Wow what an amazing trip.
Chika and I found out right before Christmas that there was a Tristan Prettyman concert in Tokyo at the 23 of January, so new years day, we went to 7eleven and bought tickets. I was soooo HAPPY.
So the day came and we left for Tokyo yesterday…well, on Monday. Here’s the trip.
Well she came early Monday morning and picked me up at my apartment at 10.00, well it had been snowing ,so she came a little later…snow is VERY dangerous here, because no one use winter tires, because it snows very seldom. We went to the bus station, had a lot of fun in the car ,and were really exited. The bus went at 11.15 so we sat there and waited about 20 min or something, when the bus finally came. Chikas mom called and couldn’t find her car keys…and Chika maybe had them. So he,he…or warau at they say here, he,he, well we had to go and look for the car keys in her car, so we had to let the Tokyobus leave without us, we went to the car and looked all over the car, and Chika said like “Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry”…over and over again, while I was laughing and saying that it was totally ok…then she lifted up the seat pillow and there they were….It was sooo funny, sorry, You might not think it sound soo funny, I guess you had to be there. She was sooo sorry, but I just thought it was really funny and said that we need those kinds of situations once in a while. Well we drove back to her mom with the keys , and took the bus two hours later…I’m still laughing.
Well we arrived Tokyo station after a very fun bus trip, and started to look for the place where the concert were.
We found it and had a WONDERFUL TIME. Enjoyed the support bandman Will Conner and then Tristan Prettyman. A great great great wonderful charming concert. After, we went eating and then we went to my wonderful Japanese friend Mika that I actually got to know for the first time when she came to visit Norway and stayed at my and Ingvilds place in Oslo last February I think. We came there to worm ready beds or futons as they are called here. Chika and Mika met for the first time and made good friends right away. We talked and talked and really enjoyed the time together. And the day after we slept a long time, or not soo long but talked a lot before we got up. We ate the wonderful breakfast that Mikas mother had bought for us. We went together to go a little shopping. But mostly we just enjoyed spending time together. I think I got a little spoiled with the speaking part, because Mika is really good in English , so I just talked a lot to her in English and then she translated it all in Japanese to Chika. But It was good, because sometimes there is just a lot of thing that you want a good friend to know about you and your life, that’s really hard to explain with the few Japanese words I know or the few English words she knows.
We said “matta ne” (Se you later) to Mika and took the bus back to Iwaki at around 18.30. And fell asleep right away.
We ate A LOT of chocolate while we had some really good talks about a lot of things and how amazing it actually is that we have become this good friends and what a miracle it is that right this time Tristan Prettyman was going to have this concert in Tokyo that we both was able to go together to, and interested in going to.
Wow I feel so lucky and blessed. It’s just amazing. I just can’t stop smiling when I’m thinking about it.
Now I’m just sitting here in my apartment . And I’m HAPPY.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

He,he, there he is again,the wonderful neighbour I have who practicing juggling in my garden, he always makes me smile…ALWAYS.
Well Happy New Year folks. Let me just say that I had a wonderful day, well not really. In the morning It was kind of hard actually. There was this concert I wanted to go to, (like a festival thing with concerts all day from 13.00-over to the next year) but I wasn’t sure If anyone I knew was going there. All the people I had talked to wasn’t sure, because New years eve is like a family day, kind of like Norwegian Christmas I think. So I was a little sad and didn’t knew what to do, It felt a little stupid to go all by myself. But then I remembered that I had forgotten to ask Jesus, so I asked him and he never says no. So we went together ;) he, he.. Some of you maybe think that sounds really stupid, he, he, but It actually helped me a lot. You know how it is when you’re going to a place and to know just one person there makes it amazingly safe. So well I went with Jesus and then I didn’t feel alone. ..we had SOOO fun. And when people asked me if I was going there alone, I just told them with a smile on my face “No, me and Jesus is going together” and then we all smiled 
When I came there I met Naoki right away, I though he was coming late after work, but then he told me that his work was done at 18.00 ,and his English is REALLY good so that is cool. We talked a lot, and then we had a really interesting conversation about music (he is multi talented),hmm…but that conversation we had is secret, he,he.
Then I met Yuu (he has the coolest name,he,he), we just talked a little, but he’s cool. And then after a while Chika came (after work, we had a half appointment, so I knew she might come), and then all her friends was going home to one of their place for a couple of hours for the “countdown” and she invited me with them… But before we went in, we went to 7eleven to buy a couple of ticket to this “Tristan Prettyman” concert in Tokyo, WOW ,We are going there together, It’s amazing. IT’S FANTASTIC, I AM SOOOOO HAPPY.
Well we went back to their friends place for the “Countdown” (it’s like this program on TV) and after that we went back to Sonic for some more concerts. And we were there till the end. He,he, I must say the beginning of the new year turned out fun. There was this band I really liked “Janga69“ ,And I told one of the member, and then he gave me a cd for a present (but that is a secret…hysj ;) And then another guy from another band gave me his drumsticks and I think I have gotten myself a bodyguard now he,he…he surly helps other guys to keep away from me, he,he Wow, I’m sooo glad I have Chika to help me out of these kind of situations…he,he.
Well Chika and Takashi drove me (and Jesus of cause;) home, and now I’m here in this new year, sitting in my appartment AND I AM REALLY HAPPY. HAPPY NEW YEAR
