New pictures and twitter

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.

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.
