Spending time in Japan on Dec

Heyy, long time no blog! I've been lazy about writing recently, but I’ve decided to restart it today.

In December, I went back to Japan for three weeks and spent time with my family. Being in Japan made me so happy, and I realized once again how much I love my home country—especially the weather and the food.

The temperature was around 10°C, and of course, there were way more hours of sunlight than in Finland. Plus, food in Japan is so inexpensive! When my boyfriend and I went to a sushi restaurant for dinner, we ate until we were full, and it cost us less than 20 euros. At that moment, I honestly didn’t feel like going back to Finland anymore—everything is just too cheap in Japan!

Seriously, why are even burgers in Finland so expensive?? I don’t think I can survive here anymore... (ಗдಗ。)°

Daylight Saving Time Ended

Hi! I just woke up and noticed the time difference between Japan and Finland is now 7 hours instead of 6. This is my first experience with such a change, and I find it fascinating. I even had to adjust the time on my analog clock (∵`) Last night, I couldn’t sleep well—I think it’s because I drank a large café latte in the evening to stay focused while studying. So, I ended up browsing the internet, especially YouTube. Lately, I’m into listening to K-pop, and I discovered a song called APT. It’s so addictive! The intro, which starts in Korean, really caught my attention. The song was produced by Bruno Mars and is sung by ROSÉ from BLACKPINK. I don’t understand the Korean part, but I can sing along with the English lyrics, so I enjoyed watching the music video and singing along at midnight. I also received a package from my mom in Japan. She sent some items for dealing with snow and ice, along with Japanese groceries like curry powder, packaged rice, and soy sauce. I miss the taste of Ja...

Final exam week

Hi! I just finished my final exam, and I’m exhausted (-_-). Today, I took the American Studies exam. It was tough, and I’m not confident about passing because I had to write a short essay of about 400 words. I hope it went well. Plus, I have a 3,000-word essay due by October 31st (´··`). Writing that many words in English feels impossible since it’s my first time writing such a long essay! But I have a domestic trip from November 1st to 2nd, so I have to finish everything before then. At least it’s good motivation to get through the week. After the final exam, I tried making a yogurt cake with klementiini (satsuma in Finnish) as a break. I used a recipe my Japanese friend shared with me here. I think making sweets myself is cheaper than buying cakes, so that’s one reason I decided to try baking. Sometimes, I really crave sweets, but they’re unbelievably expensive here! So far, I’ve only had cake three times at cafés, and my favorite is mandarin cake. Today, I was able to make satsuma ...
