this is the Udon that i like, there are other ones that i love too, but this one is good. not only they made their UDON in the shop by themselves, and the price is just awesomely CHEAP!@

guess how much this thing is? i think it is 300+ yen.

and the MOST wonderful thing is, you have ALL the green onion you want!!!!! u know how troublesome it is to buy the darn onion and cut it? and then have to store them and ya ya ya, whatever that is. i mean, green onions here are not cheap, when u see them in the supermarket, i don’t know if the price is “attractive” enough for u to want to buy them, seriously.

oh mine oh mine, and look at the egg … the infamous half-boiled egg, just irresistible!!!!!!!!!!

sorry i am only being a darn asian appreciate some super great simple food.

look at this green onion, it is so heaven to me!!!!!!!!!!

thanks LORD.

um, actually i do not know how to cook.

the guesthouse i live is great, but there is one setback, the kitchen is on first floor, super beautiful, don’t get me wrong, really, pretty. but i live on 3rd floor and if i get hungry and have to cook i need to go to 1st floor? and bring ALL the crap with me while i am super forgetful?

nah. so, i am super lazy at about “cooking”. if i am hungry, i want to eat and i WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! i mean, i cannot imagine myself wasting time everyday to stand in front of the kitchen, probably more than 30-40 min., to make a meal that looks liek a real meal, however, it would have the same “NUTRITION” as i would just microwave and can be done in 3 minutes?

i think i prefer the latter.

call me lazy, but efficiency is very important. i care not the taste but only the nutrition of the food. i mean, i would still spend time at “cutting” the darn cabbage, but “home cooking” is all just about “nutrition” to me, if i want real food, i bought it outside, like i said before, the food here is … still keep me entertained.

so i talked so much trash before and what am i trying to say?

here, see the egg? of course u do.

and the power below it is “pancake power”, u know the thing u mix the powder and the egg and you can fry some pancake? ya, that is a great idea but not for me when i want sometime at midnight and the kitchen is a mile away.

so i decided to try to make a “cup cake”, not the CHEESY american one but a cake in a CUP, so cute, isn’t it?

i mixed it, put some water …

and there you go, a cake in a cup … so nice, i LOVE it ^^

sorry, now, whoever that has enough free time to read my writing, you would have to read about “FOOD”. it is amazing how the FOOD here can just keep entertaining me, or sometimes u can call it 癒す.

i have had SOOOOOOO many countless trouble living here, all the stress and frustrations and failure, however, no matter what the days are, there is almost not one day, i wish, … i can try eating “this” or i wish i can try eating “that” …

i always think, if the food in the SUPER are all free … my GOD, heaven on earth …

amazing consider how LONG i have been in japan but still, STILL i not yet tired of the many different type of food here and i STILL can soooo attracted everytime i went to convenience stores, supermarkets, … whatever …

my 食欲 is beyond your imagination … i mean, crying out loud, it even beyond mine.

now, let me introduce to you the “instant ramen” that captured my heart before. i “think” the first time i ate it, i bought it in 100yen shop, and i was SOOOOO thrilled how amazingly good this Ramen is and i just wished i had bought more, but too bad, i never found it again.

i kept the bowl, (i cleaned it, no worry) for almost a year, but i still not found it.

then after i moved to here, ONE DAY, i saw a VERY similar thing in LAWSON!

but this time is 218 yen, MY goodness, it almost killed me, since i was SOOO super jobless that time. but i curiosity drove me to buy it.

but for some reason …

this is the side of it, ain’t it pretty?

but for some reason, … it just not taste the same.

was that i expect too much? or they just changed the taste …?

the noodle’s 質感, just feel different … um.

i think this is like one of the busiest week i ever have my goodness …

i went to interviews, and i also, very very lucky, seems can go to work every day if i want with this new “part-time”, it is called a “part-time” but geez, go to work every single day, but only WED off?

plus i also have 2 other part-times, lucky the university one already told me this month only have just 1 time, but still, next month, professor said there would be work every week … and suddenly, i have a few students that want to see me every week, lucky there is one that i not even require to take trains, what a blessing …

but there is an old student that want me to see him tomorrow, at first i really did not want to, but consider the salary, not great, but really better than nothing … so i offered him to pay HALF the train fee instead of ALL, since i have moved now the fee is outrageously HIGH, and far … 1.5 hour to go. BUT, consider the shit little money that i earn from university, which not pay train fee, which much less per hour … i decide to go …

the following is what you can see if you look out from the window of that cute pretty 食べ放題 restaurant ~ sooo pretty.

ちょっと残念けれど、that day was not completely sunshine, so the photo might not seem very blue sky sharp, but it was very 涼しい 〜 気分いい 〜 ^^.

ok, the above might not be the best photo ever, but trust me, that “CARROT” thing, is SOOOOO delicious!!!!!!!!! omg. taste great.

OK, NOW, i am really talking, THAT SHRIMP dish, goodness, HEAVEN ON EARTH, it was not only shrimp, it also has scallops!!!!!!!! CAN U BELIEVE IT? soooooo unbelievably wonderful. i think this dish TOPS my tasting list, EVER.

this is nice … the orange thing, the above … SOOOO good!

the above is the dessert plate, but look at them like it was nothing, it really taste GREAT! actually, more than great … 胡麻 pudding … my goodness.

after i moved here for a week or so, some loved one took me to a very very wonderful buffet, soooo pretty. the little restaurant was in a very pretty shopping mall, well, just about all the shopping malls here are very pretty, HEAVEN ON EARTH.

but first of all, i would like to show you some of the pictures of the surroundings here.

these are the places that some special one took me walked through ~ so cute, i wish i can be with him every single day.

and of course, the building itself here is also not bad, not bad AT ALL!

just like how my friends said, it is a completely different level.

the room, the ONLY one that can fit my budget and is available for me, is this cutie share room, i was warned that it was a 二段 bed, it did not extremely bothered me, cause when i moved in, i had no roommate.

and, the thing that really attract me, is the wood part of the bed, it made me feel so comfortable, it is a REAL room, yes, it is true that it is smaller compare to Warabi, however, since it has TONS of cupboards and drawers, it is SOOOOOO much better!

the atmosphere, it just made me feel like i am in a ROOM ^^.

i actually had longed for a REAL room for a long time. i am ok with the last place, cause it seemed so big, but somehow, also because the ceiling was SOOO high, it makes the AC just not work very well, and i just always seem not very comfortable for some reasons. but no complaints of course, just that, last summer, it really scared me, i almost got suffocated >.<

2 weeks ago, i moved to a very wonderful new place, with a wonderful promotion, it was SOOO much more awesome than i thought, i made the decision in just 1 day, 結構迷ったんだけど、but it was decided fast, because i just have to go, i know, otherwise, i would be even MORE 落ち込んでる、and ONLY think negatively every single day, missing the person that lives across the corridor …

yes, i have moved to one of the best OakHouse in the world, i mean, i know it is a pretty place, but, after i lived here for 2 weeks and occasionally checked out some of the stores here, omg, … sooooo pretty …

even the flowers here are prettier … goodness ~

look at her little hands, just unbelievable, how can she do that?! so SUPER adorable!

i always call her the name of the person i miss the most, but these few days, i have to stop.

she and him has at least one common point, their nose BOTH soo cute and pretty. and the rest is, the “atmosphere”, always around you, but never disturb you. peaceful, and sweet.

if only every day can be like this.

how can they be sooo cute?!

talk back to the main topic, 99% of the person that left japan, no matter what the reason is, always have one common point, “want to go back”.

everyone’s love for japan, 日本の魅力、irresistible.

just like this kitty, not something you want to see for short period of time, but instead, live in it, be surrounded by it.

(now the lovely kitty is sitting right in front of me, she is SOOOO adorable her little white hands … , she almost goes everywhere i go, so sweet …)

due to my short stay in my friend’s place, i have a very close contact with a pet, a lovely half white kitty. while she is a female, but i always call her the name of the person that i miss the most. i sometimes even speak japanese to her.

talk back to the main topic, very soon, i am supposed to go back to tokyo. i cannot imagine the trouble of working. i heard that since any foreigners left so maybe easier to find jobs, but i am not being very positive about this.

but the experience i get from this trip has been an interesting one.

now, THIS is an surprise …
