Summer Already!? 夏天了!?

Image
So today the weather was amazingly sunny and warm so I went out for more shopping... but wait, that's not my main point, what I'm trying to say it's the WEIRD WEATHER! According to the news, it seems that from tomorrow onwards, it will be the beginning of summer, called "Rikka" in Japanese. 今天的天氣又特別好,所以我又出去逛街了...不過這不是我的重點,重點是這個奇怪的天氣!根據新聞,明天就是夏季的第一天了!? Temperatures rose to as high 24 degrees in Tokyo with other areas of Japan up to 30 degrees. So it was snowing in mid April and now summer in beginning of May!? What the hell is going on??? I wanted more cooling comfortable weather, not extreme cold and hot! 東京的氣溫今天達到24度,其它地區甚至有升到30度呢!明明4月中還下著雪,現在才5月初就夏季了,搞什麼鬼天氣啊!? 我本來很期待舒適涼爽的天氣的,不是忽冷忽熱的怪天氣啦! So back to my shopping, I purchased some insect repellent devices because mosquitoes had awoken from their deep winter sleep and worms had begun to appear inside my closet. I seem to be always plagued by insects of different kinds in different countries. First there were

Uniqlo sale in Golden Week 黃金週的Uniqlo大減價

Image
I went to Uniqlo Sale with the intention of spending not more than 2000yen on 2 polo shirts. But I ended up with 12 pieces of garment for 12,500yen, 32% off usual price! (approx. SG$183) I reasoned with myself that summer is coming so the money was well spent (this is what women usually do to justify our shopping sprees) XD 昨天去Uniqlo大減價,本想用2000yen買2件球衣而已。但是結果花了12,500yen買了12件衣服,省了32%!  呵呵~ 這種時候,女人都會想出一些理由來說服自己狂買是合理的。因為夏季快來了,當然要買一些新衣穿啦!XD

Shopping in Tokyo 在東京逛街

Image
So what to do when you're staying in Shinjuku? Of course, SHOPPING! 住在新宿能幹什麼呢?當然是逛街啦! Harajuku is dotted with many famous foreign brands like Gap, Laura Ashley, Chanel, Bulgari, etc. There's also a huge Nike retail shop which allows you to customize your very own shoe for approximately 19,000yen. You can choose a shoe design which you like, then use their computer to change the color and material. I'm saving up for it! 原宿到處都是外國品牌的專賣店,而且你可以花約19,000yen,在Nike設計你自己的鞋子。首先要選擇你喜歡的鞋款,然後利用他們的電腦把顏色和布料換掉,製作只屬於你自己獨一無二的鞋子喔!

Meiji Jinguu (Shrine) 明治神宮

Image
The Meiji Shrine is located right next to Harajuku station. No wonder it is a popular tourist attraction as well as a great place for Japanese people to relax. However, like any other gardens, the iris garden located inside costs like 500yen per adult.The shrine itself is free entry. 明治神宮位於原宿站附近,難怪能成為超人氣的旅遊景點和讓日本人放鬆心情的好地方。不過裡面的花園和其它花園一樣都要收費。我記得成人大概是500yen。神社是免費進入的。

Sakura and the Weird April Weather

Image
There was lots of sakura during the first 2 weeks of April so ASJA (the scholarship provider) organized a "Hanami"(flower seeing) to Shinjuku Park on 3rd April. But... 4月的前兩個禮拜有很多美麗的櫻花,所以4月3日時,ASJA獎學金機構就約了大家一起去新宿公園賞花,不過...

Dormitory in Shinjuku, Tokyo 東京宿舍

Image
This was what I saw when I arrive at my Shinjuku school dormitory on 1st April. It was really small at 9 sq metres, equipped with only a bed, study table, chair, side table and wardrobe/shelf. TV and fridge was passed down from seniors who had graduated. 這是我4月1日進入新宿宿舍時看到的情況。 面積只有9sq m,設備只有床,桌子,椅子,旁桌和衣櫃兼書櫃。電視和冰箱都是之前畢業的前輩留下的。
