Seto and Photoshoot

So this weekend, me and Emily had to go to Seto to sign up for our part time jobs. Seto is on the other end of the Meitetsu Seto train line from Sakae, and where we live is right in the middle of the line. After we had the meeting, we decided to randomly explore Seto. We wandered around and found some creepy, weird, almost magical feeling places.

We found this creepy old shopping area, similar to Osu in Nagoya, except it wasn't full of people, a lot of the shops were closed, and there were spider webs everywhere. Also, the walking area was narrower and crooked. There was also Kyary Pamyu Pamyu music playing loudly all throughout the area which kind of added to the eeriness of it.

The path let out on this small side street that was full of cats! A guy came outside to feed them.

 At the end of the street was this really cool and old shrine that's more than 1000 years old!

Cat statues! Must be why the cats like this area so much.

Then we found a playground that was slightly falling apart and had cages with chickens and peacocks. I don't think they were very happy there =( I wish I could set them free...

And then a lovely sunset.

This Friday, me and Emily are going to Aichi University to watch the Doctor Who 50th with another student from WVU who's studying abroad. Yay new places and adventures! Also yay for me actually being able to make plans with people and be social! XD Then on Saturday, Jer will be in Nagoya for the weekend! ♡

Shopping and Takayama

I didn't rest this weekend! Friday November 8th, I went shopping with Emily in Osu. Well, more like I was window shopping and taking pictures, while Emily was shopping. After that, we went to an Australian pub/restaurant called Red Rock recommended by one of the English teachers at our school. Sorry, I meant to post this all sooner, but there are so many pictures, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to make it one huge post, but I think I will.

My outfit! Very fairy kei.

I decided the wig was a bit too much, especially since we were going out to eat later.

Anna Sui! I want to get some of the makeup from here when I have money! Everything smells like roses!

Here's some of the lip gloss I tried from there.

Bunny cafe!! Where you eat......and pet bunnies? Not eat bunnies!

I want the kitty earmuffs!!! <3

Pullip doll! I've been wanting one for a while, but they're so expensive!  たかいね！

New Angelic Pretty skirt that I saw at Angelic pretty for a waaayy higher price is at Violet Blue for cheaper!! Too bad cheaper doesn't help when you don't have the money =[

Maid cafe in Osu! I also got a video of her cute dance =]

Red Rock

 

 

Yay for legally being allowed to consume alcohol at 20! Rum and Coke

My White Russian =]

We ran into a little puppet show in Osu.

And some more pictures of Osu cuz it's so pretty!

November 9, 2013 we went to Takayama. Takayama was soooo pretty! It actually looked like fall there (in Nagoya, the leaves have JUST started changing a little, and it's just started getting cold) and some of the mountains were so tall we could see snow on them! A lot of people home in WV said that these pics look like they were of WV's mountains, but as far as I've seen, there aren't any in WV tall enough to have snow on them! Still, I think I've forgotten how pretty the mountains in the fall in WV are, and that's one reason I thought they were so pretty here. When I get back to America, I can't wait to blog about all the things there! I wish I had started this blog sooner...

See the snowy topped mountain!

This could be a postcard!

Then we got to explore the Furui Machi (old town)

For me and my Jer <3

We also got to make our own rice crackers!

November 10th, I accompanied Emily to a tea ceremony and flower arranging thing at an orchid garden in Sakae. Orchids are my favorite flowers <3 I got a little brief lesson on how to do a tea ceremony. Sorry, these are all cell phone pictures! It was raining and I didn't want to carry my heavy camera.

hmmm, there's something interesting about this BIG statue.....

I finally found Etude House!! Here's my hand covered in everything I could fit on it

Some more pix of Swimmer

Etude House's Dear Darling Berry Red tint. I wanted to buy this one, cuz I tested it in the store and liked it, but I accidentally bought the Real Red cuz they looked so similar =[ I really wanted the nice fall berry color.....oh well, it's an excuse to buy more! I'll do a proper review of it eventually. I also got a bunch of little free samples!

This is the color I bought, Real Red
