First day in school

Back to school! The traditional picture with two happy kids on their way to school went missing this year! The pressure of moving back to Sweden and stating a new school took it's toll! Not only smiles this rainy morning!

Coldplay

So it took a week, or so but the I got it! The latest album by Coldplay is really nice. OK better than nice, some soundbites are on the web! Check out their webpage! I took me a while since I don't read CD covers (it is like manuals) but I could not grasp why I felt all these influences! I have teenage kids! I have no time to read about music! But of course Brian Eno has done part of the production! The album "Viva la vida" is really cool tracks range from lovely to brilliant. If you haven't heard it, please check it out! My only concern right now, do I dare to get the older CD's?

The best coffee in town?

Can be found in an ol VW bus in Jiyugaoka! Worth a detour!

Tokyo on my own!

It is a wee bit strange to spend so much time with myself as the only company. But there are good sides to it as well! After a brilliant sushi lunch on one of the bridges over meguro-gawa I set out for some culture. Not just any one but my favorite posh-type culture, modern dance. Maki Kurishita et al. should perform at the Aoyama Round Theatre. I found the place and I got a ticket. Dance is amazing! Maybe it is simple! I can't dance, it could be thats why it is so awesome to see people who can. If Akiko Yano is the voice, this could be the "body", a really cool show maki-no-uzu-maki. I think it means Makis spiral. A mix of child stories, danced (I think that what it was, all was in Japanese) balkan musik, really hardcore metal stuff. Amazing both the dancing and the music (by Dill). So this act is over, but honestly, if you are given a chance to see Maki (and the maki-gumi) take it!!!

Sayonara Piyush!

Mr enka sings a song for piyush!




A new t-shirt and some beer, can it be better?

Yes it can! Underneath you can see the loving t-shirt but on top a sober yukata!
Good Luck in Sweden!
