Back to japan! Lund is closer to japan then we tought! ;-)
And here we are learning how to make a swan out of glas :)
It has begun! :) bea is ready!
Siri is visiting from Stockholm :) and we are off to Bea's hen party! :)
TGI FRIDAY :)
Home sweet home ;)
Time to leave for home (for Ola now 'hemhem') :( :)
The cues to buy the latest released photo or CD are never short!
Fan club phenomenon!
Beautiful day outside. The rain reason is officially over! The view from the apartment :)
In case of earthquake all the employees at Ola's new office have to wear specially assigned helmets describing their position in the company. So let's hope it doesn't say sucker on this one ;)
Birthday cake suprise for Ola :)the lights went off, the waitress sang and the cake tasted almost like at home ;)
Dinner at a thai place with swedes :)
Housewives in the city! ;)
The staff at the residence got me an appointment at fancy bridal shop Pronovias. With Helena as a side kick, i am trying out beautiful wedding dresses! :)
Today is Ola's first day at work and his b-day!!! Exciting day ahead! :-):-D
Harajuku with some excentric fashion statements! But mostly totally overcrowded with small Japanese girls fighting over the last pieces of clothing on the sale! Crazy!
Well, we had to test the loud and crazy pachinko machines. Kind of meaningless but the cultural shock is worth going into these gaming halls.
Smart city parking!
Houston we got a lift off! The washing machine doesn't only have the same amount of buttons as a space shuttle but it is blinking and sounding like one too!
Japanese are not the least fond of tattoos! People with tattoos are usually the ones connected to the organised crime and that should everyone take a stand from. In our building they have moved the limits a bit for the majority of foreigners, now only big tattos are not allowed in the gym and spa. But how big is big?
... or not ;)
Feels like shopping at Nova :) Tempur, Cafe Denmark, Georg Jensen...scandinavians are not far from home!
Sightseeing cont. Heading for the temple, however watching people has been more fun! Check out the guy on the right! Goofy people all over the place!
You choose your meal, buy a ticket for it and hand it in the tiny restaurant :). Japanese fast food!
Typical lunch in one of the side streets in Asakusa.
Boat cruise around Tokyo bay.
Saturday in Tokyo...less people on the train and no suits as far as the eye can see.
Perfectly understandable! Aaaa...well, sometimes you just got to take that that chance with the train! :)
We have been expecting it for some time. Today it arrived, healthy and 150 grams! We skipped 'owning a pet together' phase and went on straight for 'getting a camera together' phase. Grown up points here! Ha ha ha
After five days of almost strict sushi, matzusushi and tempura diet Ola had to hunt down some meet! Big steak, US style!
Small earthquakes everyday. Nothing noticable, except for the subway lines being affected.
Afternoon chai
It is a tricky thing finding a proper grossery shop in Tokyo, and now we have! Still very japanese, you can never get enough of rice noodles!
Finally a sunny day!
House warming party at Ola's residence! Helena, Daniel and Andreas are SEMC people.
Where are two engineers to end up if not in Akihabara the electronics city ;)
Dagens!
Ready for some shoping and sightseeing :)
And SPA! This is definitely the way to spend early jet lag hours!
A good start of the day, the gym at the 24th floor.
View from the apartment, by night...
Shibuya by night. And we are hunting food after well deserved sleep!
And yes, your toilet seat will sing for you, covering any embarrasing noises ;)
Talk about tidy! Everything here is in perfect order!
Ola's new place! Very IKEA meets Japan ;)
Cloudy morning at Narita airport.
Some of the topics that will occupy our minds for the coming year :)
On my way to Tokyo, via smelly, hot Frankfurt airport!
