Funadventures in the south part 1: Mang'azur convention, bring the feels back!

Hello everyone! Bonjour-nassyi!(ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Sorry the title of the article is so long! I wanted to make only one about my stay in the south but it went differently in the making x')... So it'll be in two part!

During spring break, I visited my grand parents and my friends who live in the south of France, in Toulon. I used to live there (during 14 years), before moving to Blois 5 years ago, and then to my current town near Paris.

Arrived at the train station! It's so sunny and warm!

It felt really weird coming back after 5 years, so many things have changed in my life, and I couldn't believe I was back, I felt quite dizzy the first two days... That's also the reason I didn't take many pictures of the city sorry.

Toulon is the red dot obviously

The sea *^*

I arrived on friday and, I'd planned to go to Mang'azur on saturday and sunday! Mang'azur (or MA) is a Japanese culture event organized by the AFJ association (Amitié Franco-Japonaise) of Toulon. This year was the 10th anniversary of the convention. I used to go every year with my friends or/and family since the first edition ^^! The last time I attended, in 2010, I was selling my sewing stuff and had my very first fashion show °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°!

We had lunch before the convention ^^

On saturday I went with my friend Natsu-chan, you might remember her if you read my articles this summer here and here ! Some of the pictures are hers ^^. We used to cosplay or dress in gothic lolita but we were not into it this time so I left my petticoats at home and wore something otome, and Natsu went for muggle style ^^. She introduced me to her friend Marion, another Japanese culture lover, and we headed to the convention's venue. The waiting line was insanely long x). And that's when I started loosing it 8D. Soooo many cosplayers, back in the days, there weren't that many, but now.... It made me even more excited 8D!
The inside was as usual, a bit less decorated than it used to be, but manga, karaoke, goodies, cosplays, video games, maid café, haunted house, animations,... nothing was missing.

Natsu and I! All my friends are so tall please stop 8D

I need an owl bentô in my life you know why

A stall was selling dragon eggs *^*

Most of the plushes sold in here were replicas but they were still cute! I'd love more Pokémon ones!

All my money went in stuff like this x), and I regret not knowing Haikyuu at this time...

Goals for the week end: taking pictures with cosplayers, buy anime goods.
I managed to get both but I would have loved a selfie with Kaneki x'), maybe at Japan Expo this summer !
I'm in a good mood so here have a ridiculous picture of me from Mang'azur 2009

Trust me you don't wanna see the socks 8D

Then we had a pic nic on the beach *^*! We went to l'Almanarre, the beach that was close to my high school. I wanna go back there someday during school time so I can see my former teachers (and also tell the current students in chemistry that they're fucked, there's no job x')...).
Here have some very old pictures (well ok 2008):

Us in High school (she was studying at another one though but she got in sneakily on that day lol)

Yep we could see the sea from the school as it's up on the hill! Palm trees and such, I miss those a bit to be honest x)

We're back to the pic nic now! With Fufu obviously!

Natsu setting things up huhu !

Yeah that's how I look sometimes when I take Fufu in pictures x)

Too bad the weather was not as good as the day before ;^;

The sausage is alsmost as big as him 8D

 

  

 

Natsu had prepared a nice playlist of songs we used to listen (quite) a LOT when we were younger, so it brought back some feels and we laughed a lot x) We still know the lyrics of some songs, even after 10 years 8D! Some of the songs were:

_NEWS - Summer Times
_Asian Kung Fu generation - Rewrite
_Utada Hikaru - Hikari Kingdom Heart planitb remix
_Flow - Go!! (Fighting dreamers)
_KAT-TUN - Lips

I can't believe I couldn't find Seishun amigo and most of the song from the playlist, on the internet, what is my life anymore, Nobuta wo produce was my favorite drama ever, I watched it countless times x). That explains my nickname obvioulsy ｡^‿^｡.
And we sang happily on the way back home. Next article will be about my day with Tiya choue, and how she got me into Haikyû huhuhu ~(⁰▿⁰)~

Bisous-nassyi! ( ˘ ³˘)♡

Nobu & Fufu
