Ready to party and do shokai…
Shokai suru means introduce yourself! So here I am, most people that would usually read this blog are regular readers and therefore know a fair bit about me because I write random stuff about my self all the time….
But a little introduction for those joining from the Ultimate Blog Party which is hosted at 5 minutes for mum! Firstly welcome to my blog…I am recently 23, recently engaged and I live in Tokyo with my fiancee Shumpei and we are moving to Australia mid year for one year before we come back to live here in this urban jungle! I am originally from Brisbane Australia and all the background info about me can be found on my about page and if you are into random facts then check out my post with 100 things about me or write meme into my search box and I am sure you will be overwhelmed with more info about me than you ever wanted to know!
I have no kids but am a preschool teacher here (I seem to be surrounded by mummies at this blog party! Or should I say mommies as I realize a lot of you are American)
I like to take photos which you can see here and I like to write a lot (as you can see from my blog!). I also love books, cherry blossoms (hence the blog name) and food….plus I dabble in a bit of knitting sometimes!
I love a good party, and you would usually see me bringing wine and cheese or mini pizzas!!! So pull up a chair and have a look around…..or better yet dance around, I have just put on an album by `The Fray`!
Oh and if you are into cocktails, here is my favourite. I don`t think it is an original recipe but a bartender in Thailand taught me how to make it!
You need a blender, white rum, dark rum, cointreau, pineapple juice and some grenadine (Orange curacao also adds a nice flavour!)! Mix it all together, and wah lah, you have a beautiful fresh tasting cocktail….Yummy! Do be careful though, they may taste like juice but they are super strong!

I like the buzz of the crowd one experiences at that temple!
And one cocktail please :).
Great cocktail idea sounds like fun! Conrgrats on the engagement. Welcome to the party!
Cocktail idea sounds great. Congrats on the engagement and good luck with all of your traveling.
I love that photo Lulu, it’s gorgeous. I didn’t realise you were a Brizzy girl - I’m out in the western suburbs, Kenmore way… where were you originally?
Tokyo would be such a fun place to live. I have never been there, but hope to some day. Congratulations on your engagment and good luck!
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!
The blog party is such a great way to find new blogs. I will check back soon!
HI! Thanks for stopping by my blog for the party!! I love this picture! What an exciting life to be living in another country. Good luck with your moving back and forth… and congratulations on your engagement!
I may have to go to Tokyo to see you just to get a sip of that heavenly sounding cocktail.
Yum!!
I just realised, if you’re 23… and I’m 23… and we both went to highschool in Brizzy… we could have played sports against each other or competed against each other in competitions and stuff. Did you ever do any music, dance, singing, or Wed/Fri afternoon sport? Too weird…
Do you mind if I pop you on my blog roll? I’m finding I have to keep clicking back through to you through my comments and it’s getting annoying
gorgeous photos Lulu and thanks for your comments
I don’t like to to upset or inflame people with asthma so i will comment here. I have heard it to be true that the increase in allergies etc and health issues is due to the reduction in breastfeeding.I am not expert but the Lactation consultant I saw in hospital said it to me too.
I guess we do what we can with in our beliefs and what we learn along the way.
Hope you have a great party
I hope you have a great time back in Australia and good luck on your marriage.
Beautiful ♥
thanks for visiting me

I am on Facebook - add me if you want
I played netball mainly, and I was in a few choirs and productions like that. Even if we didn’t cross paths, we probably shopped at the same spots in the city and ate in the same restaurants and cafes
I like it that you’re a teacher, love coctails and I too am a writer. Nice to meet you.
Come by my place (here: Me and M&M) and see my one “picture.” Shouldn’t take long, but if ya wanna stay, I’ll get ya a cup’a joe or someth’n-someth-n. We’ll hang out.
*huggies with antibacterial wipies* what. it’s cold season ya know.
Hi, another visitor by way of the Blog Party here - a fellow Aussie. Hi to Trish too - always good to see a familiar face at a party
Hi, fascinating blog you have here! I’m looking forward to reading more.
Happy blog partying!
I popped over from Writing My Life’s Thursday 13. Very cool that you’re living in Japan. I have a special place in my circle of friends for those that can just pick up and move to a different country. I’m just in awe of them. I look forward to reading more of your journey.
Thanks to everyone for stopping by! My week got hectic and I didn`t get to participate in the blog party as much as I would of liked!!!
Some of you I know already, and some I have just met via the blog party, I look forward to taking the time to check out your blogs properly!!!!
Thanks again!
Thanks the comment on my blog! That photo is beautiful, it must be so interesting living there. That drink sounds really yummy too.
