Every year when the year starts, Japanese hang up these decorations on their doors, and I just think they are adorable. Here is a small collection from my neighborhood.

The wall in my toilet. I have learned a thing or two here.

sushi + ankimo

shishamo + fried chicken

potato-pie hokkaido style + christmas lights in Tokyo

typical izakaya-food on a typical evening.

And we have to love the English education on Japanese TV.

Lots of pictures from fall 2012. I played around with a new apple product and took pictures of my face.

I drank coffee from classical cups and walked around Bergen in the freezing cold weather right before the snow fell.

Dromedar, Misjonen and Blom. The holy tri-force 😉

Food at Jacob’s and chrismas lights up in the trees.

Homemade dinner with salmon, and the 4th floor in the Tokyo apartment.

Kanji that I had to remember + cheese and wine and crackers.

More dinner, I ate a lot of salmon last fall.

Shrimp and crab and wine with M.

Wine + M’s new lamp + my new hair + birthday gift.

明けましておめでとう！最近、今学期の準備とバイトのせいで、時間があまり足りなかったけど、満足している。よいお年を〜
Happy new year! I have been super-busy preparing for the next couple of months and working, but I am happy. Hope you all will have a great 2013!
