Wednesday (29th) was ShÅwa Day (since 2007) – a day to reflect on the events of the ShÅwa period. To most people this means staying home. Or more precisely: not going to work. To me and Masami this meant a bakeoff, perhaps reflecting and honoring all the butter brought in since.
Spinachwaffle with salmon and sourcream for brunch.
Chocolatewaffle for brun…ssert.
Tacos for dinner. Cheese, of course.
Bananapie for dessert.

Behold, the mountain of buttery threath to your health – doubledose’d.
( 2.0h? )I started this blog about a year ago after I bought a handy little pocket camera. I said stuff like this about that camera: “[it] will serve me for years to come“.
I broke that camera early this spring and ‘ve mostly been snapping with my keitai as a poor substitute since.
Got a new, somewhat shiny camera today. Ixy digital 10. Will I still be here next summer to brake it? Hope so. Sincerely.
With that said, happy anniversary (on the 14th, actually). I go to Geisai from now. Report back after. Expect pictures.
My old colluage Sofia (from the Razorfish era) and her soon to be hubby Pal came over. Partly to talk with telecom-giants about their pretty great stuff, partly for Hanami.
(Sorry for this picture)
Of the 3 times we got a chance to hang out, last night was squeeze-your-own-fresh-wasabi-night (Resturaunt-find courtesy of Yasu).
(Raise your hand if your name is Yasu. Right: Shinpei)
As a farewall-please-come-back-soon-gift Yasu and Naopi (Shinpei too? Probably) got them both a little something from the conbini: a Japanese comicbook, a package of instant-yakisoba, and I think even a “onecup” of sake. Because – “it is Japanese style”. My friends are the most awesomestes. Next week we’ll head on over to the 51st floor of Sumitomo building for some grilled chicken.
This is Japanese ramen, Kyuushuu style. Yes, the meat floating so harmoniously is pig of course. Also featured in the bowl is seaweed strings, garlic, sesame-seeds and some other stuff that I’ve yet to learn the English/Swedish word for. And that little bowl of spicy vegetables? 
That’s from some self-service buckets on the table. At lunchtime this set comes accompanied by a plate of mini-dumplings and a complimentary bowl of rice topped with cod-roe.
See, this is what we are missing in Sweden; 5 meals in one.
I got some nice birthday presents from Sweden in the mail today.
– The winter set: scarves, caps, gloves, socks with snowflake prints, lip-balm, rose hip-soup.
– The university set: a Zara hoodie and loads of candy. Candy which I’ll be sharing with my friends at Tamabi this week, especially the santaclaus-shaped foamy ones.
I got my blog up. Which is all wonderful. I will begin snapping pictures on a somewhat daily basis. At least on a weekly one. This, mostly for my family back in Sweden to see my everyday life in Tokyo. Per request. So why post in English? Swedes might not be the only ones who’d be watching it. I will not spellcheack, by the way.
Without further ado here’s my first picture to start of this thing: my camera, the little L4 that will serve me for years to come. Hopefully.
Snappingly yours,
Peter
