Yummy, yummy!

I should be in bed now ... actually I already am but normal people sleep during this time at night. Just started to wonder about what I want for my birthday in July and thought about Swedish food, I've done that several times a day for a week now. I just feel the need of a semla, would someone please bake some and deliver via DHL? Thanks!


Swedish food - Semla. Thanks Tasteline.com for a great picture.



Oh, btw ... my new address is the same as Hanna's but I rewrite it here (for all you people who are to lazy to use that scroller thing).

Friends and Family

It seems as a different life, when I think about Sweden and all of you back home. I miss you so much... It has been five months soon, and life in Japan has become like any other everyday life. But it is still SO GOOD!!! And in the lack of family in Japan, an "urban family" is coming together... Patrik, me, Max, Shane (even though he is now back in New York) Camilla, Rira, Stephanie and lots of friends.

During "Golden Week" (a hole week of national holidays for the hardworking japanese people and when entire Tokyo is completely loaded with tourists) Patrik and me had afew nice days alone, when Max was in Korea to renew his VISA. We were mostly hanging out in my room, studying, knitting (I did, not Patrik) and listening to swedish radio, as the rain was pouring down outside. We also took a trip to Shinjuku's Scyscrapers District, to see how big the city we live in, is. It was big! It IS big!!

Enjoy some pictures!! I thought I might be coming home this summer, but it is SUPER expensive, so I think I might stay hereand do some diving in Okinawa instead... See ya!

Big kiss from Hanna.


My dear old colleage Aina from Gant (together with Anton and Lisa), came to visit their friend Hanna (who lives here with her boyfriend Osvaldo,) and we had a supernice day in different café's, in Mejingu Koen and also some Karaoke at night.


Patrik is admiring the view over one of the biggest cities in the world.


44 floors up this building (the Government Building, Shinjuku) stuck in a slow elevator with appr. 25 silent japanese Salery men and two giggling Swedes... What a nightmare...


Sunday lunch with Rira and Stephanie. Can't believe that we are together again!


Weekend at Rira's

Max, me and Stephanie went to Rira's and Satsuki's home to spend the weekend.



Punkt-chan is hiding under her cushions.


Enjoying green tea at the Tea Shop were Rira's mother works, at the museaum.



Rira looking gorgeous as ever!!


Max and Pause-chan is guarding the garden and the street.


Adam (who we met in Kyoto) came back to pick up his stuff, a travelbag who has been living in my wardrobe for a while. Now he left for the States, but we had him for our selfs for one night of dinner and Korean alcohol. Hope to see you soon again Adam!


I miss you my wonderful family!!!!
