Non stop

Wow .. so tired.. been doing to much stuff this days.

It started with Disney sea at Friday. At the evening did we Swedish want to celebrate our tradition "midsummer" with good food and drinks. With a weak headache did I go to Harajuku the day after. Shopping day with Nathalie, Matias and Elvira. Tho, I didn’t buy anything, I wanted so much that I had to make up a plan about stuff I allowed me to buy. While Elvira went home did I ,Mattias and Nathalie go for a "out the whole night". Japanese trains stops around 12 and starts 6 at the morning, why? it's a really good question. I where so tired at 3. We suddenly find the "bunny man" ( will soon write about the "Bunny man") and when the sun went up, I suddenly got full of energy.

We decided to go and buy a top hat I wanted, but we gave up when the store haven’t open up at 10. Nathalie and Mattias where so tired and my feet where killing me. Home, fast shower, bed...

1 hoer later. Cant sleep, no problem to sit up. I so want to buy the stuff I wanted. Making me ready and went back to Harajuku. Took some hours and went happy home. Never feelt that happy just because of stuff, but I really wanted a top hat for so long! Cleaned the room and about 1 o’clock at the night I had to study for the next days test.

I really started to feel tired by then..

So after school at the Monday and today have been power napping. Will take some time until I get back the normal energy, i think.

New cut hair

Yeas! At last! I have cut my hair! :D
I don't really get why I waited so long to get it cut. It was so worth 3600yen.

First got to talk with the one who's going to cut my hair but bemuse of the my bad Japanese we mostly exchanged small words and looked at pictures. When I got her to understand how I wanted the hair where I taken to shower it. A really good massage for both head and neck, cutting, a bit styling and then done.

I didn’t really get the system they had. If you paid more, you cud get a better hairdresser? I paid 600yen for one step better.


I thinks’ hard to get the hairdresser to cut the hair as I wand, and it just got harder when we don't speak the same languish. I got a bit shorter then I wanted, but I guess it's going to be nice when the weather is so hot.

Got a short walk in Harajuku with Natalie that joined me for a haircut. I bought some shoes just in time before Disney Sea tomorrow. My other shoes is broken.

I won't put up at picture on the new cut hair, it's so hot outside, so when I got home I just run for a shower.

Study break?

woops..

Suddenly forgot that I where practicing Kanji on my mini whiteboard..

Life on the floor..

Planned to do this colourfull, oh well..
Done with ink

I really need to get a table and a chair. I can't work at the floor. It works for a while, but sooner or later some parts of the body starts to hurts (often the legs). Always ending with; I'm trying to find a good way to sit on every minute, hard to get any project done. Darn Swedish body..

I don't get how Japanese people can sit on their legs for so long time. I.. kinda make 2 minuts.

I would like to try draw city pictures, but, at this time I can just do character designs. Need a ruler. Nagging me that I have so many home in Sweden and no one in Japan

Taking some time

Going to take some while to write becuse I'm trying to maka a japanese version of the blog. I'm not s good at japanese but that's the reason to why I'm doing it. It will be a good study wey for me.　

Dislike sundays

Wha, already Sunday?

I think i need to keep the facemask on for a while. I like them more at the winter when it's cold, under summer time it gets to hot with. So nice, sleep so good this night, haven't got a normal sleep on 2 weeks.

Even if they showed cartoons all they day long on the TV do I feel bored. I want to go out and do stuff with friends.

The trip to Gifu is now cancelled, it will be essayer to stay in Tokyo and study. A little bit sad but at the same time lucky, I cant see the life of the country side but I can be with all my friends I have in Tokyo. Ma by sometime I can go to Gifu for a vacation.

So, now I’m going to read some comics and try to study the rest of the day.

Mini comics

Cute, don't you agree? I went to Osaka because of the big earthquake. Last night, after been in Osaka in 3 weeks, it got a little bit chaotic. My travel buddy had been talking about an pub the whole trip. It felt wrong to not let him go there ad it where so cold that we couldn’t stay outside. The problem was the backpacking. We wouldn’t have enough time to go to the pub and then back in time for the night bus. The pub sounded very small to so we wouldn’t even get in with it. I told him it where ok if I went to a close cafe while he went to the pub, and so we did. When the cafe personal started to close down so I started to make me ready to go. Worried that my friend wouldn’t get there in time, but when I stood up I saw him standing outside, smoking. He had told about me for the bartender and suddenly gave me small comic books. "A present for the artist"

They are so old that I don't dare to have it outside the plastic pocket. It feels like a part of the Japanese "history" in my hands, fells warm inside when I hold them, got so happy.

"sockerkaka" in the ricecooker!

So happy! I don't know where, by who or how I got this idea, but I where 100% sure it would work. I made a "sugar cake". It's very common cookie in Sweden and really easy. Just the same as a big muffin and bottom of a cake. Went down to the kitchen and experimented a bit. 40 minutes later I got this lovely from the rice cooker. Soft and sweet. Got much compliment by it from the others in the guesthouse, made me so happy.

When It’s my 21 birthday I'm so gonna make my own a cake.

Room cleaned!

My room is clean! woh!

So, this is how I live, everything I do, is on the floor. My futon is outside while I cleaned the floor. I spend so much time on the bed so it has to get outside sometimes, airing of the bed, at least 1 time in a week.

Not much in my room to see. I want to move to an apartment so I guess that's why I haven't filled the room with stuff.

This is a common way to live because many just need a room to sleep in. Depending on how much you are willing to pay, the better room your get. You share kitchen and bathroom with the others in the guesthouse. The guesthouse is often over 100 persons in one, but there are some small ones to, like mine, we are 12.

I live in centre of Shinjuku witch making the bill a bit higher then others guesthouse outside the cities. Tho, I don't pay anything for the trip to school, I walk. I been living in a guest house since I come to Japan, and it's starting to nag me a bit. I want my totally own place to live in there I make the most of the rules, so searching around for something with an worthy price.

Apartments in Japan are often just 1 room and toilet. There are some apartments with the kitchen and bedroom separated, I want one of those. Of some reason it feels horrible for me to have the kitchen and bedroom in the same room.

Whaa, my old blog got to confusing. So, while I made a new I got the idea to put up an English version to.


Lying on my futon and hoping that my pain in the froth would disappear. Soon been hurting in 2 weeks, can't speak so good. Really want to join my classmates when they do stuff, but .. I need to stay home and rest. It's not a good idea to join in stuff like Karaoke.

Karaoke is really popular. Where ever you go you will find a karaoke place. There are so many different styles in the karaoke places, everything from snobby modern places to small local places in traditional style. Most common is to buy a little room for some hoers.

The clip I put in the blog is a good example on how it often is. Tho, I have never seen a scene in the kareoke room. The places I been in where so small that it just got room to sit around a table with a big TV screen in front.
