Hello everyone and Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas and well-wishes to all!

I hope you’ve had a wonderful Christmas, I certainly have. Me and Emma went to Tokyo Disney Sea, which is like Disney Land but less about princesses and mickey mouse and more about Disney’s other stuff like Indiana Jones.

I think Disneyland is probably the only place in the world (except maybe Las Vegas) where you can be on the French Riviera, eating at a restaurant in Venice, walk around in 50′s New York, be a pirate, in a 16th century castle and an underwater fantasy-world all within 30 minutes.

I’m going to post a couple of pictures here but if you want to see all of them go to my flickr page by clicking here. I wish you all a happy new year! And I hope you have a good relaxing couple of days before new years arrive as well!

There’s an old thing I havent shown here and theres a new one. They’re both pretty much explainable by pictures.

The first one is a school-trip to FujiQ amusement park near Mt. Fuji. It was a pretty fun place actually! Very focused on “extreme” rides as opposed to Disney’s more “land of magic” approach to amusement parks.

This was the worlds highest roller coaster at the time of building. Now it’s like nr 3 or something.

Insane rollercoaster, I didn't ride this one

The other thing is a really fun Gyoza-making party at a friends house. Two of my classmates have rented a house in the “outskirts” of Tokyo (like 20 minutes by train or something) in a super-nice family-friendly neighborhood. So we all met up at their house (mostly chinese people) and made like 100 dumplings and some other food and ate for a couple of hours. Really, really nice way to spend a sunday.

Everyone is hard at work

My best one yet!

Everything is finished

There are more pictures on flickr as usual!

I have also changed a thing here on the blog. You’ll notice that to the right should now be my recent tweets instead of the recent comments on the blog. Since I’m not writing so much right now I think that will add a little life to this place.
