Salut din nou! multumesc ca mi-ai dat reply la mesajele de pe twitter.:) Deci..am vazut in urma cu cateva zile postul tau despre calatoria in Japonia , si m-a impresionat. Si eu intentionez sa merg , si chiar vroiam sa gasesc pe cineva care a mai fost si poate sa-mi dea sfaturi sau detalii. As vrea sa merg chiar anul acesta, si vreau ceva cat mai ieftin, ceva cat mai realizabil avand in vedere ca trebuie sa muncesc cateva luni special pentru asta. Ce imi poti recomanda?:D

could we please continue in english? just in case some of my other readers may find this useful.
i understand that you would like it to be affordable, but i need more details: what you like, how long should the trip be, what you intend to visit, etc.
Mayuki says:
Jan 16, 2013
Ok. well ..I’d like to stay at least 2 weeks, or even more..I don’t intend to visit something specifically, i want to spend some time there and meet some of my japanese friends. I’m really desperated to go this year, that’s why i need the most cheaply option. And now.. the problem is that i need an attendant(over 18 years old) and i thought of a group trip , but all the trips i found organized by tourism agency are too expensive for me. I don’t know how to manage the things to find a good solution to accomplish it. I truly need help.
little aesthete says:
Jan 16, 2013
you still haven’t helped much with the specifics :) but i can tell you that a cheap air ticket will cost you around 600 euro (but you need to watch out for the best deals). if you stick to tokyo, the transport, meals and attractions will not cost you any more than they would in western europe. and there are hotels that will cost about 30 euro per night.
it’s great if you want to stay for a longer period. i think it makes sense, once you pay a considerable amount for the flight. don’t worry about getting bored: there is no chance!
soon, i will start posting about japan (per city, tops, various other topics). i hope you will like the posts and find them useful. also, i often post links about japan on my micul estet fan page on facebook. like it to get the updates :)
in conclusion, i can help you with planning the cheapest trip possible, but i cannot help with the chaperon part :)
Mayuki says:
Jan 16, 2013
Thank you . I’m very grateful to know that you can help me planning it.:) We have to keep in touch then.:D I found cheap plane ticket on fly-go.ro ..it costs around 500-600 euro, the best offer so far. And also I found cheap hostels ..and if you say that the other things wouldn’t cost me more that in europe then I almost organized a cheap trip to japan.I’m planning to go as soon as I raise the amount I need, it would be perfect in august or september. Although the fact that I don’t know who can I go with still stays in my way.
little aesthete says:
Jan 16, 2013
500-600! that’s a great price! with which air company?
Mayuki says:
Jan 16, 2013
It was Aeroflot. It’s the only cheap ticket I found. But I’m worried that I won’t find any other at this price on summer.
little aesthete says:
Jan 16, 2013
i’m going in may-june. i advise that you buy the ticket asap :)
Mayuki says:
Jan 16, 2013
you’re going too?:D i don’t have money yet, i have to wait until summer to buy it. :( in tokyo are you going?
little aesthete says:
Jan 16, 2013
2 or 3 weeks in tokyo and 1 week around the country with the japan rail pass. can’t wait! :)
Mayuki says:
Jan 16, 2013
wow! that’s great! :)
little aesthete says:
Jan 17, 2013
i’m pretty excited :)
Mayuki says:
Jan 17, 2013
but how do you go? i mean.. by your own ? or do someone attend you?
little aesthete says:
Jan 17, 2013
haha! i’m old enough to be able to go by myself :D

Hi! So glad I randomly found your blog from one of your comments on The Sartorialist! Your space here has a very cool and eclectic vibe. See you around I hope ;)
little aesthete says:

Mayuki says:
Jan 18, 2013
well..i should also wait to grow up..and then i would be able to trip anywhere i’d like without any problem..but the reason i want to go to japan now is more special ,so i can’t wait anymore. :)

Hello Mayuki and Little Aesthete,
I’m going with 2 friends in Japan from 28 April to 23 May. We found tickets on Alitalia from Milan to Tokyo at 470 euros. We started to plan the trip and maybe we can share impressions, tips, plans, or even meet in Japan.
my email is tromeo@gmail.com

hey!
cool price :)
so far, i don’t know exactly the dates of my trip but i’m pretty sure at least some of it will overlap with yours.
keep in touch! :)

Oh I love this site! Like the reader above, found you through a random Sartorialist comment and was very taken by your URL. Love your whole aesthetic. Trop charmant, etc!
Appreciate your “let’s continue this convo in English for the sake of my readers” in the exchange above. Though I confess, I’m feeling very proud of myself for recognizing (and sort of understanding) the Romanian, thanks to an old ex! :)

I think you are not a ‘failed artist.’ Maybe a medium you tried didn’t seem to yield what you wanted from it (money, recognition, etc.) but your photos reveal a wonderful eye for composition and a humorous and compassionate nature. Your art is your life. No failure possible. ~april

thank you for the kind words. i’ll try again and hopefully fail better :)

Hello Andreea. I enjoy your pages very much, you’ve set up something very nice here. I got to your corner of the www because I’m into dandyism -and I thought the looks of Ruben Block could be described as dandyesque. Went looking for pictures, found your page. It’s a lovely collection of pretty things. I like your writing and your style and your style of writing. I got good input on here. Thank you very much. I think it’s great that you meet your readers for real in places where the ambience is just as nourishing as the food and drinks served. If you’re ever in Berlin, please let me know.
Have a good day and keep up this very pretty page.
JC
