The Taxnus

Few things are cuter than this little creature. Thanks Magnus for sharing :)

Just look at the little tail, the little nose, the cute little smile on his face... and the ears.. and... Aaaaaaron wants a dog!

Dinner at Japanese Place down the street




Glögg

Glögg afternoon at Emelie's place. First we had to go to Nissin to score some Glögg and talk to a shop attendant that spoke a few Swedish words :). And Emelie had made Lussekatter.... oshikatta!!

Below E's balcony.

Playing with Mathias

Last minute photo, since I forgot to take a photo from the start... I ordered Pizza in Japanese for the first time in my life, which was pretty cool, and the pizza was all right.

M - Bond (e)

I was invited to come along to Bond premier together with dear Itoko.

Please note how well my nail polish goes with the golden envelope.

The Roppongi Spider in christmas setting.

And then dinner at L-Atelier de Joel Robuchon ... you can google it yourself if you want to find out how fancy it is...

Yes, the movie was rather boring... I almost fell asleep ... I will blame the wine and the jet lag though... off to bed am I...

Pirate indoor shoes

A poorly hidden, very spontanious exaltation from Daniel, made my mum promise to make him a pair of his own.

Aron on the Green Chair

Cleaning paws after killing toy animals.

Det var så jävla kallt




Too cold to be on the balcony so I and Aron made scone instead.

2 1/2 Cats

First of all, I might need to apologise to Tati... Aron killed the birthday gift....







...but had very fun doing so.

There are times when you can only take the next step.

And then another.

A bit weird story but very interesting observations and descriptions of environments. The main character bought a pair of shoes at Parco in Shibuya... 8 min walk from my flat.

The Brunchnus

Magnus took me to a very cozy brunch place in Malmö, and then dropped me and my stuff off at the station. Tasty food and interesting conversation.



Snus

I tried again... but I'm not at all convinced.

Costumer Service

Why is it that it feels like shopping in Sweden is something you just want to get over and done with, and not a pleasant past-time activity?

I wonder if stores would gain from being more polite and tend to the customers' needs? In Tokyo it is normal curtesy that you are greeted by the door, that they tell you just to call them if you need any help, that they ask you if you want to try on things, even if it is quite obvious that you are not going to buy it. This is common at both cheaper and a bit more expensive stores. They make shopping in to a complete experience, from that you step foot in the store, until you are outside again; with or without a bought item.

Even at posh places like Dolce&Gabbana they will ask you what you like, if you want to try it on, just to see; even if come there dressed in GAP clothes. At Tiffany's they let you try on 30000 SEK rings just for fun, and don't even get me started when it comes to the service a restaurants.

A breed of super cats

Dear counsel of Science financing. We are looking for sponsors to our project of genetical manipulating Siamese cats into having opposable thumbs. The holocaust would never have taken place if German was ruled by cats; possibly if Jews were furry toy animals, but other than that; no.



For breakfast we had tea, scones and discussions about superiourity of Oriental and Siamese cats.

Byggfusk

Vid inspektion av mitt/daniels kök upptäcktes detta misstag. Byggfusket sprider sig allt längre ner i åldrarna (i åldrarna = mot golvet).



Snowing me, Snowing you...



Bengtsson's Ost

The fish was quite dry, they forgot to bring in the bread rolls and we had to wait pretty long to pay.



More Snow

Okay, I kind of feel sorry for my Japanese friends that left today and missed the white crap falling from the sky... however, I feel sorry for myself too having to walk around in this, and to sit on a stupid train and wait forever... or at least 15 minutes.



Snow in Malmö

Taking a walk down the shopping street while waiting for my appointment at the beauty parlour. I might have done some impulse shopping at the Tiger store; a new suit (grey). It is so lovely to find sizes that fits me.

Ice Baby

Walking along the ice road, on the way to the office. Snow and ice...Tokyo has it's ups...
