Love my town
By sweetreat in Cupcakes, Exchange, food, Kichijoji, Momen, shopping, Tokyo
Before settling in, my friend told me that Kichijoji was the number one place in Japan place where everyone wanted to live. After being here for a few weeks, I can completely understand why; heaps of places to shop, restaurants from all over the world, cutest boutiques and coffee shops.
Since I had nothing to do today I decided to explore a bit more.

I miss Mum's cooking
By sweetreat in Cooking, Exchange, food, Japan, Ricepaper Rolls, Vietnamese
Since coming to Japan, my friend and I have been seriously craving food from the motherland. So after a trip to the international grocers, we were finally able to gather the necessary ingredients to make rice paper rolls! We decided to invite everyone else in the dorm to try these awesome rolls. :)

| Made our own dipping sauce! Finding the fish sauce was annoying - it's called nanpla (ナンプラー）in Japanese |
 |
| Success! :) |
Overall I think we made our mothers proud :)

SIA Hanami Event
By sweetreat in Club, events, Exchange, Fashion, Hanami, Inokashira, Jeffrey Campbell, Mode off, SIA, University
Thrifted my second pair of Jeffrey Campbells at Mode Off today for only 3000円！ Sooo ecstatic! Unfortunately no one could really understand why I was so happy lol
Went to another SIA event tonight which was held at Inokashira公園. They woke up super early (5am?) to secure a good picnic spot amongst Sakura trees. I think everyone had a little too much to drink by the time we got there so it made them more 'charai' more than ever! Especially the first years. I think being an exchange student makes them think it's alright to say things like 'come home with me' or make comments about my body. Luckily the senpai's took care of us :)

| The sakura at night are so pretty! Took this with my iPhone :) |

First SIA event of the year
By sweetreat in charai, Club, events, Exchange, food, Gem's Burger, International, Kichijoji, Tokyo
Tonight we went to our first SIA club event where we were able to meet new and older members of the club. We had dinner at a nearby burger joint called 'Gem's Burger'. Didn't really have burgers though, they were more like pitas? It was an good night, despite some strange people asking me strange questions - like 'what's your bra size?' lol

きりきりきり
By sweetreat in Exchange, Fashion, H for Siesta, Haircut, Kichijoji, Tokyo
My hair's been seriously annoying me since I came to Japan. Especially my fringe! :(
So three of us Australian girls set out to get a trim at a stylish boutique called H for Siesta in Kichijoji. A bit pricey at 5000円 but completely worth it for the service and experience! The manager, Noda, sat down with us one by one to discuss which style would best suit us (he even asked what kind of clothes I liked to wear haha).
