Hemlängtan med Singoalla kex

070113- From IKEA (Nichi-Funabashi) to Shibuya
Last Saturday was spent on walking around at IKEA. It is quite near from where we live, in Matsudo. Easy peasy, just take Joban Line to Shim-Matsudo, and from there, take Keiyo Line towards Nichi-Funabashi. Everything was the same. It even smelt IKEA. The only difference would have been the names, everything was translated or subtitled maybe, to Japanese.

We started out with Köttbullar and Semla. Very Swedish. My friend Rira, loved SEMURA as the Japanese would say it. But Rira is also very fond of Swedish candy, like Salt och Blandat, so no wonder...



As you can see this blog will, from now on, be written in english. This is a request from our Japanese, English, French and German friends. And also my family and friends in America. But everyone in the whole world knows that Swedish people is the BEST at english, so I'm sure it won't be a problem. ;)

At the Swedish Shop we bought Singoalla kex, which surprisingly only was 6 kronor!! And we also bought Knäckebröd and Västgöta Klosterost. And you'll never guess how much we paid for the cheese... 18 kronor!! Who ever said Japan was expensive??! They also through in a Färdigskivad Hushållsost for free!



After pausing at Rira's very cosy flat, forcing her sister Satusuki to eat Ballerina and Singoalla, we decided to go to Shibuya. We were suppose to go to see Little Miss Sunshine on the Cinema, but we decided to spend the night at a Japanese Pub called Watami instead. VERY good decision! The food was excellent! We had Salmon Sashimi, Omelett with dried tuna, Yakitori in Teriyaki sauce, Onigiri Maki rolls, A HUGE Salad, Korroke (a fried vegetable dish with crabfilling: delicious... Totemo Oishii desu!) Gyozas, Sardins, Raw Springrolls with shrimps and after this excellent feast the best drink I've ever had in my entire life!! Mandarin and Cassis, with fresh mandarins... Oh My God!! So delicious! You will never guess how much we paid for this... To add, we also sat in a booth, in a Japanese Bar, with Tatami mats and bamboo all over and the shoes locked away in a wodden shrine.. We paid... 120 kronor!!! So that's it! You should all come to Japan... AT ONCE!













Sunday was spent in my room, trying to learn Katakana. Patrik and I started out with a very windy walk, which almost blew our ears away. We had a very good norimaki lunch, three very chunky big pieces of makirolls for only 18 kronor. We love it here!



Today school started for real. The students have been devided into two classes, Patrik and I are in different ones. Patrik's teacher is called Honda-sensei, mine is Takaku-sensei. They were both speeding the lesson in 125 km per hour and we didn't get anything. After the break they seemed to slow things down and we could focus a little bit. But it is very, very hard! Totemo muzukashi desu!

Over and out!
