Work&Travel in Japan

blogfont1

Hello everyone~!

This post is especially dedicated to all my fellow adventures and japanese majors out there who are looking

for an ‘easy’, ‘financial possibility’ to spend up to 1 year in Japan.

Now, all I’m going to talk about from here onwards is based on my OWN experiences so please keep that in mind while reading.

1247_01

First of all let me introduce to you the program that brought  me to Okinawa back in 2011:

BOOBOOSKI

Boobooski is an Australian organisation that has been  placing foreigners either in a hotel resort in Okinawa (summer program)

or at a Ski Resort in Hokkaido. The two of the main eligibility criteria are:

You should have at least 6 months of Japanese study experience and eligible for a japanese Working Holiday Visa.

You can apply directly at their homepage and they’ll be in contact with you asap.

Now, for everyone who is worrying about the expenses, here is the deal. You only have to pay for the flight tickets + bring some money for the first

months because you are getting PAID!

While I worked at Rizzan Sea Park Hotel I received around 70,o00 Yen a month which already included the accommodation fees.

 So you really have 70,000 Yen spending money each month!

(You are getting paid more during the winter program – so I heard. Approx. 120,000 Yen a month.)

I can’t express with words how much I learned while being in Okinawa. Definitely made some of the best friends in my life so far.

If you are interested to read about my experiences while working at Rizzan Sea Park Hotel you can find all my written entries below

  7. Karaoke time with my lovely Roomates!
  8. Visiting my friends in Naha
  9. Staying fit
  10. Beach timeeeee!
  11. Sweet Potato Factory
  12. Daily life
  13. More of my daily life =)
  14. Morning Shift
  15. My trip to Nago
  16. Last day in Okinawa

The time I spent in Okinawa is something I’ll never forget – it was a wonderful experiences. Working was no joke though! lol

f1a3804d-87cb-4550-a4ec-d7236416343b_20120718203638

There are probably a lot of you thinking that you could also just give it a shot, fly to Tokyo and look for a job there…

Let me tell you that, that’s going to be more than difficult if you can’t write&read Kanji.

After I left Okinawa to look for a job by myself in Tokyo I was struggling a lot, which you can read about here:

  1. Arriving in Tokyo
  2. Job Hunting & first struggles
  3. Korea Town near Shinjuku
  4. Final Decision
  5. Final Clubbing

I don’t what to say that it is IMPOSSIBLE to find a job in Tokyo but it is a little bit difficult.

Living abroad is nevertheless one of the best experiences one can have. If you have the chance always take it!

If you have further questions, then feel free to leave a comment at this post and I will get back to you asap.

Much love!

blogfont1

こんにちは~!

Happy Sunday!

今日約束どおり友達のメイクオーバーの話をします。

Today I will talk about my friend’s make over as promised!

はじめて友達のメークアップからアウトフィットまで選びました!!!

It was my first time to put on make up for somebody else and to chose the outfit as well.

もちろん写真も自分で取りました。エヘへ

Well, of course I took the pictures as well hehe

すぐもっといいカメラを買えなきゃね。。。汗

I guess sooner or later I’ll have to buy a better camera after all…

じゃ~!これからメイクオーバーの出来栄えをみんなさんに見せたいと思います。

Well, let’s get started, here is the result of my first performed make over.

どぞ~!

Enjoy!

P1090184

メークアップのお陰で目がもっと大きく見えます。きれいな目ですね?笑

The make up helps to underline her beautiful eyes.

P1090213

。。。足はすごく長いです!羨ましいは~~~!

Her legs are so long that they are perfectly made for overknee socks! They suited her so well!

P1090135

ストッキングとドレスはとても似合うのに大学でいつもじんすを履いています!!!w

Eventhough she looks adorable in dresses she usually wears jeans to university so this time,

だからこんかいどうしてもドレスを着てもらいたかったです。エヘへ

no matter what she would have said I put her in one.

可愛いでしょう?

Look how cute it looks!

P1090206

この足で早くモデルになってください(笑)

…Model pose like a pro! Seems like she has been in the business for years already! //laughs

P1090197

不思議ですね~!

I love the somehow dreamy/abesendminded expression on here face here. So pretty.

P1090216

ん?

By her hair covering one eye – her image appears more mysteries.

P1090141

。。。髪の毛もこのアウトフィッツと似合うでしょう?

Im kind of in love with her hair, even though I was worried at first that I wouldn’t be able to match the make up to it.

お洒落レディーですね?

However the black&white combination turned out great, don’t you agree?

どうですか?気に入りましたか?笑

How do you like it?

私のはじめてのメイクオーバーでした!

Keep in mind that it was my first make over, so I still need to improve my skills a lot!

とても楽しかったからまたやりたいですね~!

However, I had a lot of fun and my friend was easy to work with. Thank you again dear!

フランクフルトに住んでいる人はぜひ私を連絡をしてくださいね~!

If anyone else in Frankfurt is interested in me performing a free make over for you – contact me.

もしメイクオーバーがただで欲しいならメールをおくってくださいね>> clumsy_panda@me.com

Maybe I can do a weekly ‘make over’ session from now on. I’d love that. (Email: clumsy_panda@me.com)

じゃ~!また来週ね~!

Alright, then I’ll see you next week!
