad starter and an eves pudding and Mac had a coke and a lemon meringue cheesecake. We took our time in the pub, playing 3 games of Skipbo. Of course Opa won 2 out of 3 and luckily I won one as well ^-^ The next day though, Mac won most of the games of hartenjagen (Hearts).
So on Sunday we started off going to town and walking only a little part of the Titanic Trail. I don't know what it was, but I had a very bad stomach ache that day, so we didn't walk that far in town. We sat down for a drink at Costa's and Opa bought me a backpack for my birthday :) Aterwards we did some more, gentle walking in The Common (the local HUGE park) and then played some more cards in my room. I did some food shopping with Mac and afterwards he, of course, won the game of Hearts again. They had to leave then, unfortunately, but I'll see them soon. I really had a LOT of fun with them. Just being with them is good enough for me, really, but they really spoiled me this weekend :D I love them loads! ^-^
So that was the weekend with my family :) Fun and love all around XD Then yesterday evening I had another PhotoSoc meeting and workshop where the committee for next year was elected. I was actually voted secretary (because no one else wanted to do it), but then afterwards no one wanted to become Darkroom manager either, so I swapped my secretarian-ship (^_^) for Darkroom manager and (as secretary is an easy job, for our society anyway) someone else opted to become secretary. So that's the big news! I'm so excited about it :D I'm going to be the Darkroom Manager next academic year!!!! ^-^
Just a few more days till Easter holidays now and in about one and a half week I'll be in Cardiff, flying to Osaka with Wendy :D Off to Japan! I can't wait ^-^ Then just a little week at home, but with a great Birthday Party waiting for me :D I'm turning 18!! Finally >.<
That's it for now,
Next time I'll probably be blogging from Japan
