1. Chocolate There's a chocolate factory (Lindt & Sprüngli) in my hometown :D The shop there sells a lot more variety than other shops because it's fresh off the production line after all. Sometimes the prices are better, too because the products are not packaged for exporting etc. so it's less fancy pants (but if that means it costs less hey, who cares about what's OUTSIDE... quality is exactly the same if not better because it's pre-shipping). Of course I also love chocolate myself. Especially Swiss chocolate. Lindt is also Swiss chocolate but the taste is still a bit different...I had original Swiss chocolate (my sister lives in Switzerlandn ow) the other day and boy that was SO GOOD *v*
Since a lot of people know and like Lindt abroad as well, I always take stuff over for my friends and to give away as a present. And to have a stash of comfort food around because...I miss chocolate from here whenever I'm abroad. Japanese chocolate or the Cadbury stuff is -okay- but not -good- really... *sigh*
2. Roppongi Uh...My university was there and I used to live around the corner but tha's pretty much it. I'm not THAT much into clubbing there and have only gone maybe 3-4 times and had run-ins with Jin and his peeps. There's an Izakaya I like there though where I went with my office for dinner and drinks. That was pretty cool.
Roppongi hills is also nice. They have a German "Christmas Market" there, which is not entirely special at all and super expensive but...it was still kind of cute. Haha. I also love the cinema there. :)
3. Bunny! I actually have no clue when exactly it started but I guess it's because my zodiac sign is bunny/rabbit. I just started to like the animal at some point, especially on merchandise etc. I own several plushie bunnies (you saw my big-ass bunny XD).
Along the way, my 'signature' when I was given a so-called "Con-Hon" (Convention/Concert Hon=Book, something like a frienship book that gets passed around at conventions or concerts or events here related to Anime/Manga and Japan in general) became a bunny as well. It looks a bit like Takeuchi Naoko's bunny signature in the Sailor Moon Mangas crossed with the "CLAMP Bunny" (from Wish). It's an evil grinning bunny XD
4. Kakumei Uh...Kakumei Jidai *starts off like Mitsu* This is kind of random. What am I supposed to say about this? Maybe that 2010 I went to watch Kakumei a ridiculous number of times. That Kakumei was where I met you for the first time (ok technically before but we met BECAUSE we were going to Kakumei later on...) and Kakumei 2011 was the last fandom related thing I did last time I was in Japan. :X
5. KiraKira Is actually partially where my name comes from. My vietnamese name can be kind of difficult so a Japanese friend came up with "she's always 'kirakira' happy, sparkly...so why not call her 'Kira?'". That didn't stick at first though, not until secondary school (so when I was 10 years old). Ever since then I have been known to some as Kira and to others by my real name. I go by both names most of the time still because it's not officially my name on my passport etc. YET but depending on where I'll be working I might have to make the name change. My sister did, too. Ugh... hassle I'm not looking forward, too. Paperwoooooork. ;v;
