[Photos]: Bento #2+3 + Questions!~  
Hidihoooo~


I bring you photos of 2 new bentos I made. Nothing special though~



Bento#2: 4 differently shaped Onigiri with sesame and fishmusclethingie filling <3, boiled egg, Japanese rice-snacks



I love my onigiri molds <3333 (some people might remember how much I sucked at making the triangular shape! ^^; .....)





Bento#3: Rice with Japanese omelette (ripped apart into small pieces) + sweet tofu bags (usually used for inarizushi, but they fell apart so I did this to them XD), makizushi, star-shaped onigiri with furikake + star-shaped cheese on it, cocktail tomatos with heart&star-shaped cheese ^^;;; ......



Not bento-related, but this was a Japanese noodle-salad I made (with soumen, canned tuna, mayo, cucumber and onions ^^ It was yummie! <3)


And I have some questions, especially to all of the Germans on my f-list, but also to people living in Europe ([livejournal.com profile] amvn might be able to help me here as well ^^;;;; ..):

I think I want to order some bento-related things. Now DON´T STOP READING if you´re not interested in bento, please! XDDD .. Especially all the Germans on my f-list!!! *puppy eyes*
The thing is: The last time I ordered stuff from OUTSIDE of Germany (via ebay and the likes) was 7 years (!!!!) ago and I can still remember clearly that I really had problems with the customs and had to pay TONS of moneyZ!
Ever since then I´m afraid of ordering stuff @ ebay and the likes outside of Germany.
So my question is for all Germans (& other EU people, cuz I guess it´s all the same?!): What EXACTLY are the rules? Stuff for how much money am I allowed to order without having to pay s.th. to the customs? Do ALL packages automatically land @ the customs or only the packages from USA??? I just want to avoid trouble and save money, so I´m really grateful for tips of any kind (and yes I´m a dork when it comes to these things ^^;;; ............... *sigh* *feels like an obaaaa-chan who does not know anything about the internets XDDDDD)
Is it better to order s.th. from a "private person" or an actual shop? I know that the customs allows 45€ from private to private ....

Also: (and this can now be ignored by people who are not interested in bento stuff): Although I´ve already checked out various FAQs, I still don´t know where I should buy my stuff. Any personal recs?
I think I´ll try out JBOX. I still am a bit afraid of ebay, although I have an account ever since errr ... it existed, I guess? XD .... And as far as I know you usually need a PayPal account, cuz most of them only accept this kind of payment, right???

Nya~ am thankful for tips! ^-^/


Bye~cha!~♪

OMG, ich will auch Onigirförmchen ;___; Aber Ebay <_< Ich habe schon ein paar Favoriten bei den Bento-Boxen... muss mich dann nur da für eine entscheiden. Das mit Sicherheit meine ich auch... vor allem Ebay,... ka... ich weis nicht aber ich bin mir da so unsicher und hoffe immer, dass mir einer was mitbestellen kann. ID
