Tokyo again!

So, Kjers and I arrived in Tokyo yesterday morning, and spent most of the day spending money (well, I did anyway....).
We started off looking for manga translated to English but were scared off by the price, so we shopped a bunch of books instead. I found a Pride and Prejudice and zombies mix that I have been wanting to read for a while, cant wait to start reading that one!
We then went shopping some more, made a brief stop at a photo booth for some purikura (my first time, it was fun!) and then hurried back to the hostel to check in before meeting some friends of mine (from the last time I was here) for dinner and a lot of karaoke =) Really tired now, didnt get many hours of sleep last night...
Today we are meeting up with Satoko in Yoyogi-koen, should be fun, hope the rockabillies are there! Then we are going to the airport to meet up with Julia and Elsa, yeay!!
Now, time for food!

Kjers and Erika do Chino

So, Kjers arrived in Chino last Friday, picked her up after work at the train station. It's soooooo good to speak Swedish again after months and months of only English and attempts at Japanese.
Saturday (Midsummer!) we spent first at one of my schools playing sports (school festival thing) for 3 hours, and then we jumped in the car, drove back home as fast as we could, only to jump into another car waiting for us outside my building. In that car were Taya, Toshi and Nerida, and we all drove south (I think) to a cherry plantation for a 40 minute all you can eat-session. Needless to say, I won't be eating cherries again anytime soon, and I think Kjers is on the same page hehe.
On Sunday we went to my boss' house for a New Zealand traditional hangi (you dig a hole in the ground, heat up rocks, then bury whatever you want to cook). Lots of people came and it was a really nice time =)
Yesterday I had the day off because of the school festival thing, so we drove around checking out some shops, trying desperately but failing miserably to find manga in English. Even finding anime with English subtitles proved futile =( I bought Peacemaker in Japanese, always good to practice, but I think once we get to Tokyo on Saturday we will make another attempt at finding manga translated to English =)
Today, Kjers came to school with me and acted as my show and tell. The kids were all staring everywhere she went, so I guess she is now a celebrity at that school hehehe. Don't know how much fun she had though, poor girl hehehehe....
Will try to post some pics later!

Waiting

Aaaaaaaah, I can't believe so many of you guys are coming to visit! I'm really excited!
Kjers is arriving on Friday, and then it will only be a bit more than a week before the Bergen crew hits Tokyo! Yeay! The fact that I'm getting 2 days off work to hang out in Tokyo isn't bad either =)
Life is good!
