Sea Paradise

Rumours about a fun roller coaster brought us there; me and 2xmatt/hias. I'm not really sure that we found the right place but this was a cool place with a lovely futuristic nostalgic feel to it. But first proper lunch at Tratoria (drink, starter, main, desert and coffee 1850yen, sweet stuff I tell you).

Paying at the counter, I think Mathias took this photo of me.

The roller coaster from the driverless train... very 1960's.

Hmm... there is something with steal structures that just does it for me.... gay or engineer? you be the judge!

Okay, 107m free fall is quite high... should we or should we not go on the ride? I was convinced from the start that it was what I needed. I just love the feeling that rushes through my body. But I played along, the others wanted to take a beer before, to think about it...

Erlö said from the very start, he was not going up there, Mathias seemed a bit more insecure, but said no in the end... so I had to do it on me own, together with pre-teen girls... Erlö got some nice photage from the event, which I hope to get later... (he is still withholding some nice ones from christmas eve too...)

Red Baron air planes... very PC...

And this is where the young generation is trained appreciate the gambling and the noise, Pachinko playgound aka sega game center.

Cool but the real thing yesterday was better...

Pretty, pretty lights...

Yes, and then when we were walking back I heard them, the Flamingos... they are the best, pink and decorative... but not so easy to get a good photo of while dusk set in...

The whole evening was rounded off at Zest in Ebisu. I had fish burger and nice tequila... and then a very looooong walk to Roppongi, asabujuban, before coming back to Hiro and Ebisu again...

Grand Tourismo

Bathroom Playing

I have a messy bathroom but it still look good. The turquoise bra and the pink "lick me all over" t-shirt thrown on the green rug just works wonderfully.  And the belt I bought second hand in Ooimachi 4 years ago, partly down on the floor... It was not arranged this way... I throw things in style :).

 



Today in Short

Brunch in Hiroo with da Jepster, then walking trough a park and through nice residential area to Roppongi hills and Moritower. First time up in moritower... i thought.. until I realised that I had been up at Mado Lounge dancing crazy before... (while slightly intoxicated on a blackbox-off night) several months ago. 

The sky deck was absolutely fabulous, light winds, brilliant view, mountain air, lovely winter sun playing in my face, and a Mathias by my side :) 

Then going back to Ebisu, and Shinagawa. Meeting up with my Akiko-chan and going to her flat in Aomoriyokocho (or at least I think that is what it is called). Had tea, good conversations and kotatsu cosiness at her place. 

Unfortunately for both you and me, I forgot the camera at home and the battery was all run out on me phone. From now on I promise to keep a back up battery in my purse... even though it is soooo not my girl project...

Japanese Dinner at Matsugen.

The restaurant is called Matsugen and have lovely Japanese food. Suwai-gani (snow crab) salad for starter. 


Then yasai tempura, hata-hata and finally 2500 yen maguro (tuna) that simply melted in my mouth... And Champagne for desert... yes and also nihon shuu in a box. I tried to spy on the people next to us to figure out if you are supposed to drink the last "spill over" from the box or pour that back in the glass; this is yet to be found out.

5 knappar, 1 tillslag och taktkänsla


Man kan fan göra upp eld med det. scoutläger stuff.

Swedish Candy



Nenga

I have written my frist Nenga (new year's postcard). I got support from Aki-chan and Miho. I managed to write a few of the kanjis "safe" (the right stroke order), others I heard "no no no" from Miho-sensei ;). 



Santa at the office



Funabashi IKEA

We have been to IKEA to buy some Christmas feeling. It was fun, the children not as noise as at Bulltofta, and people less fat, but other than that pretty much the same. Me and Mathias even had to sit down halfway through, because we got soooo tired... Erlö was da super shopper.

Two boys, one mission! Christmas!

Well you tell me...



Hey there Mr Shinoist! Merry Fuckin' Christmas!

Now I've heard that in Japan,
Everyone just lives in sin.
They pray to several gods,
And put needles in their skin.

On December 25th,
All they do is eat a cake.
And that is why I go to Japan,
And walk around and say...

HEY THERE, mister Shintoist!
Merry Fuckin' Christmas!
God is gonna kick your ass,
You infidelic pagan scum!

Okay, we're getting into that Christmas spirit weather you want it or not!

And the Soup shall set you free



Is this cyber enough for you?

Video conferencing träms-style... Shibuya is the center of the cyber world.


Well spent Saturday

First we went to Suidobashi for a ride with Thunder Dolphin. Then we tried the umbrella thingy too... not so scary... I brought the good lens as you can see.

Mathias looking good as usual... or at least when he does not know that he is being photographed.

Then Roppongi, and viewing of Christmas lighting.

Yes, Tokyo Tower was there as usual.

Coffee at Starbucks while waiting for the movie to start. And someone had stolen the chairs to our table.

Me, doing the Japanese thing.

The Day the Earth Stood Still, was not so fun, but premier screen and Champagne is always nice. And then dinner and 2 episodes of Six Feet Under...

Neon Bride

I stole this photo from Andreas at facebook, and it seems like her name is Linnea and that she's just got married. She has a Hepburnistic beauty over her, and I hope she will let me know if she doesn't want to be blogged this way.

I might have played with the colours some... but she was super cool to start with...
