At last! Paris. I arrived at six in the morning the see that it was pouring outside :( My aunts friend Pauline invited us to stay at her house until it was time to check in at our hotel. Boy did we need that invitation, because I ended up sleeping in all day with my grandma. What a complete waste of a Paris day! She lives in a big apartment that has a grand view of the eiffel tower, I am completely jealous! I woke up at 10:30 and we left for brunch at a nearby cafe. Un sandwich avec du jambon et fromage s'il vous plait! Et un chocolat chaud - It was perfect. The hot chocolate was made of real chocolate, and I had to stir the bottom of the cup well in order to mix in the chocolate.
Returning to the apartment, there was a restaurant named "sushi eiffel". Good to know if we ever got homesick! I was actually surprised at how many sushi parlors there are in Paris, almost two in every block when you get to the foodier places in the city.
If this apartment doesn't scream Paris, I don't know what does! Well, maybe a beret and the eiffel tower...
Me here wiped OUT at the hotel. I had no idea I could sleep for 24 hours.
Knitted top from Forever 21, hollister shorts and Sa-Che bag. I found this bag in my auntys closet, it was perfect for my style theme for the trip! I flew with these heels and surprisingly didn't find myself crying.
First night at the Karuizawa Prince Hotel. It's an annual tradition to come here at the end of August. It's always about 5-10˚ colder than Tokyo, which I absolutely am thankful for. When I was here, it was so cold that I constantly needed layers, and the rain didn't make it any better. But this night was beautiful and I danced in the rain.
When we hoped off the cab at Angelina, the driver warned us not to eat too much chocolate! That's when I knew we were in the right place. They had sweets like macaroons, cake, ice cream - you name it! They are most famous for their mont blancs and chocolat chaudes but I indulged in a rich chocolate cake while drinking thé Angelina. It was a beautiful day in Paris.
Dinner at 一茶一坐 with Tanya and Amanda! Reunited in Tokyo once again, we enjoyed eating a delicious Chinese meal, taking purikura and singing at a karaoke booth in Shibuya.
