Yes, I'm a Terrorist.

Went to Hong Kong over the weekend, even though I got sick last Tuesday. My throat hurt really bad and I could barely speak, but I had to go since my ticket wasn't changeable. At the airports they had me go through security checks. 4 of them! I guess I look like a terrorist.
Belinda picked me up at the airport in Hong Kong and took me to her place. She lives on the 22nd floor and has a nice view of the Hong Kong harbour. Urayamashii! Belinda was a good guide and she took me to see the Avenue of the Stars, The Peak, and the world's biggest statue of Buddha. Hong Kong is an intersting city, and I had a good time. But it's good to be home in Japan again and to get some rest, because I really need it. Phew!

Cat in a Box

Walked into a pet shop in Roppongi yesterday, where they sell puppies and kittens. They keep them in these little plastic boxes so everyone can see from the outside and inside of the shop. It's just so cruel, they barely have any space to move around in, and only a rug and a food bowl in there. I feel so bad for them!

Goodbye June

Yesterday was the last day for a girl in my class, June. We have only known each other for a few weeks but I'm really going to miss her. Some people are just so easy to hang out with, and June is that kind of person. Wish we could have gone to more places together! But we'll meet again, I'll go and visit her in Spain someday.
June, if you read this: Un zumo de piña por favor!

Success!

Yesterday I cooked greek food for dinner. I was kind of worried it wouldn't turn out well since I don't trust my cooking skills all that much, but to my suprise it turned out great. I make bifteki with potato wedges and tzatziki. Also fried some halloumi, a special cheese that they make in Cyprus. I love this cheese! So oishii! Had a difficult time finding it in Tokyo but tuesday I went to an international food market in Hiroo (near Roppongi) and there they had some. It was pretty expensive but it's worth it, it just taste soooo good!

Maid in Japan

So the festival that was on Saturday turned out to be a charity event. They did have some food but nothing that I really wanted to eat for lunch, unless you count sweets. After that we headed to Akihabara where we decided to go to a Maid Café. Didn't look as cute as I thought it would but it was an experinece. Three of us ordered tirmaisu to eat but what we got was something entirely different. Apparently frostie flakes with whipped cream is tiramisu to japanese people. Expensive frostie flakes too! Oh well....

Yesterday I went back to Akihabara and bought myself a Toshiba Satellite laptop. I'm happy that I finally have a computer to use! No more guesthouse computers! And this computer is so nice too... and it was cheap!
The weather was really nice yesterday so after I dropped off my new computer at the guesthouse I went to read by the river. The day felt special for some reason. Maybe it was just the weather but whatever it was it got me in a really good mood.

Tiramisu?

What's new?

Last week the summer semester ended. Since I didn't pass the level-up test I am now repeating the same course again, which is good since I missed 5 weeks of studying while I was home in Sweden. I now have a bunch of new classmates. Everyone seem nice but I think there are too many students in the class, the classroom is too small and the boys are pretty noisy.
On saturday, which uh.. is tomorrow, there is a festival called Global Festa that I'm going to. They should have music, probably some kind of entertainment and international food there. Will be fun!
