Christmas has come and gone, and I am back in Paris. As promised, my new year's resolution was to get back into blogging again, so here i am in the virtual world. I am back in France at the moment with a few new toys in hand in the form of Cameras. Mama and Papa UG got me a perfectly wonderful christmas present in the form of a Canon EOS 550D. I am definitely not complaining there.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

2011.

New year's resolution: Post at least once a week on my blog.


So here is week 1.

I flew half way across the world today to see my family, whom i haven't seen for a good year. I went back to AU for my best friend's wedding in september, that apart from that, this was the first time i had seen them in a long, long time.

Tokyo: So when a packet says Coffee Creamy in your hotel room, don't go an assume that it means that you are about to drink some creamy coffee. Upon first pouring out into cup and seeing white powder, don't go and assume that it is going to taste like coffee... Then, when you finally do try the white goodness, and realise it really does mean coffee cream, rather than creamy coffee, you won't be surprised at all.

Meltykiss Whips really are what the title says. They sure did make me want to melty kiss.

Update: I dont think i have ever had my heart broken before, but today could be the first time. I hadn't seen my sister in about 6 months, and i was so excited to see her. We talked about everything, but mostly boys... she seems to be going out with someone by the name of Grant, but also likes another said boy, michael. I ranted to her about liking two boys at the same time, but in the end, it is her choice... the conversation got onto the topic of religion, and she mentioned she wasn't 'religious' anymore.

Now our family goes to church (not that that makes you a christian at all), and we all love God. There are 6 of us in the family, and for her to share something like that with me is big news. I know that it is only God that can change her, but I feel like a thread that has always held us together has suddenly snapped. I feel like so much has changed this past year since i have seen her last, and i dont know her at all anymore.

I miss the old MJ.

I am sorry those of you who don't believe in a God, and don't want to be reading this, but i hope that you respect my blog enough to not go ranting off how wonderful it is that my sister has lost her faith in the Lord.

Crying, she said to me.. Francie, i want to believe, i really do, but when i pray, i just dont feel like i am talking to anyone. I feel stupid. If God wants me to know him, he will. I went through the same thing at the same age, so i pray that it is just something that she is going to work through, and figure out in time. I pray that she will come to see the Lord and just how much he loves her.

... Japan is AMAZING. Upload photos soon!!!

So it is holiday season in Australia. I'd just like to say Merry Christmas erryone, but it wasn't that merry for our family this year, as we spent the most part of it on a plane to the mother country of Japan.

Yes, as most people were sleeping, we were travelling through the night watching the latest movies on tiny plane tv screens and eating far-from-tasty food.

During the next year abroad, i'll be doing a lot of travelling, so i thought i'd write a few reviews on various modes of transport and what have you.. sorry fashion, you'll be pushed to the side for a little bit, but that's ok, cos you're my one true love, dont you worry.

So, let's take it away.

JAL
Our family goes travelling once a year, abroad, and never have we had to pay for excess luggage. (We usually fly QANTAS) Unfortunately this year, being 30kgs over(how is that even possible) we were charged a ridiculous amount p/kg. Thank the Lord that we only gor charged for 6kg over. I guess it was the skis, seeing as i packed like (14kg instead of 20, yee boy.)

My parents fly business and us kids fly economy, and as usual, there isnt that much to brag about in economy. The food is alright, with a variety of japanese or western, yet i found it strange that whenever they offered you drinks, it was only 1/2 cup full after they poured it.

The pillows and blankets they give you are quite thin, and they stop the in-flight entertainment quite soon before landing.

Overall, the staff are nice, and well presented.

JAL, i present you with a 76/100.

In other news, my sister has been in Japan for the past few months, and seeing as we're here too, we're going to meet up with her and i'm uber excited.. although sad, knowing i wont see her for a whole year.. (I'll be in France on my own exchange)... one daughter comes back, the other one leaves.

Anyway, we've been here in Tokyo for about 3 hours, and there's a 2 hour time difference between here and AU, so it's about midnight there and 10pm here. The food here is amazing: Udon and Tempura for dinner.

Now i am just relaxing around the computer, waiting for my hair dye to sink in. Hypnotic Red here we come.

I apologise for hte lack of photos, my camera cord is at home, but i will be flying back to Sydney in a week, picking up my bags for France, and will pack it in then.

Until the next post, over and out.
