Hello Everybody!
This post is about my first time in Japan.
Let's start from the begining;
When my love from Japan comes?
This happened to me when i was a kid, my grandfather (mom's dad) used to tell me about his life, but principaly about his mom who was japanese, sadly he lost her when he was 5 years old, so he never knew about that side of his family; he used to tell me that i looked as his mom, it's a beautiful memory that i've from him, i really would love he knows that now i've been in Japan two times, he used to tell me "one day you'll be there wearing a beautiful kimono, walking in Japan's streets were you belong" , when i finally did it i felt nostalgic and happy at the same time.
So, since kid i was curious about japanese culture and i started to look for information, everything got my attention but at first the pop culture, as anime, manga, cosplay, etc.
I've always dreamed about visit Japan, it was one of my biggest dreams, i planned all my life with any expectation that would happen. Last year before i graduated from the University, i was thinking about what i could do until i find a job, so, my first idea was traveling, but Japan as destination wasn't my first idea, because i knew it is expensive and so far way, but i kept the idea on my mind. One day a friend told me that she was travel to Japan and study there for 6 months, i got surprised and so happy for her, she mentioned me about a tour, which was organizated by her Japanese teacher, she gave me her contact and talked with her, at first i felt it wasn't too much money, i had some that i had been keeping for a time so i could pay it and ask to my dad to support me; when finally i did it and all was ready just to go i couldn't believe it was just 1 day before i left Mexico and
to be in Japan, after everything i had to go throught i was almost making my dream comes true (sounds silly haha).

Welcome to Japan!
おかえりなさい!
After 14hrs of flight i finally arrived to Japan, Narita's Airport, i couldnt sleep anything, i was too excited and happy, when i felt the airplane touching Japanese ground i bet my heart stopped haha.
I went through customs, and finally, Japan here we go! I was with a group of friends waiting the JRpass, then we left the airport heading to Tokyo where we stayed for almost 1 week at Ueno.
Our first destination just after left our luggage at the hotel was Asakusa, it's an amazing and beautiful place, you must visit if you go to Tokyo !
There i tried Sakura's icecream <3 rare flavor but tasty!, i was hoping to see sakura's tree but the season was already over.
That night we visited the dreamed place, Akihabara haha, it was amazing! <3 we saw anime, manga, cosplay everywhere
We visited by first time a maid cafe, it was so cute, but strange at the same time, saddly there is not allowed take photos due to protect the privacy of the maids, i guess i'll make a special post about this later.
There are more things i want to share about this trip, if you have something special that you want to know about it please let me know i gladly will answer.
This all for today, thank you for read!
