I've been tagged for the 1st time!

Thanks to Eli at I spy, Thrift Eye I've been tagged for the 1st time. It is a kinda long tag though...so be warned!

8 things I am passionate about:

1. Tokyo and Japan in general. I am passionate about all parts of Japanese culture, the people, the crazy fashion, the language, the landscape, the city, the history and even the racism. I feel that I learnt so much from my year there, but there is still so much more to learn.
   
2. Family, this is obvious, but I love my Husband, my mum, my sister and my dog so much, and appreciate them a lot more now after living away from them all in Japan.
   
3. Thrifitng (op shopping in Australian English) Savers is my life right now! I am wearing only op shopped items right now, so without thrifting I could possible be naked right now!
   
4. Fashion- I have always loved fashion, just ask my mother.
   
5. Magazines- I buy way too many which I have posted about.
   
6. Home decorating- I love interiors just as much as I love fashion. I guess its all about being creative.
   
7. Travel. I am passionate about learning about all of the worlds cultures...lucky for me I live in a big multicultural city where I can walk down the street and hear maybe 20 different languages and try just as many different foods....but I still need to travel.
   
8. Art.

8 Things I want to do before I die:

1. I want to move back to Tokyo, Japan. I am not sure if I want it to be forever or for a few years though because
2. I want to live in London for at least a year.
3. Learn to speak fluent Japanese (I am slowly getting there...very slowly)
4. Open a shop (I am not sure if I want to do this in Japan, the UK or in Australia...right now it looks like it could be in Japan in 3 years time with a good friend).
5. Travel the world as much as possible. (I'm onto a good start having been to the UK, New York, Tokyo, Tahiti and all over Australia)
6. I want to loose some weight (I lost it in Japan but have put it all back on again!)
7. Have children with Henry. I want 2, I already have names.
8. Have a pedicure!!! (I've never had one)

8 Things I say often:

1. "In Japan..........."
2. "In Tokyo.........."
3. "Thats so random"
4. "Kawaii"
5. "Hachiko stop" (to my dog)
   
6. "Henry can you get me......."
7. "I don't want to go to work"
8. "I miss Tokyo"

8 Books I have read Lately:
