finally

FINALLY a new update. I haven't had my camera for the past 5 days, but now it's back!


So, what has happened since then. Well, for starters, I have finally made some friends.
I met a very nice Chinese woman calle Ling, who lives here in Tokyo with her New Zealandic boyfriend. She LOVES food, so we went to a lot of food markets around tokyo, and went eating at a nice cafe/restaurant



We had a very nice day, and I am going to go visit hwe one of these days, to cook and talk and have a nice time :)

Furthermore, I have made contact with a guy from Oregon, who lives close to me. I have not met him yet, but I am going to go watch him and his band play a concert this thursday.

Lastly, I have made friends with a Japanese girl called Satomi, with whom I went to town the other night. Karaoke and beer and Japanese people. Very good times :) She was the one who ended up with my camera, and I didnt meet her again until today, which is why this update is so late.


I have aquired myself a phone, finally!

As for the jobhunting, I am still searching furiously. Well, not furiously, but I'm searching. I'm am gonna give it until the end of next week before I start panicking.

Apart from these things, life is good. Japan is treating me nicely, and Spring is already showing its refreshing and heartwarming face. today we had 15 degres, and lots'o sun, so I went for a long walk trough Tokyo, and tried something DELICIOUS! I don't know how I have ever been able to eat anything else.
Crepes with cheesecake, white chocolate, whipped cream and strawberries.
SO, FRIGGIN, GOOOOOOOD. I am going back for more tomorrow. And they have like 50 different flavors to go with the cheesecake-crepe. Only in Japan.

I went and visited a 6-story KiddyLand (japanese toy's'r'u's), just to see what kind of madness I would find in a japanese toy-store. And madness I found. So much noise and so many bright flashy colours, I swear, if I was epileptic I wouldn't have survuved more than 5 minutes.
Funny thing is, there were more adults and teenagers (young teenagers, but teenagers nonetheless), than actual kids. Says something about the country, amirite?
I stumbled upon a pculiar fella, who goes by the name BANAO.
Of course I had to buy him and bring him home. What else than a banana with a face (actually 2. He "peels" using zippers, to show another smug face.) can be used to sum up Japan? Maybe pikachu, but he's soooooooo 1995-2009andmaybeeven2010. BANAO. Because Bananas have personalities too. In Japan.

I have been studying the kanji as well, and I know know around 35ish. It's hard, but practise makes perfect. As for my spoken Japanese, well, I don't get to train it a lot, but I keep picking up words and sentences, and I try and use them when I get the chance, and feel confident that I am gonna get it right. Which isn't as often as one could hope.


Tha's it for now. I'm off to search the internets for more jobs.
