Rice Bowl & Alice in Wonderland

I promise you, my Japanese Popular Culture classes on Wednesdays are so boring. I stopped paying attention three weeks ago.

There's a fancy visiting professor from Japan that's been giving lectures these past few weeks, and I spend more time during his classes giggling to myself when listening to his heavy Japanese accent then anything else.

I don't give a rat's ass about Japanese popular culture.

I can't wait to write the term paper.

I think I'll write about Japanese porn.

Won't that be 'popular culture' enough?

I gave myself a headache, getting all cross-eyed
from watching a guy sitting three rows below me
playing guitar hero
on his iphone.
I was jelaous

At least Wictoria was doing something useful with her time
by doing the homework for
tomorrow's Japanese class

After school we went to celebrate that this month's student loan had finally arrived at our meager bank accounts.

Petter!

Me!

The best Thai joint in town

Benedicte trying to decide

Oooh..

Tom Kha Gai

Kuey Teow Nua

Then, people
We ran into Cat
on her way to a concert.
She's gotten in to a fancy university in Japan,
so I bet she's pretty stoked these days!

Benedicte

Then we met up with Wictoria and Asaki to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D.

Japanese people snack on
goyas when they're at the movies.

The glasses and the whole 3D gig made my eyes and head hurt. Oh, and I fell asleep during the movie.

Successful day, indeed.

Og snipp, snapp, snute, så var studielånet ute.

The end

Going home for Christmas...

.. yeah right.

Today we were really rebellious. Instead of going home after school we went to.. Funabashi!

Wictoria, Benedicte, Kuniyoshi and I went to Funabashi to see Twilight, and I think we all (well, maybe not Kuniyoshi) were salvating throughout the entire movie. Tsk, tsk.

I'm paparazziing Katinka, don't tell her

Cat wears some serious bling

Kosuka sensee

On the train station at school we ran into one of our teachers, Kosuka sensee. Poor lady turned so shy when I shoved the camera in her face.

So I had to be quick.

Wictoria

Hello, Christmas spirit!.. (?)

Royal Milk Tea and Strawberry flavoured Kit Kat!
Collecting Kit Kat has turned into my new hobby.
I've also tasted Miso-soup flavoured Kit Kat once, it was pretty good

Cake!

Then, people, after the movies we walked to IKEA! It was like being back home in Norway.

Even though IKEA is Swedish.

"Jokkmokk"?

My bedroom.
Of course I keep all the price tags on - don't you?

No, no, no.
What is Wictoria doing in my bedroom

Benedicte's crib.
She doesn't even take her shoes off when she's inside her house

Swedish meatballs!
Haha, I was not at all prepared for the mulled wine to be SO spiked!
Getting drunk at IKEA, only in Japan

Wictoria's new hat.
It's very practical

Today's catch!
(Jada, mamma, jeg vet at det ikke er lørdag i dag)
