Kawagoe 11.02.14

Hey guys!

How are you!? Yesterday I went to Kawagoe together with Ryo, and his mother. It was quite nice to hang out with them. But Kawagoe was, to be honest, a bit disappointing. From pictures, and internet it seemed much more interesting than it really was. For those of you who don't know, Kawagoe is locally known as "Little Edo". If you don't know Edo, it is the former name of Tokyo ->Edo<-

We basically just walked around in Kawagoe for about 4 hours. Ate some "Takoyaki sandwich", and grilled dango. Yummy!! We (and by we, I mean Ryo's mum lol) also bought some dorayaki and baumkuhen that we took with us to home. We ate the sakura flavoured dorayaki yesterday. And both the sweet potato baumkuchen, and the vanilla baumkuchen. The sakura dorayaki was so, so delicious. And in the middle it had some mochi as well. My favourite baumkuchen was the sweet potato baumkuchen. I really love sweet potato.

As a matter of fact, Kawagoe is a sweet potato city. So you will be able to find all kinds of sweet potato snacks, and food there. I'd highly recommend anyone who loves sweet potato to go there. And in Kawagoe, they also have a "candy street". Although I am a sweets lover, I didn't buy any candy, or snacks there.

Well, I don't have anything else to tell really. I'm soon gonna clean up a bit here. And then purchase the rest that's missing for the valentines chocolate that I'm gonna make for Ryo.

Maybe I'll update again later. Feel free to leave a comment or so.

Japan ✩✩

Sooo.. I haven't uploaded any new post in a long time. I was so stressed the days before going to Japan, and these days in Japan I've just wanted to relax + had many school things to take care of.

I'm really enjoying it here. Finally I can be together with my boyfriend after months apart. Although he is so busy and we only get to spend time during night and weekends.. but I guess it's alright, shouldn't complain really.

This weekend me and Ryo met some friends for celebrating our friend Anna's birthday. And also we went to Lake Town with bicycle. It was the first time in five years that I rode bicycle!! Had forgotten how much fun it is. And riding bicycle in Japan really is something! ♡♡

I don't have anything else to tell right now really, but here are a bunch of pictures ^^

At heathrow.. waiting waiting waiting!! lol

But seriously 4 hours of waiting.. omg. 

I did however meet very nice people at the flight!

カスチラ with gold. Yummm

Me and my boyfriends mother shared ice cream from Baskin Robbins.

 It was really cheap.. four scoops of ice cream for the price of 290 yen!! 

Not to mention delicious ;)

I really love snacks with strawberry flavour (which both my boyfriend

 and his mother are quite aware of obviously.. lol) But I have got to

 admit that I do prefer the original Takenoko No Sato! 

This one is also good.. but not so impressive. 

♡ B-day cake ♡

I made a birthday cake (peach mousse and chamomile mousse cake)

 for my friend Anna since we celebrated her birthday!! Grattis ^^ 

I think it turned out alright. We went to an izakaya for food and drinks. 

And afterwards we spent some time @ karaoke. It was fun.

 And It was so nice meeting everyone again. 

My friends also surprised me during Anna's birthday party 

with some delayed birthday gifts!!! 

How nice they are ♡♡♡ did not see that coming!!
