Cats of Moscow

Cats of Moscow
I’m back already! :totorosmile:
Originally I had planned to do three entries about Moscow, one for (almost) each day but there are so many pictures that I had to split them even more. Furthermore I just thought that the cats of Moscow deserve an own entry. If you ask yourself why, just look for yourself… :omnom:


This lively backyard was probably the cosiest place I’ve been in Moscow. A small cat empire in middle of a huge city. There were no other intruders except of us, a a sloppy and overprotective dog and some birds. But they seemed to respect each other and to get along together. Silvankun even started to play with the tiny ones that were obviously very curious. I think cats look different from country to country but these really impressed me. Some looked like small lions and they behaved so hierarchical! :bang:

*Nyaaa* do you see the tiny black cat in front of the big dog? so cuuute! The dog didn’t do anything…

The atmosphere in that backyard was truly special and I enjoyed very much to absorb some of it. It was the ideal place to relax for a while from all the traffic and rush that was going on outside that yard. At some point however, the overprotective dog started barking and lured out an old Russian Babushka who started shouting at us and kicked us out.

Kuroneko Bento

Hello Sunshines! :heartame:
How are you doing? Moscow is huge, pretty tough and honestly, I’m happy to come home tomorrow. Nevertheless I’m looking forward to sharing my experiences with you guys!
This is a quick and hearty Bento I made shortly before leaving for Moscow. I was lurking around on tumblr and came across some breathtaking pictures of Bento that were so inspiring that I just had to get up and do one myself.


There is no special reason why I chose this Bento box but I noticed that I had only used it once so I gave it a second chance. You’ve probably seen that most of my boxes are square and black and that I rarely use “cute” boxes although I really would like to! I just find it so much easier to choose the right colors and arrange them in a square box.. and a black background makes all the colors look much more vivid because of the contrast! An other reason is, that I want most of my Bento meals look traditional and using a traditionally shaped and colored boxes is very helpful for that.


I obviously love this Neko Bento box but because of the reasons I wrote above, I never really used it. Anyway, I will try to incorporate some of my never seen bento boxes in my future Bento meals! Hope you don’t mind… :omnom:
As you cans see, it’s a rather tasty Bento for a rather hungry person. Teriyaki chicken with Goma, wok vegetables and three little pickles in one tire and pimped up Tamagoyaki with some rocket and ketchup and two small Mediterranean skewers with Italian cheese, bell pepper and olives. I used rocket and parsley as decoration and to fill the gaps.

Hello Everyone! :jumpingrabbit:
How was your weekend? Did you eat a lot of eggs and chocolate? I spent three days in Lausanne (located in the French-speaking part of Switzerland) for the Polymanga convention. I didn’t eat a lot of chocolate nor eggs but had a great time taking pictures of many amazing cosplayers. :oh:
I made tons of pictures so it’s probably going to take a while to sort them out but I’ll upload some of the most stunning ones to nekoblog as soon as possible!
It was obviously the biggest convention I’ve ever been to but by far not the best one.. :crying:
I’m looking forward to the Jap Ani Manga Night that takes places in May however and to finally meet みほちゃん again~

にゃん~ *nyan* :nyan:

We left head over heels on friday afternoon and I forgot so many things I had planned to bring with me! Even if I had to send back the cosplay costume I had ordered because it had the totally wrong size, I had found some pieces to recreate the look of Serizawa Fumino from Mayoi Neko but I forgot the red skirt and the black stay-ups at home.. :ohno:

I can’t say too many good things about the Polymanga.. I had expected far more and was very disappointed that the program was rather slim. An other irritating thing were the prices and quality of the gadgets you could buy at the stands.. Here is what I managed to find among the enormous amount of carelessly piled stuff..

Not too bad eh? I love the silk belt! :happy:

The staff from Aoi Clothing was pretty nasty though.. He had sold it to me for too much money but I found out and went back! :totorosmile:

I can’t wait to fill this cute little box with yummy and pretty Onigiri! :twinkles:

The story behind this cute, triangle-shaped Onigiri Bento box is quite nice though..
I was looking at the beautiful and well chosen assortment of Bento boxes when I ‘overheard’ (or rather pricked up my ears when I heard the word “BENTO”) a conversation about what the boxes are for.. The lady was trying to explain it to a visitor but I thought that I picture might work better so I whipped out my smartphone.. and- well you probably know what comes next.

Cunning as I am I showed him the picture of my Easter Bunny Bento and when the lady saw it too, she was swept off her feet and showed the pictures to all her co-workers.
The next day I went and bought this cute box and the lady wanted to know the address of my blog and gave me discount on my box saying it was because she knew that it would be used properly. ありがとうございます~ :arigatou:
I will surely visit their shop Sérénité when I get the next chance to go to Lausanne!

Stay tuned for the cosplay picture loaded entry! It’s going to be pretty awesome, whether you like cosplay or not. :wink:
