Berlin: Baby Metal Concert, Video Game Museum & 60s Diner

Hey guys (^-^)v

during this year's sommer holidays, I spent some days in Berlin to attend the Baby Metal concert with a friend and to spend some time there with my mom and my boyfriend.
I always plan to take some pictures during concerts to share them with you, but I always end up not doing it because I want to enjoy every moment of it and decide to leave my phone in bag that I hand in at the cloakroom..

So again, I only have some pictures from the outside of the concert venue:

concert venue: Huxley's Neue Welt (named after Aldous Huxley's 'brave new world' I think)
lots of people although the doors were already opened when we arrived as we got a bit lost on the way x'D
 Have a derpy picture of us before the concert with Eric from Sylt who we met while searching for the event location x'D


The concert itself was really amazing and we had lots of fun! ♥



The next day my mom and my boyfriend came and we spent another 2 days in Berlin. My mom found an interessting hotel and we wanted to give it a try:


This was our 'room' x3
It's like camping but in a wooden hut. They are equipped with light and electricity but nothing else. For washing and going to the toilet, you have to go to a central house on the camping ground. It was really funny, but as summers in Germany are kinda unpredicatble, it was terribly cold although it was August...
It was great there and the staff was really friendly, so if you want to give it a try if you're coming to Berlin, this is their homepage:
  http://scubepark.berlin/

The next day, we went to the 60s diner for breakfast/early lunch.







They not only have really cool walls and mini music boxes at the tables, but also amazingly decorated washing rooms:

  
 

 Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good as we remembered it to be, so we might go somewhere else the next time..
In the Hotel, we found a brochure about a videogame museum located in Berlin and thought we had to go there.
On our way, we also found a museum dedicated to Berlin's speciality food 'Currywurst'.
They sold Currywurst plushies and Japanese brochures xD


But let's move on to the videogame museum ^-^



 Like a museum is supposed to, they have many exhibits showing the history and evolution of video games, e.j. computers with the first computer game and postcards with printed chessboards you could send to and fro between two parties to play chess over a long distance, but also lots of videogame consoles of course.



But the museum does not only have exponats to show you the evolution 

of video games, but you can also try them!
They have lots of old games you can try. For example a programm called 'Eliza', which was created in 1966. It is based on a simple writing programm, where you can type in a question and Eliza answers it ^-^ My boyfriend gave it try:

 

But the best part for me really was the arcade centre!

 

They had lots of games you could try ^-^
 It was the first game I could play Space Invaders as a real arcade game!

 
 

I even made it to the highscore list in Asteroids:
(6th place ^-^)

 

It was really fun to go there ^-^
You could even play Dance Dance Revolution or see one of the first arcade games ever: Pong. But unfortunately, you could not try this one out..

After spending several hours in the Videogame Museum, we wanted to grap something to eat and decided to go to the Japanese Crepe Restaurant Crepestation

   

We had a Matcha Latte, one crepe with strawberry cheesecake and one with chocolate icecream, cherries and peaches ♥

 

Last but not least, I want to show you a picture I took at a subway station. All walls where covered with pictures of famous inventers and their inventions, among them was Gyro Gearloose *-* (his German name is Daniel Düsentrieb)


  
And that's how our trip to Berlin came to an end.
I hope I can come back again soon as I really like this city.

Thank you for reading!
See you next time (^-^)v

girugamesh in Berlin ヽ( ★ω★)ノ♫

Hi there (^.^)v

it's been a while.. I hope you are all fine though ^.^
Last saturday my mom and I visited the girugamesh concert in Berlin.
Usually I go to concerts with friends or on my own, but when some
certain bands are here (like X Japan, Versailles (now Jupiter) or in this case
girugamesh) my mom wants to visit the concert, too
and I'm happy I can do such things with her ^.^
I decided to wear last times tour shirt:





By the way, I really liked my hairdo that day x3


It's not perfect now, but I will practise it more often now ^.^
We arrived pretty early in Berlin to avoid the traffic jams
and spend the day in the neighbourhood around the event location
sitting in shadowy places and eating icecream xD 
(it is really hot in germany at the moment x3)


Later that day I met my friends Riyoki and Kamiko again ♥
I don't see them often, so I'm happy if a concert takes place in Berlin
and I can meet them there ^.^


with Kamiko (^.^)v
 (somehow I look strange in this picture.. and my arm has a weird colour o.O)
Riyoki was already inside the hall at the VIP-event x3
and I just have to share her photo with ryo here, it's so cool *o*


I hope she is ok with me showing it here ^.^
I'm so happy for her she has such a cute pic with her
favourite band member ♥

The two of them (Riyoki and Kamiko) also were so cute to buy me 
a hoodie jacket at the concert in Aschaffenburg (or was it Munich? o.o)
So I didn't have to queue at merch stand before the concert
and could get a better place to see the stage *-*


Kamiko and I stood on the step on the left and could see really well ^.^
Riyoki was in the third row in front of the stage,
because she had prior entry because of the VIP ^.^
The concert itself was really great, too *-*
I just found it really short... but it was hot as hell inside the hall
so it was ok that they didn't play 2 hours or so.
Also the concert was sold out and all the place you can see
in the pic was totally occupied with people and so crowded o.o
But it's always worth it to see girugamesh live on stage ^.^

And here is my hoodie ♥

sorry for not wearing make up xD




That's it for now ^.^
I'm already exited for the next girugamesh tour *-*
see ya ♥

Ari travels: heidi. in Cologne // Purikura in Berlin // Highland Games in Peine

Hey guys (^.^)v

I'm so sorry it's been so long since my last post q.q 
actually I planned to blog on sunday, but then the charging cable
for my phone got missing and I couldn't get the photos I needed
to my computer and stuff q.q 
But now I have my cable back and finally managed to transmit the photos
and now I can show them to you ^.^

So first of all, I want to tell you a little about the heidi. concert last month in Cologne ^.^
heidi. is one of the bands I listen to for a long time now
and so I was super happy when they finally announced a Tour in Europe *-*
 But a few days before the concert, I cought a cold q.q
Nevertheless I went to Cologne that day with my friend Eiri, who was sick too..
but we still managed to arrive in time at the concert hall x3
This was my outfit for that day:

 I felt really bad that day and I think I even had a fever,
so we just headed for the back area of the hall and enjoyed our first concert sitting xD
Anyway it was still much fun and one of the best concerts I've ever visited ^.^
And I'm so happy to got this pretty towel at the merch stand:



Last saturday than I headed off to Berlin early in the morning to 
meet my friends Riyoki and Kamiko ^.^
It was my first time travelling the way with a bus.
It was much cheaper than going by train and even better than it.
I didn't have to change, having a seat was guaranteed
and they let me sleep the entire trip without waking me up to see my ticket!
I will definitely use the bus more often now ^.^

 
My lunch box that day ♥


When I arrived Riyoki and Kamiko picked me up at the station
and then we went to the J-Store to make some Purikura *-*
It was my first time doing this and it was really fun ^.^
I hope you like how the results turned out:








 
And finally we had some ice cream ♥
mine was pomegranate and 'kinder pingui' - soo delicious \(*Q*)/


And last but not least I also visited the Highland Gathering in Peine
with my mom and my boyfriend ^.^
I always wanted to see Highland Games in real live!
The events are 'Putting the stone', 'Tossing the caber' and 'Tug of war'.
We sadly missed the last event, because it was so cold and windy that day that
we decided to go home earlier to not catch another cold..
All the competing men were dressed in a kilt and most also wore redhead wigs x3

please click to enlarge ^.^
Tossing the caber
 But there we not just the Higland Games, there also were
many dance groups, pipers and you could by lots of food ^.^
I bought a bar of my favourite chocolate ♥
Usually you can't buy it in germany at an accteptable price, but this was ok x3


soo~ delicious ♥
so, now you know about the past few weeks
and tomorrow I will be off to Japanday in Düsseldorf ^.^
maybe we can meet there? ♥

bye bye for now (^.^)
