First Blog

Hi,
I am a girl moving to Taipei, Taiwan from Helsinki, Finland and I was told that i could be writing about what I do and go through there so here I am, writing my first blog. :)
   Right now, we are on vacacion in Japan and it has been great! We lived here when I was about six years old and its great to come back. We just arrived about two days ago and we have already done a ton of awesome things!

Yesterday we went to a beautiful park where I get a feeling, that I am not in the middle of one of the biggest cities of the world, but a peaceful and a calming place where i could spend the whole day.
There was a part for kids where they could play and have fun, and then there was a beautiful pond with turtles and koi-fish. I could hear the grasshoppers and the birds and it was very nice.
Then we stopped at a cafe and I had some cappuchino and chocolate flavoured ice cream and it was actually not that good but I ate it anyways...

   Later we went to Harachuku and oh, all those stores that they had on one street blew my mind! Gucci, Chanel Dolce & Gabbana, Luis Vuitton... I dont remember all, but that was only a part, but of course they did not have the one I was looking for. They didn't have Abercombie... -_-
Then we went to this street that was filled with stores that were filled with clothes, jewelry and hair & nail accessories and it was hard not to run from store to store just buying stuff.

 



Well that's about it from yesterday, now today we went to Ueno Zoo and it was loads of fun! It was hot. Like 35 degrees celcius and we weren't sure if we should go if all the animals would be sleeping,  due to the weather, but we went and we were wrong. Almost all we animals were out and some of them were amazing. We saw to giant pandas and man, they were so fluffy and cute! I just wanted to run at them and give them a hug. Then we saw some elephants and some monkeys and the gorillas were cool because some of them were swinging upside down and climbing on things. We also saw giraffes, a hippo, an okapi and tons more. I fell in love with all the small mice that they had at the rodent house, but even more I liked the petting zoo with goats, pigs, and lambs. There were also chickhens and roosters that we could carry around. It sounds kind of lame, but its actually kind of fun.
Afterwards, we went to starbucks and I had a mango slushie or smoothie and it was delicious!

That is it, but this has been such an awsone day that its kind of hard to describe. Hope you like my blog. :)
