I don’t really celebrate valentines day, but this year I both gave and received chocolate. I won’t be in Japan for white day on March 14th, so I guess it was all good to get it over and done with in February.

& sorry for the major absence. I have had some amazing times lately, and time in front of the computer have been close to zero. Impromptu holiday to Osaka and Kyoto, a friend visiting from Norway, lots of walks in the parks, several parties, sightseeing, eating too much yakitori and tons and tons of pictures to edit.

The last part of this series is out, and it is absolutely grand. Watch watch watch!

Hello pretty ladies (and lovely boys)! The price for the most inconsistent blogger of 2012 so far goes to… *drumroll* me! I have no excuses. I have been busy, a lot of teaching and a little bit of studying. Everything is fine and dashing, but I haven’t had much time for the blog. I have at least 60 or so photos backlogged over 10 – 15 posts, I just need to find time to post some of them! I hope everyone in the blogosphere is doing as great as me this February.  Recently I have been enjoying myself, almost a bit too much. I went to an onsen twice in a week, I had wonderful little trips around Tokyo (pictures are coming, promise!), I went to the Mori Tower (more pictures are coming right up!) and saw an amazing art exhibition by Lee Bul (almost no pictures, because it is not allowed to photograph the exhibition). I went to an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant (I have pictures of that as well!), my friends and me had a crab-and-cheese-party, I have mixed a whole lot of mimosas together and had another party, and I decided to power-walk in Shinjuku park while taking pictures. I get excited about spring before it is even here, this time of year always puts me in a terrific mood! Spring is right around the corner guys! I can’t wait to eat strawberries in the park while frantically reading for this semester’s exams. Have a wonderful February everybody!

I always have fun tossing things together over at polyvore. I could never wear this, but it looks cute on the screen. If anyone else has a polyvore account, I would love to see the things you have been making.

A big dump of pictures which I never got around to post! Mostly from Nakano, Shinjuku, Akihabara and Yokohama.

先週、横浜にも行った。中華街はいつも面白くて、みなとみらいはいつもきれいな場所だと思う。

先週横浜と鎌倉に行って、色々な写真を撮った。小さな店に行って、大仏を見て、最後に寿司を食べた。楽しい一日だった。♥
