this blog/journal is part of three, which will be an all over summary of my trip to Germany to see Miyavi and then my stay there before going back home to watch Dir en grey on the 1st& 2ndof August.

Where it all began
———————-
Okay so it all began on a Thursday, a day I had never been so happy to wait for, Emma was travelling down to my place to stay the night in preparation for our flight the following day. On arrival we spazzed, ate bacon and she spilt tea everywhere! XD after a mothers farewell final roast dinner we made sure we packed everything we needed and got to having an early night. Well…sort of early…haha Emma couldn't sleep because every time she opened her eyes she saw my door (on it there is the 'Miyabi' Kanji and MYV under it) so thus she couldn't sleep all to well.
Maya from LM.C screamed in to my ear-hole at some ungodly hour of the morning to wake us up and thus began morning faffing (flailing and rushing around frantically) it was a few hours until Jack arrived and we had to wrap up Emma's breasts and get our faces and hair done! I had a brisk shower and then we got to doing our faces followed with our hair. Jack promptly arrived in the middle of wrapping Emma's chest with bandages (she loves to chest wrap xD), so naturally he was informed to wait before entry unless he wanted a face full of tits.
Once done we began flapping about my room and house to 雅-miyavi- and annoying my mother which was all good, she cooked Emz and I a BLTC Baguette! 8D (Bacon-lettuce-tomato-cheese / Emma had no tomato though >.>; ) and soon enough after waiting an extra half hour for my step dad to get ready and to get travel food ready we where in the car and on our way to Gatwick!!! MP3 players kept us sane and sausage rolls, scotch eggs and cocktail sausages kept us from being hungry!
It hadn't hit us on the way there yet, that by the end of the day we where going to be in Germany! Which was a bit scary to think we are that slow for things dawning on us >.>;
Part of the way through the journey after a packet of mini cheddars and some sausages we remembered we where given Kit-kats, and well….we had the bags on our laps all the way and it was a hot day…haha you could say eating those on discovery was very amusing XD especially Emma's scoffing the foil for the melted chocolate and flapping at me for not licking the foil of mine clean XD haha now that was funny indeed.
Emma was soon sparked out, Jack and I where discussing the new Gazette Album, the song 'ART DRAWN BY VOMIT' where Ruki sounds all blank-man-gangster like xD – we where saying imagine Ruki in a glittery low rider bouncing past to that tune with his sequin covered visor in his leather all ' proper G' as we kept saying xD. Lmao it fits so well Ruki in a low rider to that track bouncin' up and down with gangster hand motions xD – now you can see why we where in hysterics in that back seat together lmao.
Emma was soon poked at when I saw an aeroplane zoom over us and I was glued to my window all googly eyed (I've never flown before or seen an airplane close up xD bless I must have looked so stupidly adorable xD).

Airport
———————-
Thus we had arrived at the airport and finding a place to pull over we said our goodbyes to my mom and step dad, taking our stuff we all rushed to the nearest toilet to adjust hair and makeup (so vain XD). Emma and I took forever in that toilet, she has a thing about public toilets but her natures call was screaming at her so she had to go or it was accident time XD same for me really in the respect it was such a long journey! X_X it felt nice to stretch our legs though. Once we were all made back up to satisfactory levels of looks we exited and got on through the airport to the right terminal and check in points. Checking in was eaaaaasy, we sat waiting for out gate to pop us up on the screen, in the meantime I was requested to attack Jacks face with eyeliner so I did 8D lolz that was fun.
We got on through and then had to do through all the gay security check system, we ere told that it would have upped security and stuff, we saw no guards didn't get asked any questions or anything, all that had changed was that we had to take our shoes off? >.>? if that was a change? I think that was there before anyway. They didn't even ask me to remove my sexpot visor with the chains and stuff on =/
One we got inside the main area we bee-lined to a food place and got the shittest over prices sandwich I have ever bought!! In total right, I bought a small bottle of apple juice, a BLT sandwich and that was it I think, if I got anything else it might have been crisps cant remember – but it cost me over £11!!!! Like wtf?! Stupid over prices crap, the sandwich was dry and horrid and tasted like it had gone off but I….for once was too happy to complain : D (now that's a first XD)
Emma got a hot chocolate and it was crap and well everything except the chocolate muffin we bought was shit T^T so we shared it XD.
After that Emma spotted they had an arcade, and you know what that means!!!! DDR!!!!!!!!!! : DDDDDDD we had a round each and wore ourselves out fast because it was unbelievably BOILING in that area of the airport ><;. We kept going on about Mc Donalds Mozzarella stick things but never got around to buying them >.>; one thing we did buy after much Jack-nagging was a German phrase book! Because he was scared we wouldn't find anybody able to speak English lolz.
So then came the time to wait for our plane, we located the right gate place and found our plane was delayed by 40 mins! Sooo we sat about listening to music, I kept an eagle-eye on the screen even though I couldn't read it I could read when 'delayed' changed still ^_^; Emma sat there para-paraing to herself xD and then refraining from screaming obscure out because I asked her not to haha. I remember these two guys watching her sitting down para para and looking very confused o.O and this little asian kid watching in awe XD
THUS the screen changes and Nicky shoots up in a millisecond with 'ITS CHANGED!' Jack and Emma abruptly follow me to the screen to see our gate number on the screen and we are off!! 8D after like…A MILE of conveyer belt walky things to the END of the damn gates we arrive to be sat down again in wait for us to be let on the plane. This was when I was all hyper and giddy, so was Jack xD lolz he was bouncing about to some guys techno music next to us both with me haha. It owned. <3 soon we where all let on and we stole some seats, waiting for jack to board as he was group 'B' not 'A' like us smug fucks 8B. sooo~ sat waiting the plane eventually gets going and we are turning about – I get window seat because I have never flown and to be honest I was excited like hella!! It was like going on rides at Alton towers again! XD
The plane lined up with the run way and I saw all the lights I stupidly shouted 'OOOOOO IT LOOKS LIKE CHRISTMAS!' and made a few people chuckle, Emz and Jack nearly wet themselves xD the kid behind me was like oogling the window like I was and he was about 6? XD shows my mental capacity clearly ne? haha.
So yeah we take off and for the entire duration off the flight I am glued to the window. Emma gets to ordering alcohol, Bacardi and coke for herself and Jack, JD and coke for me 8D! and OMG TERBULANCE! It owns xD it feels like when you go over a bridge in a car with bad suspension or to good suspension…or in a lift/elevator when then go down fast then stop and have that hiccup URRGH feeling xD.
Best description I have 'urrrgh' haha.
It was amazing, clouds looked like cotton wool – my mind kept saying 'oooo you can so just, open the door step out and land on them and bounce about like a retard!' and then my realistic side kicked in like 'action *pushes glasses up nose* if you opened the door everybody would get sucked out and you'd go through the clouds and fall thousands of miles to an inevitable death resulting every bone in your body broken and probably death before impact *nod*…so lets not'
XD I hate my brain.
It was fun, I kept spazzing over the clouds at Emma who liked the Snowy looking landscape ones with me hehehe : D Jack couldn't see so he was flailing about next to her all 'AHHHH I WANNA SEE DAMN IT' xD lol

Arrival
———————-
I noticed part of the way we was over the sea!!! ^0^ and that made me giggle haha, then flying in over Germany was just…beautiful even if the horrid British weather had followed us over (MASSIVE black cloud lingering behind all 'eeeeehhhhh ima get you' *snarl at plane*) their landscape is so pretty, and just wow!!
I started to get all excited again but seat belts were on so I couldn't run about >.>; I wanted to ;-;. Still we landed and that's when it actually dawned on all three of us, stepping off the plane to see the 'Köln/Bonn Airport' or whatever was plastered in big yellow letters on the side and we all froze on the steps down like O_____O fuck….we are in Germany –flail-. Checking out was a piece of piss and the lady on the counter checking our passports asked where we were going because we all looked j-rocked up and cool like 8D and we said about Miyavi and stuff and she was all 'ooo well have fun!' hehe ^_^ sooo now was the funniest part EVER! Us three in Germany trying to navigate the train system >.>; we were so lucky they had English under everything and clear sign systems or we would have stayed there haha. We found our way to the airports trains and after fighting with the ticket machine in German we were soon on our train!
This is were we first got lost! And I'm so proud of myself for working it all out lolz XD considering I failed German. We went a stop too far basically instead of getting off at Köln/Deutz something…we got off at Köln hbf, the central station. On the way wondering around very tourist lost looking xD we located a map with stupid people in the way of us reading it clearly. Now – I remembered the map on the hostel print out my mom gave me see, and it showed us on the side of the river opposite the big twin spire cathedral thing was. And the map had circled where we were, and we were on the same side of it. Thus Nicky concludes we went one stop to far and we needed to get off before we crossed the bridge!. Jack was wailing in the background about being sure or not Emma was all game for going back up and back tracking our steps, she cooled Jack down with the motherly tone of 'if we get lost we can go back to the airport and start from scratch again'. Hehe soon shut him up xD.
So onwards, back on the S13 train I do believe? And back one stop. – oh yeah…who was right 8D? – we get off and see the 'Ottoplatz' sign and im like 'FUCK YES HAHA YEAAAAH WE ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!!!' *bounces about with suitcase* xD. Sooo we follow the signs…but stomachs call us for food see, so we look for something familiar! And what else could there be?…….that big big big golden 'M' and an arrow. XD
Emma and I approach the queue together she decides to buy the food round this time, Jack has this fear of approaching and asking people sooo us ladies did the work :B. we were stood in the line TRYING to learn how to order from our phrase book when some guy from some other country like prodded at me and was like 'were are you from' and we are like *blink*…England…- him: 'wow!! Why are you here for?' us: 'to see a musician play.'…Him: 'oh who's that?'…us: 'Miyavi…uh he is a Japanese musician – its his first Europe show so we thought we'd join'…him: 'wow….so let me get this right..you are from England…you flew here to Germany to see a Japanese guy playing here all the way from…Japan..?….wow that's amazingly odd' XD that was a fun conversation.
There was a point in the queue I was like 'anybody speak Germany AND English here that can order for us?' *looks about scared at all the Germans behind her* I got no answer so I gave up haha. Sooo we approach the counter and Emma gives the good ol' "sprechen sie English?" at the counter guy and he was like 'Yes!' and then me and Emma erupted in a loud 'YESS!' and she hit her hand on the counter XD lmao. He laughed at us and was like 'okay so your order?' haha. It was basically like 'two large big mac meals….' Him: tomato sauce or mayo….me: 'MAYO'… him: 'drink?'….us: 'cola…'…oh and we got Jack his cheese burger xD.
Dragging ourselves after our order was paid for and collected, we sat on down at a table and stuffed our faces merrily on the BEST mc Donalds I had ever tasted D: I tell you, German Mayo is THE SEX and and and German Mc Donalds IS GORGEOUS. xD never in the UK have I had a Mc Donalds that has tasted THAT good.
