After a whole day of travelling and sightseeing it was finally time to rest. We chose a capsule hotel, to experience this unique form of accommodation. Here’s the whole review of this interesting place!
Is stalking an issue in Tokyo?
It’s International Women Day and I decided to write about something every women going to Japan should know. The stalking problem. Something that a two week turist haven't probably paid attention to in such extent as a long term resident. Remember how in anime sometimes there is this creepy stalker girl/guy character who is usually a harmless comic relief? Well, it’s not just writer’s imagination, it’s an actual problem. One I unfortunately saw a glimpse of myself.
Kyoto is a place everyone should see while in Japan, but that’s not the only place worth seeing in Kansai region. That’s why during my stay, just after spring semester was over, I went for a one week “road trip” there. The idea was to see as much as I could in a week and not limit myself to one city. Before I’d start talking about all the things and places worth visiting, the question is: how to get there?
Okonomiyaki is on the absolute top of my list of best Japanese meals. Just after I tried one, I knew I have to learn how to do this, because I will miss it terribly after coming back home.





When I came to Tokyo and asked my Japanese friends "Can I cook rice without a rice cooker?" all of them said "impossible". Since I was definitely not buying a cooker for a few months of stay, I was cooking it the same way as I do back home. So, as you can see, it is possible ;)

The most common question I had after coming back from Japan was “are things there expensive?”, “how much bread costs?", “is rice cheaper there?”. I had exactly the same questions before I went there. Now, That I’ve seen it with my own eyes (and made extensive notes) I can share my experience with all of you and answer those questions!
When I came to Japan I was prepared for some communication difficulties to occur. After all, I barely speak Japanese, so what else could I expect? But what surprised me the most was that the very first area I had really huge problem with, was sense of humor. Really. I literally can’t make jokes in here.

A word you’ll learn really fast in Japan is konbini (コンビニ) which means convenience store. Why? Because they are really, really convenient.
