Reunion at Kichijoji
Monday, February 19, 2018
After that less than satisfactory Tokyo day, on the next day, I ventured out to Kichijoji to meet a friend~
별로였던 도쿄 나들이 다음 날, 친한 언니 만나러 키치죠지 갔어요~ 
It was such a struggle to wake up that morning. I'm not a morning person as it is, but all those late night adventures were making it difficult for me xD
그 날 일어나기 너무 힘들었어요. 원래 아침 좋아하는 사람이 아닌데, 계속 늦게 들어오고 늦게 자서 많이 힘들었어요.
Thankfully, I wasn't meeting my friend that early, so I had some time to get ahold of myself xD
다행히 아침 일찍 만나는 게 아니라서, 좀 천천히 준비할 수 있었어요 ㅋㅋ
Since this was my friend, and not a mutual friend Katie knew, I was going out on my own. This was the first time I've ever traveled alone in Japan. I mean, it wasn't that long of a journey, but I was still nervous xD Thankfully, it went very smoothly~
만나는 사람이 네 친구여서, 제가 혼자 만나러가는 거였어요. 일본에서 처음으로 혼자 돌아다니기였어요. 그렇게 멀리 가는 건 아니었는데, 그래도 좀 긴장했어요 ㅋㅋ 다행히 무사히 잘 갔어요~
The friend I was meeting with Subin♡
제가 만나러 간 사람이 바로 수빈언니♡
So we met back in the summer of 2015. She and her brother were visiting California and I had the great opportunity to "teach" conversational English to them for a month. I say "teach" with quotes because I really didn't teach anything. It was pretty much just hanging out xD
언니를 2015년 여름에 만났어요. 언니가 동생이랑 같이 캘리포니아로 놀러왔는데, 제가 1달 동안 영어회화 "가르쳤어요". 근데 제가 뭘 가르쳐요 ㅋㅋ 그냥 논거 같에요 ㅋㅋ
We haven't been able to see each other since 2015, so I was really excited to see her again
그 여름 이후로 못 만나서, 다시 볼 수 있어서 너무 기대됐어요.
The first thing we did after meeting up was go to eat!
만나자마자 밥 먹으러 갔어요!
She said that there was a really good sushi place at the station. I was excited~
키치죠지역에 맛있는 초밥집이 있다고해서 거기로 갔어요. 엄청 기대했어요~
And I was not disappointed~ It was soooooo good~ This was the 2nd time I had sushi on this trip. The first time was a big disappointed (it happened during that mess of an Akishima day), so I was so glad this was good :9 She was so sweet to pay for our meal~
실망하지 않았어요~ 너무 맛있었어요~ 이 여행에 두번째로 먹을 초밥이었어요. 첫번째는 완전 실망이었어서 (그 망한 아키시마 날에 먹었어요 ㅋㅋ), 이번에 맛있는 초밥 먹으니깐 너무 좋았어요 :9 언니가 너무 스윗해서 밥 사줬음~ ㅋㅋ
I made it my mission to take as many purikura on this trip as I could xD They're so cheap in Japan. Here, it's like $11, which is almost 3x more expensive. So of course we took some purikura~ I still can't get over how cute the chibis are!
After that, we just walked around Kichijoji. It was really relaxing. It wasn't as quiet as Haijima, but it wasn't as busy as Tokyo. I really liked it~
먹고나서 그냥 키치죠지 돌아다녔어요. 정말 편안했어요. 하이지마 만큼 조용하지는 않았는데, 도쿄만큼 복잡하지 않아서 너무 좋았어요~
이 여행동안 찍을 수 있는 스티커 사진 다 찍겠다고 결정해서, 당연히 언니랑도 찍었음~ ㅋㅋ 일본 너무 싸~ 미국에선 ₩10000이 넘어요! 일본 거의 3배 비싸요. 이번에 나온 캐리커처 너무 귀엽죠~
Then went to a cute cafe to just catch up. We talked for quite a while, on a various number of topics. People were looking at us a bit strangely because we were speaking Korean and occasionally English xD
그리고나서 아주 귀여운 카페가서 수다 떨었어요 ㅋㅋ 많은 얘기를 나눴어요. 한글이랑 영어 섞으면서 얘기하니깐 거기있는 사람들이 좀 이상하게 보더라구요 ㅋㅋㅋ
Then her boyfriend came to join us. I'm not going to lie, it was a bit awkward xD But I'm like that with every first meeting xD We stayed at the cafe for a bit longer before heading out for a late dinner. We got some really good Tonkatsu. I ended up getting another free meal!
언니 남자친구도 만났어요. 솔직히 좀 많이 어색했어요 ㅋㅋ 근데 저는 항상 어색하니깐 ㅋㅋ 카페에서 좀 더 있고, 늦은 저녁 먹으러갔어요. 진짜 맛있는 돈까스 얻어 먹었어요 ㅋㅋ 너무 고맙게~
And I made my way back to Haijima after that.
그리고, 얼마 안되서 다시 하이지마로 갔어요.
Subin got me this super cute gift~
언니가 너무 이쁜 선물까지 줬어요~
I've never used Japanese makeup before, so I don't have a clue about it xD I'm so happy that she got me some that I can try out. I've only tried the three on the left, but I've been pretty satisfied. I like the blush the best so far. Maybe I'll do a review on these one of these days when I get a chance :)
제가 일본 화장품 쓴적이 없어서 잘 몰라요 ㅋㅋ 그래서 선물로 받아서 너무 기뻤어요. 왼쪽에 3개 밖에 안 써봤는데, 괜찮은 거 같아요. 그 보라빛 블러쉬가 제일 좋아해요. 시간 날때 한번 리뷰할까요? ㅋㅋ
I really had a good time that day. It's always nice to see friends, and it's even nicer when good food is involved~

그 날 진짜 좋았어요. 친구 만나는 건 항상 재밌는데, 맛있는 음식까지 포함하면 더 좋죠~ ㅋㅋ
I don't know when I'll see Subin again, but I think we made enough memories to last for a while~
언니를 언제 또 만날지는 모르는데, 이번에 추억 많이 만들어서 좋아요~
Not only did the reunion go well, my first solo Japanese adventure was a complete success! xD It wasn't as scary as had worried it would be. Maybe the next time I'm in Japan I'll have more solo adventures~
언니와의 재결합도 성공적이었는데, 제 첫 솔로 일본 나들이도 성공! ㅋㅋ 생각한 것 보단 하나도 안 무서웠어요 ㅋㅋ 나중에 일본 갈때 더 자주 혼자 다녀야지~
