Japan-Day 2012

Hello Gals ^o^
University gets quite stressy right now -.-°...but before I continue working out my research paper for economy class, I want to post about Japan-Day in Düsseldorf one and a half week ago.

Kiki and Michi dressing up

The day started without stress because we had no obligations to get to Düsseldorf at a fixed time.
So we spent 4h with dressing up, doing our hairs, makeup and preparing bentos.

I even stuck on fake nails ^o^ (bought them in Essen in a small shop)

Kiki, Michi and I were NOT cosplaying!!! We just dressed up in our beautiful Yukatas. So it was something special for me because I've always been on Japan-Day in Cosplay before.

I could not use lenses because I had in lenses 4 days the last week and my eyes cant stand them 

We were really sceptical about the weather as it was so cold and rainy the day before....... but we were LUCKY.
Nice temperatures and sun was shining ^o^

We arrived in Düsseldorf in the early afternoon (around 2 pm I guess).

Michi and I got magazines we were searching for in shops of the Immermann street.

finally near the Rhine

Michi prepared Bentos for us *o* OMG she is a genius (Onigiri, Macha cookies, noodle salad and Mochis were packed in real bento boxes)...ok. the onigiri were not o.O

Kiki enjoying the noodle salad

wow~ look at the crowd of people

my beautiful girls ^o^

Nearly all the decorations for our Yukatas and Obis (bows, pearls, hairpieces) are made by myself.

my princess mules <3 decorated by myself

funny pose o.O

Wow~ I was never asked for so many photos....^^° We could have taken money for each photo... we'd be millionaires now XD

We felt like a tourist attraction or a park mascot, everyone wanted to take a photo with us @.@ Very flattering but also slightly stressfull.... ^^°

We could not see the fireworks because we had to get the last train to Gladbeck (were Michi lives) before midnight... Train connections in the Ruhr area aren't that good as in Berlin -.-°
But we made a plan for next year!!! <3

Michi also prepared strawberries in her kawaii bento boxes ^o^

my hair after J-Day...still in good condition, isn't it?

bye bye ~ chu <3
