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.

Jump!

Got back at the house late yesterday after traveling on the train for 3 1/2 hours from Minakami in the Gunma area. Went there on Sunday morning with my bf to meet up with some friends who's there working with bungy jumping right now. And of course we went there to jump as well.
Minakami is a beautiful place with mountains, canyons, endless green nature and in that part of Japan the air is clean and the water is drinkable, so we liked it very much. The only bad thing about it was that there are no convenience stores or restaurants in walking distance, and we didn't have a car to get around with.
On our second day up there we jumped. A 40 meter drop from a bridge. Hell scary! My bf did a great jump and looked really cool, but I was not as lucky. I was shaking like a leaf on the edge and wondered if I could go through with it or not. But I forced myself. I had planned to jump of nicely as well but I guess my body wouldn't work as I wanted it to. Instead of jumping off I pretty much took a step down looking really uncool. Embarrassing. But at least I did it! I have talked about wanting to do it for years so I would have been disappointed with myself if I didn't go through with it.
Yesterday we signed up for canyoning, something I thought was like river rafting. Boy was I wrong! Instead of going in boats in the river you dress up in wetsuit, life west and helmet and go sliding down streams and waterfalls. Even though I was a bit disappointed that there would be no rafting, I had fun. It was a great trip, and it felt like I was out of country for a while. And I finally got to go swimming for the first time this year! Yay!

Finally

I'm going back to Tokyo tomorrow! Yay! xP

Japanese in Sweden

Did KappAhl turn Japanese?

Oh bother!

Sigh... I'm bored and I'm annoyed. And I have no frickin' idea what I should become. Don't think the chances of me becoming a writer are that big so what should I aim for instead? I wish I knew. Or that the answer would just come to me all of a sudden. I want to find something that I really like and can become good at. But what would that be?
Ideas, anyone?
