Norwegian national day was here – first time in many years I could celebrate it in Norway, and first time in many years I ate fenalår (dried and salted lamb/sheep). You basically cut right in to this thing with a knife, cut of pieces and eat it as is together with the dry kringle next to it.

I procrastinated by drawing random figures when I my head was mush reading for exams.

The sun finally came to Bergen!

And needless to say, I ate more sushi.

I helped clean up a house.

Drank more coffee.

And before I knew it my time in Norway was up and now I am back in Tokyo!

This is what I did in April; I was treated to champagne at this very uh.. colorful bar…

…before we continued home and had some more wonderful things to drink.

And I visited grandma, she is still going strong!

Ate sushi.

Cleaned up my shelves.

Experienced wonderful spring light.

Bought a new moleskine. (This is a trick up my sleeve for better performance at school – buy wonderful supplies so you want to write.)

There was a new cat, and I decided to name her Sushi.

Ate fish. Folkelig fiskegrateng er aldri feil. Nam!

See ya!

Oh hi!  I just discovered I have a blog! I tend to not prioritize this place once exam season sets in, but now everything is finished for the semester, and I can go back to updating this thing. I have about 20 entries ready to go. Here are some mobile pictures from March, April and May. Above; a cute ad on the metro in Tokyo in March + a wonderful gift I recieved.

And landing at Gardermoen and eating sandwiches with real bread in Norway.

It was still really cold with snow on the ground back in March.

Fancy drinks from fancy parties both with friends and all alone at Kaffemisjonen.

Last, but not least – wonderful food from Jacob’s. Blue cheese and homemade cinnabun, who would have thought that would make such a great combo.

I am plugging away to reach my exam goals right now, so no blogging for me until the exams are over next week! For now – I just wanted to share this absolutely wonderful video – About how to remember more things, better. Truly inspiring for busy students right before an exam. I feel a huge happy boost of energy. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend, I am hitting the books!

More pictures from Kinkakuji. I really loved the color of the little ponds in the area.
