Marlene in Japan

Hey, happy Lucia everyone😄 Today the 13th of December is the so-called Lucia-day. I got to celebrate Lucia last Saturday in Kobe. I was invited by our good friend Seiko who is a member in an organization called JSSK (Japan -Sweden Society Kansai). I also invited my friend Jaehee from Korea to participate and experience some Swedish food and tradition. I was going to participate in the "Lucia tåg" and sing, something I hadn't done since I was 10 years old.  The event was held at Kobe Club, and it was much fancier than I had expected hehe.

Hey, So my adventure here in Japan is coming to end ( at least for this time). It´s barely two weeks left here before going back home. It has been really stressful the last couple of weeks, a lot of tests and the finals are coming up next week (which means 6 tests, yaaay..). Life is not easy now haha, just want to go home and celebrate Christmas. However, later today I will meet up with one Japanese girl and her friend and we will go to Ikea and eat (hopefully some Swedish traditional Christmas food). She will be studying next year at my home university in Sweden so hopefully, we can keep in contact😊 I have not much planned this weekend besides studding. On Friday we are having a Christmas movie night in my unit, let's get into Christmas mood! 🎅🎄 Now I have to end this post and start my day with studding before going out on a present hunt in Osaka! またね~ A sushi place that I visited last week Okey sushi, but the best place is still the one that I went to with

Hey 😃 This is going to be a short post. I have a test tomorrow, so I have to get ready for bed early. This post will be about my room (mostly just showing a video of my room), but first, let me update you on what I´ve been up to. It´s only 2,5 weeks left here, which unfortunately is going to be filled with a lot of studying. I have tests and a presentation next week and the week after we have our finals. Ganbarimasu😅 But to write about some more "happy things",  I got invited to a Christmas party that the once who arranged the speaking contest is hosting, the best month of the year has arrived, welcome December🎅🎄 and... Today is also my mum's birthday, Happy B-day mum❤️ I have recently got really homesick because usually there is so much stuff going on back home during this time of year. Especially this time of year I like to spend time with my family.  I welcomed the month by going to Universal Studios with my friend Yui. It was super fun and I was dressed i
