Melissa's January Blog Post
Hello, Melissa here!
January has been a fun but cold month! I found out my Uni result, had a temaki-party at my homestay house, went to some hot springs, went to Yokohama and finally, I also went skiing!
My favourite event of January was going to Shin-okubo with my friends Yuri and Yuuna! Shin-okubo is known as the 'Korean town' of Tokyo and so there were loads of yummy korean food restaurants and KPOP (korean pop music) shops! For lunch we ate bibimbbap [pork with kimchee and a soft boiled egg-Peter] and my friend put so much gochuchang sauce (like chilli) in her food that her face turned bright red. Then we explored the area and looked at some korean make up and skincare!
Finally my homestay mum's friend had reccommended an 'Ikemen cafe' that we should go to! It was the cutest cafe ever with disney pictures drawn on your plate and coffee...and of course there were Ikemen! [Good looking guys. If you get called 'ikemen', be assured it's a big compliment - Peter] Finally we walked to Shinjuku to take some purikura! It was such a fun day and I'm so happy that I can take such lovely memories like these home with me!
