SIA Hanami Event

By sweetreat in , , , , , , , , ,

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 :)

Floral wedges perfect for the coming warmer months! :)




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

チャライ Clubs!

By sweetreat in , , , , , , , ,

Something I've realised about the Japanese is that they put a great deal of emphasis on school club activities. Basically everyone joins a club or circle once they enter university; whether they decide to continue with their high school club activities or pursue other interests, pretty much all students will end up in a club! I guess it's a good way to build friendships and have a bit of 


Throughout the beginning of the school year there are tonnes of events and students running around promoting their clubs, which is quite an amazing site considering there are over 200 clubs. We came to school once to see a sea of club members with signs and pamphlets ready to attack any first years that came their way. I wish the students were this enthusiastic back at home! :)

Although we're already members the international club, we decided to look around to see what else was available. 

Salsa club~ 

Loved these colourful chalk boards! They were just about everywhere!  
The team of the Seikei International Association :)

Her boyfriend is just as funny as she is hehe! 
The view of the street leading to our dorm, it looks so pleasant and peaceful :)
Oh and I learnt a very interesting word today, "チャライ" (charai) which I've come to understand means something like a player/playboy. Apparently in Japan the tennis club, snowboard club and basketball clubs are well known for being "チャライ" lol
