Wassup ? Nothin



I wanted to make this blog a lot more fun and readable, but something big has happend here which made it difficult for me to write for myself and my readers, the few I have. But something I need to get out there is that this blog is more for me, and all my rambling, and some actually seems to like it.

The big thing is, Thing is that the life in Hakodate and Tokyo is like to opposite worlds in one little country. Personally I knew that Tokyo would be a lot more different, and different in a good way. But one thing I have noticed is that some days it sucks all the energy out of me, so whenever I get home I will go "tadaima" and hug my pillow until I almost suffocate myself. Somedays I like the business of the city and somedays I go like "shut up and go to bed already". Tokyo is a big city and Hakodate was maybe to small for me. So when will I become satisfied ? Never, really. You always want something more or different from what you actually have. But it is wonderful to have Tokyo as my backyard. It's love and will always be a lovingly relationship. Some understands that and some will never even be able to grasp it. When you find you place, it's like a "BIG BAAAANG" inside your head. The universe comes together to make you feel at home, and to tell you "this is it", "finally you are here". Are you one of those who can grasp how I feel ? Hope you do, and if you don't I hope you will. The streets, the sounds, the smells and the eyecandy is all I need. Even though I love many other things which is not related to Japan, it's not like my love is any less. I was once told "Why are you in Japan when all you talk about is Korea?". I can understand the question, but then again I don't. When I was in Norway, everything was about Japan and Korea. But now that I am in Japan, why do I talk about Korea? I am in Japan, so everything here is a part of my everyday and therefore a part of my conversations but in a different way. But why, because everything is "normal" here. Meaning the music, fashion, tv shows, it's everywhere, all the time. So I don't talk about it in the same way like I did before, because it's a part of me and my everyday. Korea is not a part of my everyday in the same way. Which means I can talk about it a bit differently then when I talk about Japan. Japan is my home, while Korea is not. But then again my love for these two countries, I never compare them, as they are two different sides of me, as well as to different places. So why do I even need to think about comparing those two parts of myself. I don't find it necessary, not at all. 

(You might have noticed that there hasn't been pictures in my last post, and that is because my blogspot doesn't seem to want too work with me. So I am sorry for the boring writtings, and I hope I will be able to upload some soon to make the post "spark" a little)

# 1 Friday list; what characthers do I like


As some might now, Japan is in love with characters and you see them everywhere. Some are more popular then others but still very much loved. Whenever you meet new people in Japan you will notice that some has a certain favorite as the characters is to be find in all of their apartment or car for that matter. Toilet seat, towels, tableware and so much more. Personally I have a love for Disney's Stitch, and it shows. I always thought Stitch was cute, but I never found anything back home so he wasn't my absolute favorite back then. But Japan, how I love you. You find heaps and heaps of character goods and it will satisfy you for a life time or maybe only a couple of years. So here we go, this fridays list:

6. Elmo
