So I will give you a quick recap of the loong and hard trip over here. So it all started with a tearful goodbye of my family and friends at the airport, I still miss you all! Then me&Johanna went to Stockholm and then waited for Dena that came with a later plane. Our last meal was at McDonalds at Arlanda, I was sad since I wanted MAX but it was just for domestic flights :( We checked in and shopped a bit before boarding the plane to Frankfurt and quicker than you could say quidditch we were on the plane to Shanghai. That around 11 hour flight was haaaard. I think I just slept around 3 hours on it and we didn't even have our own private screens! But I somehow managed to live through that and we arrived at Shanghai airport which was very gorgeous!

As you can see the ceiling in the international terminal was off the hook! At Shanghai airport we went to the bathroom, sweated, went to the bathroom again and waited.

And I also decided to nap..

The flight to Osaka went smoothly but our good luck ended there since the cab which was supposed to pick us up didn't show up since it only drove to Kyoto and we were gonna sleep the first night in Osaka. We took the bus to Osaka station and planned to take a cab to the hotel from there but all the cab drivers were major assholes and said they didn't "know" where our hotel was which was complete bull of course! When we finally found the hotel it turned out it was very central and not something a cab driver wouldn't know where it is.

As you can see the hotel room was very nice! The morning after we ate a nice breakfast but there my problems with my stomach started, because of the heat in Japan and the jetlag my stomach have been acting up ever since we arrived and I threw up after the first night in our apartment and I've been feeling sick a little every day. But now it's finally getting better!

Today we took the bus to the shopping district in Kyoto, Sanjo/Shido, there's a lot of stores to explore in Kyoto.. A lot of small streets with small stores that are just crazy! I ate yakiniku today at a real Japanese restaurant, tiny space and weird vegetables.

The homesickness is also starting to get somewhat better, I still miss my parents and Sweden but it's tolerable now. When I can skype with them I think it'll get gradually better.. But I'll still miss them tons!
