Japan Summer of 2014

So, this will pretty much be a summary of what happened. All I can remember at the moment. But I went to Japan at the end of August '14 to visit my host family from back in '09.
It was an exciting time and I loved every moment of it.
I'll add a few photos I took as well.

When I first arrived, after taking care of things such as getting a JR pass, my family and I went to eat. Then once we arrived at home we stayed up pretty late catching up and talking. It was so fun and even though I barely knew Japanese I managed to communicate with my host parents.

 The 2nd day I was there I went to a concert and my neck was literally sore for a few days. but I got to touch a singer's hand (idk what band) and then Asuka from Crimson Shiva grabbed me twice and helped pull me forward so I was really happy and now he's my bias in the band. カルディア (Cardia) has a guitarist named Haruka who really reminded me of Uruha. Since I didn't know his name and what not I just called him 'Uruha's brother' for awhile lol. Here's a video.

 The next day I took the train with my sister to Nagoya. We were going to meet with the rest of our family later. We went to an aquarium then a planetarium which I fell asleep at because it was dark and the guy was talking slowly and it was in Japanese so I couldn't understand shit so it didn't matter.
Then we went out to eat with my host mother's family and their grandma is adorable and they talk a lot but theyre funny.
I fangirled a little with the aunt because we both love Daesung from Big Bang.
Our hotel was hella nice too. We walked around the city as well and went shopping. I was able to go to a Mint Neko and h.Naoto store!

 I went to Osaka and Kobe too. Went to Universal Studios and saw the Harry Potter exhibition and the ride was funnn! It felt like you were really in the movies lol
 Spent a lot of money at the shop and it was mainly for my friend. Afterwards we went home and after that my sister and I went back to Osaka for me to go shopping and oops I spent all my money on GazettE. From the trip I bought so many items... Bags were hella heavy.

Then the last 2-3 days we stayed home and relaxed which I'm glad for cause I was hella exhausted. It was hot too I can't believe how much I was sweating when I was there so much sweat. I wore jeans at USJ and wanted to die it was a bad mistake. Got to play video games again with mah lil bro and it was funny.

But yeah it was good and ugh all the delicious food. There's this place called Mos Burger and oh. my. god. best burgers ever. different from america of course along with pastas in Japan but ughghgh. Udon in Nagoya is really good too. I don't know the name of the place but it was in the station area.

More flyers for my collection! 
There's a lot more photos but I decided to just post ones from Nagoya and then Jrock related ones. Maybe I'll make a post to share more photos in the future.

Well, that's it for now! :) Bye~
