Hello everybody! It´s my last day in London.... for now!
Today has been pretty chill, I woke up way earlier than expected, but chilled in bed for a while. I eventually got out of bed and headed out. I decided to head to St Pauls Cathedral and have a look. I then decided to head to Abbey Road, in which people still cross the road trying to emulate the Beatles!
I then decided to head down to Victoria, where I went and saw the Natural History Museum.
I then decided to have smóme lunch, which was well needed. I then decided to head to Primrose Hill and have a nice view over the city. I was lucky to have some decent weather during this time, which made the view even better!
I then headed back to the hotel and have chilled ever since, and just had dinner.

Third Babymetal concert and being all over a rainy place!

2/24/2020

Hello everybody! I´m writing this a day late again.
Yesterday started with some decent sleep and getting better, but not totally perfect. I chilled for quite a bit, until about 9am, and decided to head out, to kill some time. I headed out to Piccadilly Circus and checked that out. From there I walked via Leicester square to Trafalgar square, and then to Covent Garden. I then headed to China town, and decided to head back after that, so I could take shower before the concert!
Since I had a seat at the baclony, I wasn´t really bothered to show up real early as in the other concerts. So after the shower and getting there, there were already a decent amount of people there already, and I saw some familiar faces from both the Stockholm show and the Cardiff show, which was awesome!
I was there for a few hours until they started to let people in, and around 7pm I got in, and found my seat which was relatively high up, but a decent view. There was a lot of people, filling up the Hammersmith Apollo, which could host over 10k people total, from what I could gather. The same opening act from Cardiff, Creeper, was opening again. during their last song, someone from the crowd was crowdsurfing and got dropped over the barrier and obviously got hurt.
Then Babymetal Started! The energy from the band was way different than from other shows! The crowd was also really enjoying the show as well. The only gripe I might have, and with that i am very nitpicky, is that the setlist was the same as in the other shows! They had a fire show for this one as well.
After the show there was an afterparty close by, so I headed over there, and it was awesome to hang out with a lot of fans after the show!
I had some trouble getting to the hotel though, as I took the underground to Baker Street, and there were no trains to where I´m going, so I took a taxi, to the hotel. I got home after midnight, and uploaded the footage from the show. and went to bed around 2am.
I woke up at 7am, and chilled for a bit, and left after 10am. I headed to Embankment, and walked over a bridge to London and had a look. I then crossed Westminster bridge, and walked past Houses of parliament and Westminster Abbey to St James Park. I then headed to Buckingham Palace, and then to Wellington Arch and Hyde Park Corner. I checked out a cigar shop, but it was too expensive for me.
I then headed to Tower Hill and walked past Tower of London and headed to Tower Bridge. I Crossed the bridge and walked past HMS Belfast. I then headed to Borough Market, a food market, and had some delicious food. I decided to head back to the hotel and chill for a bit.
Let´s see what I will do tonight!

Arriving in London

Hello, I´m writing this a day alte, because I wasn´t really feeling well yesterday!
Yesterday started with a very bad night, was half asleep all night as I couldn´t rellay fall asleep and had a snoring roommate. But eventually morning came, and I checked out of the hostel and walked to the train station.
I bought a ticket, and realised I payed for a return ticket, which sucks, but I was too tired to care.
I thought I could get some sleep on the train, in which I didn´t which sucked even more. When I got out of the train, the charging cord for my phone broke.
 I eventually arrived in London, and got to the hotel, after a while, and the room wasn´t ready yet. So I left my bags and headed out, really tired. I needed to buy a new charging cord for phone and found one. Since it was saturday, I headed to Portobello Market and bought something for myself. I then headed to Camden town and had some lunch. I also checked out some scented candles and chatted a bit with the guy owning the stand.
After the lunch, I decided to head back to the hotel, and buy some supplies, to catch up on some sleep, I think I was very dehydrated as well, and just stayed in and drank a lot of water and ahd some snacks. Which was very helpful, i´m not in perfect condition, but way better than yesterday!
Tonight I have another concert, which will be the third within a month. And I will probably head out a little bit before and have a shower!

Another Babymetal concert and lazy last day in Cardiff!

Hello everybody! Sorry for not writing in a while!
Yesterday I went to another Babymetal concert, 2nd in a couple of weeks. I woke up relatively early and had some breakfast, and went to take a shower, since I decided to ehad over there earlier than last time. I arrived at the place at around 11am and there were quite a few people there already!
The doors were supposed to open 5.30pm, so there was to be a long wait.
But There´s was a lot of awesome people to hang with, so time just passed along jsut fine, During the wait, we also had some lunch, which was awesome!
After a long wait and going over the planned opening, We are finally being let in. I got some merch and turned in my jacket, and at about 7pm we got in the venue. We waited for the opening act, which was a band called Creeper, a punk rock band, which was better than the opening act I saw in Stockholm.
Then Babymetal came on at 9pm, which was awesome as always! Even though they played almost exactly the same setlist as in Stockholm.
Someone next to me were cosplaying, which made one of the band members really happy!
The whole experience of this concert were amazing in the fact that the community is always amazing, as people were handing out free and stuff and being awesome people!
The show ended at about 10pm and it took a while to get my jacket obviously and got back to the hostel at about 11pm. The hostel has tried to contact me during the day, as someone as smoked in my room and was kicked out. They asked if I wanted to switch rooms because of the smoke. I wanted to check how much smoke it was, and it wasn´t that bad, as they had aired most of it, so I chose to stay. which meant that I got the room by myself, which was nice.
I uploaded the little footage I got and went to bed, and had a decent night of sleep.
I chilled on the bed for a while, until I started to get hungry at about 10am, so I decided to head out. I saw a pizza hut, and saw that they had a buffet, but that opened at 11. so I went to Cathays park, and the surrounding area, which was nice! So after that I went back to Pizza Hut and had a huge lunch, so after than I walked back to the hostel via the stadium close to the hostel. I then took a nap, which was longer than expected. I then chilled on the computer ever since.
I might pack for tomorrow, as I´m heading to London by train, for another show on Sunday, which is going to be amazing as well!

Rainy day in Cardiff!

Hello everybody!
It has been a rainy day here in Cardiff! The day started very early, after a bad night, since my sleep hasn´t been really normalised and most of my roommates were snoring!
SO I chilled on the computer for a bit, and decided to head out. I thought I would go to the city centre to check it out.
I walked towards the centre, and was relatively close to Cardiff, so i decided to head inside and have a look! It was interesting, and it´s always interesting to see old buildings! After a while I headed on, I decided to go to the area where a concert will be tomorrow. I had an idea to maybe be able to get the tickets for the show, as I had bought them earlier and the ticket provider wants me to get them before the show. I couldn´t get them.

Arriving in Cardiff!

Hello everybody! I have now arrived in Cardiff!
The Day started very early, as I had a very early flight. I woke up at 4am, and chilled for a bit and packed the rest of my stuff (I did realise that I missed a few things as well!) and took a taxi to the airport!
I checked in and chilled for a bit. The flight went fine and I had a few hours to kill, so I had a look around and had some brunch.
I then went to terminal two and checked in again. The flight to Amsterdam lifted at 1.30pm and landed on time, I felt kinda rushed though, as I didn´t have a  lot of time until the next flight to Cardiff. But I made it and landed on time. I got my bag quickly. I then waited a while for the bus to the centre of town. I then walked to the hostel. I checked in fine. and then headed out to by some water.
I´m gonna head to bed now!

Babymetal Concert and going home!

2/4/2020

Hello Everybody! I´m writing this at Arlanda Airport, waiting for the flight home!
Yesterday I went to a COncert, a Babymetal concert, which was the main reason for the trip to Stockholm!
The day started early, as usual, as I woke up in the middle of the night, and having a roommate snoring like crazy!
But I went back to sleep until like 9am, and chilled on the computer for a bit, looking for a place to grab lunch, and getting some supplies for the concert!
At the same time, an other roommate wanted to hang a bit, so we went to ICA, and grabbed some supplies, and then chilled for a bit and had some lunch.
Then I took a bathroom break, and a shower and went to the concert hall, since I know there would be a lot of people there already!
Got there at about 12, and there were some people there already! So I chilled with them for a while, until we were supposed to get inside Fryshuset and wait for further instructions.
So we went inside and were told that later on, we would go out again and split up in 3 different lines, for people for Chosen one VIP, VIP and general admission (I was Chosen one), and the doors would open at 5pm.
At 3pm, we went outside and split up in 3 lines, and waited, and waited, and waited. The doors opened at 6pm, since the security didn´t know that the doors would open at 5.
But we got inside eventually, and the whole thing was organised in the sense that Chosen One got in first, and was allowed first to buy merch and then head inside the venue! I skipped buying merch and headed to the bathroom first, since I needed it! I then checked in my jacket, and was eventually let inside the venue.
We were let in, and I managed to get in front, on the right, which was what I wanted! We waited for a bit, as the rest of the crowd got in, and eventually the opening act, Skynd, played, which was ok, but nothing I would listen to on a regular basis!
After a While Babymetal showed up! They kicked it off right away! The whole concert was amazing! They played some surprises, like a song called BxMxC, which is a Japan release exclusive, and the oldie, Headbanger!
It was a short concert htough, and ended like 930pm, so we left after that, and it took a while to get my jacket.
When I got it, I walked back, being tired, but delighted! I uploaded to little footage from the concert and chilled for a bit, and went to bed!

Hello! I write this the day later, as I hung out with some roommates quite a long time, and it was awesome!
The day started early, as I have trouble sleeping, and chilled on the computer until 10am, and went out for lunch. I then walked to the Sophias church, which was a less straining as I remembered.
I then walked to the Katarina Church, and chilled for a bit. I then walked to the east asian museum and the modern museum. I then walked to a mall, close to the royal gardens, and bought something for myself. I then walked back to the hostel and took a nap, and then I hung out with the roommates, and played some cards.

Hello Eveyrbody! I have arrived in Stockholm and have had an interesting day!
The day started way too ealry, as I went to bed quite early to get some sleep, but woke up at 2am and couldn´t get back to sleep, so I stayed up and packed the rest of my stuff and got a taxi at 5.30am, as my flight lifted at 7.15am.
The flight lifted as normal, and landed on time,grabbed my bag relatively quickly and I took the bus into the city. I walked from the train station to the hostel, and on the way, I had some lunch. I got to the hostel at about 11am. It was too early to check in, so I left the bags and took a stroll!
I went through the old town to The Royal gardens. From there I went to the Vasa Museum, which was interesting!
After a while in the museum I took the long back, going passed the Oscars Church, anda garden until I got back at the royal gardens, I decided to head back to the hostel and check in.
I checked in and took a nap. After a few hours, I went and grabbed some food, and then took a shower. I then had an awesome conversation with one of the roommates from Hong Kong.
We will se what happens tomorrow!
