From swimming in the ocean to Glad midsommar!

First of all, contratulations to Mia (who now can call herself a teacher) and to Jeanette (who now can call herself Mrs. Anton)!

I can't believe it's already the end of June, or more specific Midsummer, we've soon been here for six months (!); life is great and we continue to discover new things every now and then. Today's activities has been wonderful. Hanna and Cathrin invited a bunch of people, including Max, Hanna and me, to Yoyogi Park to celebrate Swedish Midsummer with all that comes around like Swedish food, Swedish liquor, nice company and of course ... the frog dance (something you foreigners will never understand)! haha After some hours of fun we heard some trance music playing from somewhere so Hanna, Dennis, Keisuke and I went away from the Midsummer celebration for a while and found the place where they had sort of a trance celebration. In front of a scene there were like 50-60 people just staring at three DJs standing on a huge stage playing music, it was boring to just see people standing there doing nothing so we started to dance in the middle of the crowd and it didn't take long til the rest of the audience were dancing too. Some of them with us, doing the classical v-sign and wanted to take pictures of us, had a blast, will definiately go there more this summer. After a while we got back to the wonderful Midsummer party and then moved on home, all of us pretty tired. Hanna and Cathrin, thank you soooo much for inviting us, you're the best! (Hope you will enjoy season 4. :))

Midsummer started with five people all pretending to be Ferdinand, but instead of breathing in the scent of flowers we drank beer.

After a while, more and more people joined us to have a great time.

Suddenly, Hanna noticed these tiny Swedish liquor glass bottles laying all over the park, it was time for singing 'Helan går' and to do the frog dance. After the frog dance we were amazed that none of the Germans nor Japanese in the company had left the party-

Swedish liquor. Some side effects may occur.

We want more. We want some more. And then some.

Searching for the trance music playing from somewhere we finally found it, WE FOUND IT! The burning trance bush!

Earlier this week, during a day when the weather Gods wanted to Japan be a really nice place to be in, Candace (a cool girl from the States who just moved into our house), Max, Hanna and I went to Kamakura. It was the first time for me and Candace to be in Kamakura so Max and Hanna introduced us for Kamakura's beach, we all had a swim and after that we splitted up with Candace and me looking for temples and Hanna and Max enjoying the beautiful weather. For some of us the bike trip turned out to become a fight for life and to get away from the Death Machine.

Alright, alright, we didn't went to Kamakura, we went to the States.

Behind the Big Buddha there were this stone and a man.

ABUNAI KARA!!! Yepp, it's a warning sign, and a cute one for sure.
