Rabbit in the Moon


Yesterday it was Tsukimi, the time of year when you can see the fullmoon at it's fullest and brightest. There is an old asian story telling about a woman who got banished to the moon, and there she lived together with a rabbit. Went up on the roof yesterday night to look for rabbits but I couldn't see any, since the moon was pretty far away. But it still looked pretty!

Can I have the receipt?


Was very suprised to find this bag with the swedish words meaning "Can I have the receipt?" when I was looking at clothes in Shinjuku yesterday. Why these words? Do the maker even know what it means?
Earlier in the week a classmate showed me a pencase he'd bought at some shop with some norweigan words written on it. It said: "Give me a pen, ink and paper" but that at least makes some sense...

Typhoon

It's hot, it's humid and there's a typhoon raging outside at the moment. It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but on the other hand I'm not outside in the rain and windy weather right now, so it could have gotten worse since I got back to the house. People say the trains might not work tomorrow, and truth be told, I won't be so sad about it if it happens. I'm not a girl who prefers going to school over doing whatever I want. But I guess there's not so much to do around here, so I would probably be bored.

School is diffcult right now. I ended up in the same class as before, and they've learned a lot while I was back in Sweden. It's difficult to keep up with all the new words and everything else. I want and need one of those electrical dictionaries but I don't know if I want to spend money on one. I want a laptop much more, but I'm not even sure if I'm going to buy of those. Would be nice to not have to use these crappy old computers that they have in the guesthouse. I have to go to Yodobashi Camera and look for a good computer that's not too expensive.
