2010-11-24 [Aliz]: aw =(
Omg. Funny; a classmate gave a fisherman's friend (salmiak/licorice taste) to one of the Japanese exchange students XD The poor guy almost died on the spot xD Apparently it was horrible XD

2010-11-25 [Ghost the Hybrid]: XD sounds so funny

2010-11-26 [Aliz]: It was epic XD

2010-11-26 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i can imagine

2010-11-28 [Aliz]: I wish somebody had taped it xD
(I've read somewhere that foreigners don't really like salmiak/licorice/salt licorice O____o maybe it's true?)

2010-11-28 [Ghost the Hybrid]: that's weird*loves the stuff*

2010-12-06 [Aliz]: Me too xD

2010-12-08 [Aliz]: I even have cough medicine with licorice taste XD LOL

2010-12-08 [Ghost the Hybrid]: oh i'm allergic to it

2010-12-10 [Aliz]: Really? O______o but there are many different ones....

2010-12-10 [Ghost the Hybrid]: well it's in some kind of cough medicine

2010-12-15 [Aliz]: Better to avoid it then, I guess >____<
But there are other yummy cough medicines too =] <--that sounds so wrong XD

2010-12-16 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i uses "kamomill" tea

2010-12-30 [Aliz]: I don't like tea >_____< only apple tea from Turkey and green tea from Japan =/ I'm hard to satisfy XD haha

2010-12-30 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i only like "karmomill" tea, green tea and jasmine tea

2011-01-08 [Aliz]: haha XD
Did you try apple tea? It's like warm apple juice XD (at least the one they have in Turkey =D)

2011-01-08 [Ghost the Hybrid]: not the one you get here it's yucky

2011-01-09 [Aliz]: Oh >____< too bad D:
(I can imagine it's like normal black tea with apple in it XD LOL)

2011-01-09 [Ghost the Hybrid]: it's exactly that

2011-01-10 [Aliz]: urggg D: gross D:

2011-01-10 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i know, i've tried the green tea apple tea too wasn't nice eather

2011-01-12 [Aliz]: That.... just sounds gross D: you can't mix green tea and apple tea D:
It works against eachother D:
Apple tea is sweet and green tea is bitter D:

2011-01-12 [Ghost the Hybrid]: it was really youcky trust me

2011-01-12 [Aliz]: I don't even need to taste it =/ it sounds weird and horrible XD

2011-01-12 [Ghost the Hybrid]: ok

2011-01-12 [Aliz]: Hm. If I can go to Japan again in the fall, do you think I should make a blog? O____o

2011-01-13 [Ghost the Hybrid]: hell yes you should, my friend matt is having his year in japan on his blog

2011-01-13 [Aliz]: lmao xD
No choice? XD haha
I don't know if anyone would read it, but I guess maybe I'd be a bit more productive than I am with uploading pictures >________< OTL

2011-01-13 [Ghost the Hybrid]: well just do it and put it in your dairy, i'm sure a lot of elftowners will follow your japan adventures

2011-01-14 [Aliz]: ...probably not XD But I guess I could try anyway XD LOL

2011-01-16 [Ghost the Hybrid]: it'd be awesome

2011-01-17 [Aliz]: I dunno about awesome... but maybe I'll remember more afterwards, since I suck at diary writing DX

2011-01-18 [Ghost the Hybrid]: *nods*

2011-01-18 [Aliz]: Do you have any blog tips? >____<
I guess it's quite a while till I go, but I know nada about blogs, so I probably should prepare somehow D:

2011-01-19 [Ghost the Hybrid]: well i myself uses blogger might be a bit tricky to register but it's an easy to use sight

2011-01-23 [Aliz]: Ah, ok ^^ I think I've heard of it ^^;

2011-01-24 [Ghost the Hybrid]: well after the registration it's really easy to use:D

2011-01-25 [Aliz]: I'll check it out then ;D

2011-01-26 [Ghost the Hybrid]: oki doki

2011-01-29 [Aliz]: When do you think would be a good idea to start writing? >_____<
Like, should I start before I go?
Or when I get there?
I thought maybe it would be a good idea to also mention all the things you have to do to be able to go at all >____>
But I obviously don't know for sure that I can go untill june =/

2011-01-30 [Ghost the Hybrid]: well it'd be a good idea to start and write about the preparations you need to do, or at least i think it's a good idea

2011-01-31 [Aliz]: Maybe I should start around March-April then >____< there'sa looot of preparations to do D: lol

2011-01-31 [Ghost the Hybrid]: *nods* good idea try to get into the routine of writing every to every second day

2011-02-01 [Aliz]: I probably wont write every day XD
At first I will only write when something interesting happens XD

2011-02-01 [Ghost the Hybrid]: ok

2011-02-01 [Aliz]: It's not that fun for people to listen to me rant while waiting to get my visa etc ^^;

2011-02-01 [Ghost the Hybrid]: well maybe not but they'll know how to get one if you do

2011-02-03 [Aliz]: That's true =P
But it's basically 6 months of paperwork before I even get to the visa point, so yeah XD
(I'll go at the end of august hopefully, and the paperwork starts in march OTL)

2011-02-03 [Ghost the Hybrid]: oh ok

2011-02-06 [ReineBloodwolf]: wow i want to go to japan and be an animator and video game designer lol ^.^

2011-02-06 [Ghost the Hybrid]: that's really cool, i'd like to work as a pokemon designer

2011-02-07 [Aliz]: I wanna work in Japan in a Norwegian company LOL (because working for a Japanese company seems shitty OTL)

2011-02-08 [Aliz]: arg D: do you know anything about how to connect to wireless internet? I bought a router, but I fail at using it D:

2011-02-08 [Ghost the Hybrid]: conect to network? if you have wi-fi conection on your comp

2011-02-10 [Aliz]: Not like that >____<
I'm trying to turn my cable-network into wireless with the help of a router, but I can't configure it =/

2011-02-10 [Ghost the Hybrid]: well that's what i did om my comp

2011-02-10 [Aliz]: I don't even know what wi-fi is OTL
And the only problem I can see so far, is that the router wont be configure =/

2011-02-10 [Ghost the Hybrid]: wi-fi is basicly wireles internet girl, i don't know how to config things thou

2011-02-10 [Aliz]: It can't be "basically" >____>
I can't connect to a non-existing network =/
Obviously the computer -can- connect to wireless, but it's sorta hard when the router wont work =[

2011-02-10 [Ghost the Hybrid]: it can be basicly cause i say so

my sugestion is to ask someone that actualy knows about computer stuff

2011-02-10 [Aliz]: I think I'll just have to call the internet people if I can't get it to work after the weekend >____< I'm gonna try a couple of times more to be sure something's haywire ^^;

2011-02-10 [Ghost the Hybrid]: oki doki

2011-02-14 [Ghost the Hybrid]: thanx

2011-02-14 [Aliz]: Didn't notice much of it though xD
70% of Japanese class had forgotten all about it XD LOL

2011-02-15 [Ghost the Hybrid]: lol

2011-02-15 [Aliz]: Arg.
Some of the senpais had presentation about the unis in Japan today, and now I don't know where to go ;____;
Sapporo definately wins on pros, but I think living close to Tokyo would be nice too ;____; (school there is sorta better in some ways too)

And my teacher basically told me and two friends today that we had way good enough grades to be able to get into our first choice school...
So now I -have to- decide OTL

2011-02-16 [Ghost the Hybrid]: awww

2011-02-16 [Aliz]: I think... I might go for Sapporo =0

2011-02-16 [Ghost the Hybrid]: wow cool:D take ALLOT of pics:D

2011-02-16 [Aliz]: I will XD Of course XD

2011-02-16 [Ghost the Hybrid]: awesome:D

2011-03-05 [Aliz]: I applied for Sapporo now =0

2011-03-06 [Ghost the Hybrid]: awesome:D

2011-03-06 [Aliz]: I hope I get accepted >___<;;
Only straight A students will be accepted, probably OTL

2011-03-06 [Ghost the Hybrid]: aww*crosses fingers*

2011-03-07 [Aliz]: ahaha T_____T
At least I qualify for an exam OTL
I'm afraid of taking an oral exam, though =C

2011-03-08 [Ghost the Hybrid]: aww i'm sure you'll do fine

2011-03-08 [Aliz]: I dunno >___< I have no idea what the standards are =C

2011-03-08 [Ghost the Hybrid]: aww

2011-03-10 [Aliz]: And you have to be polite and stuff when talking to the teachers >_____< it's scary!

2011-03-10 [Ghost the Hybrid]: aww i'm sure you'll be alright thou

2011-03-10 [Aliz]: I hope so >____<

It sadly seems like most my future plans for the next 3 years are depending on how good grades I get now ;____;

2011-03-10 [Ghost the Hybrid]: aww

2011-03-10 [Aliz]: On the bright side, I can go to Japan twice if I do good *____*/

2011-03-10 [Ghost the Hybrid]: that's awesome

2011-03-12 [Aliz]: yeah ^^

But... OMG =0
Earthquake ._______.
I hope they'll be able to fix those nuclear thingies soon >___<
It looked so scary =C
And all my friends were updating their FB accounts with "omg, I can't get in touch with my friends/family" >____<;

2011-03-12 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i know, i was so worried till i actualy got to talk to matt on msn this morning(yeah it was at 3am), and i'm still worried bout him. he's in tsukuba and says that he's ok

2011-03-12 [Aliz]: Some of my friends come from Akita and Sendai =(
the places hit hardest...
But at least it seems they've contacted their families there now, and I haven't heard of anyone being hurt, luckily ^^;

2011-03-13 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i'm glad

2011-03-13 [Aliz]: yeah >___< but it's still horrible =(
I really hope they things under control soon ._____.

2011-03-13 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i know, but i'm most worried about the nuclear power plant and the erupting volcano

2011-03-13 [Aliz]: That's sorta what I meant >___<
(even though there's not much to do with the volcano, I hope they come to a solution with the power plants)

2011-03-13 [Ghost the Hybrid]: me too

2011-03-14 [Aliz]: I love how my teacher can still be so cheerful about things though XD
"You guy's aren't having cold feet about going to Japan..? Because you know, in Hokkaido there's not much earthquakes... it should be very safe <3"
--> 60% of the class= FML we're going to Tokyo T_____T

2011-03-15 [Ghost the Hybrid]: XD awesome

2011-03-15 [Aliz]: yeah xD

But damn =/ I'm following a live newspaper update thing online about the power plants, and it's really problematic it seems =(

2011-03-16 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i know

2011-03-21 [Aliz]: blah =C
It seems it's getting better now... maybe ;____;
Poor Japan ;_____;

2011-03-22 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i hope it'll be ok soon

2011-03-24 [Aliz]: yeah >____<

On the other hand, it seems the universities still are up to taking in exchange students O___o;
I got the papers I need to fill out yesterday :D

2011-03-25 [Ghost the Hybrid]: wow that's cool

2011-03-31 [Aliz]: Sorta XD
There are lots of strange stuff I need to fill out >___<
Like hobbies and if I've ever been deported O_____o;;

My friends who are going to Tokyo have to do blood test, urine test, chest x-ray and height,weight, eyesight O______o;;;

2011-04-01 [Ghost the Hybrid]: wow

2011-04-01 [Aliz]: yeah =S
Sounds like a pain in the ass XD

2011-04-01 [Ghost the Hybrid]: it sure does

2011-04-07 [Aliz]: ouch =/ there was a new earthquake again =C Is it never going to end D:

2011-04-08 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i heard that too

2011-04-09 [Aliz]: I really hope there wont be another "kanto quake" =|
that's too scary =C

2011-04-10 [Ghost the Hybrid]: me either

2011-04-11 [ReineBloodwolf]: wish my hubby was here *pouts*

Now I just need to find cheap tickets to Japan T_____T any good ideas?

2011-06-14 [Ghost the Hybrid]: look online? like finair or something

2011-06-14 [Aliz]: It's all expensive =(
I can't find anything below 7500 NOK =C
(Even my friend tried finair, and it cost her some 3-4000 NOK, but when I checked it was 7-8000 NOK =C I fail)

2011-06-14 [Ghost the Hybrid]: google it:P

2011-06-15 [Aliz]: I tried that too LOL but somehow, foreign sites seem even more expensive D: too bad D:

2011-06-15 [Ghost the Hybrid]: when are you going and to what airport?

2011-07-18 [Aliz]: omg O____o 1 month and 3 days till I go!

2011-07-29 [Ghost the Hybrid]: awesome:D

2011-07-31 [Aliz]: AMMAGAWD! neglect!

And I still don't have my visa FML

2011-07-31 [Ghost the Hybrid]: aww i'm sorry.

matt visited me and guess what guess what guess what*bounces in my seat happily*

2011-08-01 [Aliz]: you're going to Japan too? XD

2011-08-01 [Ghost the Hybrid]: no...well maybe sometime in the future but but...i have a boyfriend:D

2011-08-02 [Aliz]: you got back together? :D Congrats!

2011-08-04 [Ghost the Hybrid]: uhu we did:D

2011-08-11 [Aliz]: did he come home from Japan then?

2011-08-11 [Ghost the Hybrid]: he got home bout a month after the earthquake, as he lives in the uk we don't really get to see each other that often:(

2011-08-16 [Aliz]: aw =/ that sucks =C (though, somehow it's almost the same price for a plane ticket to the UK and a train ticket to Bergen here LOL Norway=public transportation fail)

2011-08-18 [Ghost the Hybrid]: wow that's pretty cool thou

2011-08-27 [Aliz]: it's obviously a crappy plane ticket (no food, not much luggage, space etc), but I guess it's pretty cheap =3
(my coworker told me he was taking his family to Paris for 300 kroner for 4 people O___o;;)

2011-08-30 [Ghost the Hybrid]: wow cheap

2011-10-05 [Aliz]: yeah *______* it's hard to believe XD haha

2011-10-05 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i flew from london for only 200 danish kronor

2011-10-07 [Aliz]: That's pretty cheap too :] too bad it's so expensive to travel outside of Europe =(

2011-11-01 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i know, and it's really expensive to change date too.... it cost me 500sek more than expected cause i clicked the wrong date>_<

2011-11-06 [Aliz]: too bad D=
But actually that fee depends on who you're travelling with; some companies don't take extra charge if you change to a different date within a week or so before you leave :)

2012-01-19 [Ghost the Hybrid]: well it's ok, i had a really great time visiting matt
