Japan rules!

[ENG] Long time no see... I'm so so sorry for the delay but I totally disconnected  for the last (let me check) two and a half months!! I should be ashamed...my two fans might be worried... ;)

Anyway, I'm back and willing to catch up with you...So I'll start telling you about my amazing trip to Japan or at least giving you some ideas. Oh yes, I'm one of those lucky ones that can actually say that has been there...and it is as they say...amazing. 

There are some things I would like to suggest just in case you are planning visiting it...

You must definitely visit the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, it was great! But you should buy tickets in advance otherwise you probably won't be able to find any tickets for the day. The souvenir shop there is very small compared to the ones found in tokyo so you can have a first glimpse there and wait to go back to the city and shop there.

If you are as thrilled with Totoro as I am you have to go to Shiro Hige's Cream Puff Factory and eat a cream puff in the shape of Totoro whilst having a coffee (with some new friends if its possible like we did...thanks Marika!!!). The place it's pretty hidden so you better have a good map and (and this is important) you must go very early in order to be able to have some Totoro because they sell them very fast....

If you are interested on buying any crafties...I suggest you have a look at the Tokyo Craft Guide because there you will find links to many amazing shops...but anyway, shops are amazing there anyway...even the 100 yen shops!!!

As you can imagine, it doesn't end here...but I was merely refering to the crafty and arty things around....

[CAT] Molts dies han passat...i la veritat és que ho sento molt perquè he estat desconectada més o menys dos mesos i mig! N'hauria d'estar avergonyida...les meves dues "fanses" segur que patien... ;)

Però no passa res, ja estic de tornada i tinc ganes de posar-me al dia...Així que començaré explicant-vos sobre el meu fantàstic viatge al Japó o si més no donant algunes idees...Ai sí, ara ja puc dir que sóc una de les afortunades que hi ha anat...i us puc dir...molt guai!

M'agradaria suggerir-vos algunes cosetes per si esteu pensant en anar-hi de visita.

Heu de visitar definitivament el  Museu Ghibli de Mitaka, a mi em va flipar (però no tinc criteri, perquè en sóc una enamorada). És important que compreu les entrades amb antelació perquè sinó no hi podreu entrar, o sigui que al tanto!

Si sou tant fans com jo, no us perdeu la Shiro Hige's Cream Puff Factory i us mengeu un Totoro farcit de crema mentres feu un cafè a la part de dalt. El lloc està mooooolt amagat així que millor portar un bon mapa o fer uns amics nous com nosaltres. I una cosa molt important, tenen un número determinat de pastissets, que quan s'han venut, s'ha acabat, així que si us voleu assegurar la jugada, aneu-hi ben aviat. També podeu telefonar per reservar...però...sabeu japonès?

Si teniu pensat comprar coses de manualitats us suggereixo que mireu la Tokyo Craft Guide perquè us dona noms i adreces d'un munt de botigues; val la pena. Però no patiu, fins i tot a les botigues de 100 yens (els tot a cent d'aquí) són una passada. 

Com us podeu imaginar, no acaba just aquí...però és estrictament una pinzellada a la cosa més arty i crafty...
