Life

1. One of the many small streets in the middle of Kyoto filled with restaurants (and tattoo-stores, went there thinking about getting a tattoo)
2-4. Me, Eleanor and Wanda went to a sushibar after some shopping (hehe,he) where the sushi is served on a rolling hoop like yesterday. I completely love sushi. And it's so much fun trying new "flavors", I ended up with 7 plates. And a cake. Ouch.
5. My new necklace I bought today at one of my favorite stores

night falls

Today we went to the river to paint, this city is so beautiful and the weather still thinks it's summer. I bought a melon for 100 yen, which is about 8 kr. This is a major exception, all fruit is really expensive here. One apple is more than 3-4 apples in Sweden. Although they are huge!
In the afternoon we went to the center of town and found some new good shops with secondhand clothing, which is really hard to find. There are so many streets, so many people and so many expensive shops for.. old ladies or girls who love pink. I bought me a pare of sunglasses in an amazing store, and I so wanted to buy more but my student way of living wont let me. Although we decided to let ourselves go to a restaurant (for probably the first time since we came here) and eat sushi. It was a sushibar with a rolling hoop, with plates with different kinds of sushi. When you see one you want you just take it from the hoop and eat it. Then you pay 130 yen for each plate. I'm so going back next time I decide to spoil myself. You get tired of bananas, rice and egg after a while.

Thinkin of a way to get you to stay

This is my small room in our tiny apartment, Japanese style I guess. I hated it at first but managed to make it a bit more me. My latest bought is this small couch/table which is both beautiful and perfect for studying and skyping. Because even though I love living in my bed my mattress is quite(!) thin and hard, not very good for sitting on for some while. If your not very bodyliciuos maybe. Although i manage to sleep pretty well on it.

If I follow the light

1. Me and my new bike, 2-3. We went to the university roof top, where they have a garden and an amazing view to study Japanese. 4. A black ladybug liked Tanja's katakana. 5. Me on top of the billion stares to the university of art and design. 6. Our bicycle-parking next to school.

The weather today was sooo nice, sunny and about 25 degrees. In your face Sweden.

To move to Japan

Day 6
So it has begun. I'm sitting in my room, on my mattress-bed in our tiny apartment, with my new Japanese computer (that I have to guess my way through). In Kyoto.
This country is magical, I don't even know where to begin, the crosswalk even sounds like birds singing when they turn green, telling you in a discreet way that it's ok to cross. Crazy.

I miss summer

Storm warning

Tiden bara springer förbi mig. Så mycket att göra och så lite tid. Jag ska ta körkort, lära mig ett språk, förbereda ett liv, och säga hejdå. Tick tack.

A long walk home

Idag är det köpt, den 28e september åker jag, för att stanna, till japan

Jag älskar att cykla när det är mörkt

Jag har fått tillbaka bilderna från balkan! Allt som någonsin försvunnit är återfunnet, återskapat. Emma har en teknisk pappa, för alltid tacksam. Min pappa är inte teknisk. Han har en videokamera. alltså, sommaren innan jag försvinner från Sverige kommer alltid finnas på band.

Swedish midsummer, Midsommar

Nu bär det av till Almö-Lindö med Emelie, peace

Där va vi förenade

Karameller och färgglada lampor
Det är varmare än varmt och min bild av sommaren 2010 blir bara bättre

My dear

Fredhäll för baderi

Mitt rum strålar för tillfället. Alldeles rent och nymöblerat. Nu fattas det bara en bukett blommor och en pojke. Köpte ett nytt soffbord för 150 kr, en fåtölj/stol för 100, en pall för 50 och en soffgrupp för 200. Kaperi shulululu. Dock har jag inte plats för det sistnämnda. Kanske förståeligt när man fortfarande bor hemma och lever på runt 11 kvadratmeter. Men fint är det! Snart har jag möbler för en hel lägenhet.
Ikväll bär det av till Västerås cityfestival. En någorlunda tråkig och färglös sådan, men det finns karuseller och godis. Och fina människor

I will leave a key for you outside my doorway

Studenten, check, arbetslöshet, check, enorm frihet, check.
Inte ett moln på himlen
