I was out walking in Nakano today and came across a cat on a wall. We took some pictures of it and it wasn’t scared at all so I put my tripod on the wall and the cat started nicely posing for the camera so I got this awesome shot. Probably the best picture I’ve ever taken.

Check out more pics on my flickr.

I was going to talk about the cellphone, the camera and school. But I didn’t really have anything useful to say about the camera so I skipped it. I find it a lot harder to make vlogs right now than writing regular blog-posts. When I write I can get in exactly how much information I want and the reader can choose to read as much of it as he wants, it’s easy to school to see where interesting parts are and such. In the video though I have to be fast and concise or it becomes super-boring very, very fast. The end result is that the video contains a lot less information than a blog-post would have. It’s a good exercise to learn to be concise, but at what cost does that happen, and is it worth that cost? Anyhow, here is a video. Showing off the school-material is the most interesting and worth-while part.

Today we just chilled out. I recorded a bunch of stuff for a vlog to explain the phone thing, showed my new camera and talked a bit about school. However, it turns out I am extraordinarily boring when I talk, so I need to learn how to talk more concise and a lot faster. I’m going to make another attempt tomorrow, if that doesn’t work I’ll just write what I want to say instead of making a video. I did however make a video from some random shots throughout the day. We just spent the day walking around and found some pretty neat stuff.

I’ve managed to find some sort of Yoghurt now. It comes in half-litle plastic/paper containers and you can see one in the image below. This was my breakfast today. I think it’s pretty expensive though.

This is one of my absolute favorite things to eat in Japan, Mister Donut:

I just got a new camera! Yay! It’s a Lumix GF1 and I’ll talk more about it later. Here’s some random test-stuff for now!

I just counted all the words I’ve learned so far and have come to the conclusion that we are learning new words at a rate of 23 words per day. We’ve been studying 9 days and gone through 5 chapters in the book and learned ~211 words. Just wanted to let you know that.

Tomorrow I’ll hopefully be buying a camera so you’ll get some pictures and nice videos and stuff in the future.

Also: I like apples, but they’re fucking expensive. Check out Eemmas post on the topic.
