Christmas Calendar: December 21th

9:39:00 AM
On the 21st it was time for another nabe-party, this time to celebrate Mika´s birthday! Pay attention to the table; it is a so called kotatsu (炬燵) which is special for Japan. There is a small electric oven built into the table itself, and with a blanket covering the sides of the table you can...

There is a so-called Kaitensushi-restaurant near Ritsumeikan University where the normal plates only costs around 100 yen each. Me and Ericka went there today and ate sushi for dinner! For those who aren´t acquainted with Kaitensushi restaurants, the special feature of this kind of restaurant is that...

This is the so-called "Randen" that runs between Kita no hakubaichou (北野白梅町) and Arashiyama (嵐山). As you can see it is still not too cold here in Kyoto. But the last couple of days the temperature has dropped drastically, so I guess the last flowers won´t be there for that much longer...

Close to our dorm there is a shop that is called Book Off, where they among others sell used books. It´s really cheap, for instance they have a big section in the store where they sell manga for 105 yen each. Besides mangas they also have a wide selection of novels and so on too, and this picture is...

On the 9th of December it was Silke´s birthday, and we decided to throw a surprise birthday party for her. The only problem was that she was on a day trip to Osaka, and we didn´t know when she would get back home. She sent me a message saying she would be back at latest around 24:00, but around one...

The local dance studio where me, Erica and Adaora goes for samba-classes on Wednesdays! It is a nice place, and I think they like having us foreigners in their classes. I guess we are an interesting group:p.. Anyway, the place is situated between I-House 1 and the local supermarket, so it is...

Today I went with Yuma to Kobe after class for the so-called Luminaire Festival, which actually is an annual memorial to the losses due to the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995. Every year the arches has a new design, and I´m pretty sure there must be a lot of work involved in making and putting up...

Today´s picture is taken in a restaurant called Sweets Paradise, where you after paying 1480 yen can eat as much cake as you want for around 70-80 minutes depending on the day. This restaurant is located in the 6th floor of the Koto Cross Hankyu Kawaramachi building, which makes it quite easy to find....

For some reason it seems that todays picture also ended up showing a fish. Isn´t it cute? Haha.. This is a hashioki (箸置き), which is used to put your chopsticks on when you´re finished eating (or whenever it´s not in use). The picture is taken in a restaurant close to Fushimi Inari Taisha, where we...

Today on my way home from my last ceramic class I stopped by a store called Fresco to buy some groceries, and I happened to find this package of fish.. I thought it was kinda funny that that it had the "Kingdom of Norway" label on it, while advertisements like this usually just tells you that the fish...

Kyoto is a really nice place for sightseeing. No matter where you go you can always find some interesting temples, houses and so on. On my way home from a club near Kamogawa this evening I passed by this place, and thought it looked really nice with the lights and so on..! So without further redo,...

Today´s picture shows the so-called "gaikokujinbenchi" (外国人ベンチ). This place is usually shortened to "gaiben" (外ベン), and as the name indicates it is the place where the international students usually spend their lunch or in general hang out when at school. The last couple of weeks it was so cold that...

Christmas Calendar: 1st of Desember

11:47:00 PM
So, it´s December again..! This will be my first Christmas being celebrated without my family, and I guess that will be a bit strange for me. The Japanese christmas is quite different from the one being celebrated in western countries; it´s more like a valentines day than a family day really. That´s...
