Shinjuku by night

Tuesday 10/3:
Later that day when Anja got to go to Asakusa, Mette was feeling better, and since it was our last day in Tokyo, we headed out again for some more sightseeing, this time to Shinjuku.
Shinjuku can be parted into east Shinjuku and west Shinjuku, and the two parts are as night and day, literally! [...]

Asakusa rickshaw style

Monday 9/3 – Tuesday 10/3:
Ok, time to look at the actual serious sightseeing we got to do before leaving Tokyo, which was Asakusa. Kojiro accompanied us, since it turned out that in addition to his bakery and bartender jobs he is working now, he has also worked as a rickshaw puller in Asakusa (and a [...]

Rocking Tokyo

Thursday 5/3 –Sunday 8/3:
Ok, its time to tell a little more about my visit from Norway and my last two weeks vacation with them. I’ll start with the first four days that I already have written a little bit about already. They where pretty exhausting and intense, mainly focusing on partying and just a little [...]

A little bit of Norway in Tokyo

Wednesday 25/2:
Wednesday night Ask and Anders came knocking one my door, and asked if I wanted to rent a movie with them. Apparently there is a movie place in Aobadai that they had used many times before, so we headed out to rent the movie. They don’t dub the movies in Japan luckily, so as [...]

Kaiten sushi

Wednesday 25/2:
Without sushi… That is revolving conveyer belt sushi, except that we (me and Kojiro) went there after lunchtime. Apparently not enough people eat around 3 o’clock in Japan, so they can’t fill up the conveyer belt with sushi. Instead they have plates with notes on them, and you shout out what you would like.
