Christmas Eve

Hahaha!! This reindeer mask is suuure worth every single yen (100). As you might have understood we all dressed up in a christmasy fashion. This mask/hat was actually mine though. Pim wore a duck mask that was just as ugly as Rudolph and they´re AWESOME!

Nozomi posing with some cool glasses! They were randomly given to Sanna though as a christmas present, but apparently Nozomi stole them for a while.

Sanna felt very girly girly in her outfit. I wonder why? This scene makes her look like an adorable housewife, cooking okonomiyaki by the stove^^

I celebrated Christmas at Sanna´s and Helena´s apartment together with Pim, Mårten (Helena´s boyfriend, now visiting japan for a few weeks) and Nozomi. Unlike my expectation we had a wonderful Christmas!! Great success. All of us had cooked some food that we brought to the table ( we ate stitting on the floor though) and it was all delicious!! We felt obliged to get some christmas presents but we did it the cheap way ;) It´s the thought that counts right? Everyone bought something for 500 yen and then we traded the presents randomly. And oh they were neatly lying under a small christmas tree that Sanna and Helena had managed to find somewhere (at a 100yen-shop right?). The inside of the house was decorated nicely, we had nostalgic christmas songs playing and tasty alcohol so the atmosphere was nice and cozy! We finished the evening a very non-traditional way though. We went to karaoke a sung for a few hours. You must think that we´ve had enough of it since ages ago but NOPE, it´s a drug and we´re all addicted it seems. Well this year´s Christmas will be one to remember!

On the 22nd Hannes flew home :/

My good friend Hannes, and room mate since 2 months back finally went home to Sweden. It was a really sad fact since we´ve had soo much fun together hanging around at various places in Tokyo , discovered and experienced hilarious phenomens or just chatting and laughing like idiots at dull jokes etc. Half of our (now my own room for a few more days) became completely empty with no signs of anyone ever having stayed there before. The appearance of the "interior" was basically how it felt mentally as well. I´ll definately miss times like chatting, watching films, and drinking together late evenings. It was a weirdly sad emotion realizing that he´d gone home to Sweden. Besides emptniness there was another thing Hannes left behind though. Probably the only positive thing I´d say, namely food supplies haha... Me and Pim split some of it and added it into our poor storage. Anyway on the 4th of January some unknown korean guy will move in (information on short notice) here. Our contact person really sucks, and reeaaally lacks competence when it comes to handle business affairs. I won´t be the same thing at all as it was before when I shared the room with Hannes... :/ come back!? I´ll give you some info about Brian´s messages later by the way. He just never seizes to surprise me..
