Leaving Norway tomorrow!

First, I want to explain my blog name. Dokidoki is the japanese word for heartbeat (it's supposed to resemble the sound of a heart beating). I thought this name was appropriate, considering this is my first time going to Japan, and I'm very nervous and happy at the same time. Those who have known me for a long time knows that going to Japan has been my dream for a long long time. So, this is the reason for my blog name. In addition, my other ideas were already used >_>''
     This will be a blog mainly about my stay in Japan, so that friends, family - and everyone else who is interested - can read about how it is for me to stay in Japan. I'm writing in english - at least my best - so that people living outside of Norway might understand.

Tomorrow I'm going to Japan! I'm really exited, but also sad that I have to leave from Joachim (my boyfriend). I won't see him till we meet in december, then he will come visit me in Japan. The 18th to be exact. Already looking forward to it.
     This weekend Joachim suprised me with a stay at a lovely cabin (which belongs to his brothers girlfriends parents), surrounded by beautiful nature. I really felt like this was exactly what I needed - some time to relax before I had to continue my preparations for my trip to Japan. We really had a nice time together, rowing a boat on the lake by the cabin, fishing, picking blueberries, and enjoying the landscape.

  Enjoying lunch at the porch.

 

Cute company :-)

For now, I'll just continue packing for tomorrow!
