Let's talk about... Tokyo DisneySea

Tokyo DisneySea is the second park that's part of Tokyo Disney Resort and it's unique to Japan, with an unique layout and some rides you can only find in this park.
This park consists on seven lands, or ports of call: Mediterranean Harbor, Mysterious Island, Mermaid Lagoon, Arabian Coast, Lost River Delta, Port Discovery and American Waterfront.
This park was intended to be a more adult-themed park with faster and scarier rides and with shows designed for a more adult audience. Also, alcohol is also sold in this park. That doesn't mean there isn't plenty to do if you go there with kids!

The main difference between Tokyo DisneySea and other castle Disney parks is the big volcano in the center of the park which holds inside one of the main attractions in the park.

Let's talk about... Tokyo Disneyland

Tokyo Disneyland is one of the two parks at the Tokyo Disney Resort. It as built before the Paris and Hong Kong parks so it was the first one to be built outside the US, in 1983. It has basically a similar style as other castle Disney parks, such as California Disneyland or Magic Kingdom in Florida but it's not owned by The Walt Disney Company but by The Oriental Land Company.

Let's talk about... Changes

It's been an eternity since ghe last time I showed my face on the blogsphere. I never seem to have a purpose for the blog but maybe I've finally found just the thing I want to write about. I hope I can make it work this time!

MT collection

Lately, I'm into masking tape. I love it! This is part of my collection.

White day

Today it's one of those days that exist only in Japan and nowhere else in the world. As everyone must know, Japanese celebrate Valentine's day in their own way. Girls or women are supposed to give chocolates to boys or men. There are many "types" of chocolates you can give but mostly 3: Honmei choco, giri choco and tomo choco (which is the one girls give to their female friends instead and comes from the word tomodachi 友達 and chocolate)

A month later, men usually reciprocate and give women a little something for what they call White day. It doesn't have to be chocolate, some other sweets work as well. This year I didn't give any chocolates to anyone so no sweets for me on White day.

I've been thinking about opening an etsy shop to sell some stuff from Japan for deco and also maybe making uchiwas for concerts in Japan. I'll think about it.

Moving!

In less than a month my friend and I are finally moving to a new bigger apartment. Super excited about it because we've been living in a 1 room apartment for a while now and we will be moving to a 3 room apartment which is a great improvement.

Yesterday we went to measure the rooms and there's so much to buy but I have no money so I'll have to learn to live a simple life until I get more jobs and I can pay for stuff. For now we're planning on buying a sofa and as soon as we're moved we're starting to look for "sayonara sales". There's a cool place for "leaving Japan" sales in kansai called Kansai flea market. For those who don't know what a "sayonara sale" is, it's basically people selling (or even giving for free) their stuff before leaving Japan for good for whatever the reason. That's great for when you're moving here with a budget and you have your own apartment. The kanto area has a great selection in Craigslist actually but there's not so much for Kansai.

That webste also has some nice job offers in the Kansai area which is good for me. I've been replying to some adds but being Spanish is making it really difficult. I wish they would just give me the chance of an interview. My English might not be 100% perfect and I might not be the best teacher either but I taught kids English for 8 months in Tokyo and it wasn't that bad.

頑張ります！
