1. Barneys New York is opening its 4th store in Japan in Kobe! The Motomachi area is comparable to Tokyo's Ginza and Osaka's Shinsaibashi - full of designer labels and chic stores - and now Barneys will join the crowd.
2. H&M is to open their first store in outside Kanto - in Osaka's Shinsabashi. Woohoo! I can resume my pilgrimage to H&M :)
3. 2-day trip to Hiroshima (Atomic bomb site) and Miyajima (Itsukushima shrine) with Osaka University. Basically a repeat of the fantastic trip we had to Wakayama last month. 4,000yen for transport, accommodation, dinner and breakfast :D
4. Watching sumo tournament in Osaka for FREE! (It usually costs over 10,000yen a day) - thank you Monbukagakusho!
5. Sake distillery visit in January.
6. Spring break, Golden Week and the Summer holiday!
7. Returning to The University of Manchester Chorus
8. Cook and eat all day long when I move in with Afifah to the fancy kitchen of Victoria Hall on Higher Cambridge Street. Meryl Streep's Julie and Julia has been inspirational - I shall buy plenty of cookbooks and cook my way through final year.
9. Valentine's Day - not the day itself, I won't be surprised if I spend the day alone, again. I'm referring to the movie, starring a glittering cast that includes Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx, McDreamy and McSteamy.
10. The Royal Opera House, the West End, and concerts at The Bridgewater Hall.
11. Sam's possible relocation to Manchester. Don't know when or for how long though.
P.S. Things NOT to look forward to...
1. Dissertation
2. Graduate job hunting and/or postgraduate applications
