...Sjekk ut det her Mamma,æ har laga kjøddkagår=0)

Wow I did it, for the first time in my life i made the homemade norwegian speciality "Kjøddkagår i brunsaus og poteter og kålrabistappe" ,(Meatballs in brown sauce potatos and something yellow).
Since Øyvind and Hilde and their family is moving back to Norway this friday,they gave me some real norwegian bags of brown sause and kålrabistappe (and a washing mashine, a stove, a wacum cleaner, a mosquito-killer and lot's of other nice things), but since I all of a sudden had some norwegian potesial food in the house I desided to make a real norwegian sunday dinner for my very very good friend here who is moving to Canada in two weeks:(
So yes. I had no recipe,so I just tried to remember how the danish-meatball-expert,me and my familys neigbour, Jens Jørgen make them look like. Hmm..so I bought some meat, and some danish "potetmel", and I cut some onion and mixed it alltogether with an egg and some pepper,and I made a little prayer "Please God make them taste good".He,he..It was really fun. And they turned out pretty well I think.Not as good at Moms' and Grandmas' but really nice.
He,he...funny.

This last week of mine


Well this is how my last week has been.It's been great! Well first take a look at this great picture of Øyvind,he,he..It's from the "loppermarked" the absolutt amazing Haraldseid familie had last sunday just to get rid of the last things in their house before they're moving back to Norway after 12 years in Japan,bu-hu...But look at his great t-shirt he has, because you see... "It found it".
On saturday, I spent the day with my amazing friend Chika. We were supposed to go skating, but it was raining so we have to do that another day. So we went to eat Okonomiaki, a kind of japanese food that I really really like...mmmm OIIISHI.It's like this. You order a bowl of food and you make it yourself on the warm table.So we sat there for a long time, just enjoyed and talked and took alot of pictures. We bouth love to take pictures so yea pictures pictures pictures..when we were going Chika took out something really intersting from her bag,...like this makeup paper that suck up the fat on the skin, hajimete mitta(first time I have ever seen...funny..;)
Then we went to eat ice cream but stopped at a dog shop first and playes and played with this amazingly cute dog that became happyer and happyer and funnier and funnier and we took a lot of pictures and laught and laught..I LOVE DOGS!!!!I WANT ONE!!!We ate ice cream and then we went to rent some dvds that we were going to watch some days later. We had a great day as we always have when we're hanging out.She is shurely amazing.
On Monday, I desided to take a one day trip to a city called Koriyama that's one and a half hour away with the bus. I came there and met some people in a shop I met last time I was in that shop too.It was great seeing them again and I'll probably see them again next time I go there too.We talked for a while and had some fun, then I moved on and met some guyes in a skateshop.Well that was kind of weird, because I wasn't really on the right way, and was just about to turn, the I saw some guyes with skateboards hanging outside the shop...and I was happy to se a skateshop so I went in and hanged around there for a while and we talked and found out that we knew some of the same people in Iwaki, the city I live in, so that was fun.I walked a little around and met one of the guyes again together with a new guy.had a little fun, bought some shoes,finally,and went back to Iwaki with the bus. The day after I took my board and skated away to deliver a dvd I had rented and watched. I came up close to the "Book Ace" as the place is called. I saw a shop on the way and desiced to go and have a look. He,he, and funny, there was a cute lady that said "Konnichi wa" to me...I knew I had been talking alot to her before, but I couldn't figure out where..But the she told me ,and I soooo remembered."She works in a Tofu shop that I have really really love. They have tofu ice cream, and the only place they have tofu ice cream in Iwaki, so I have been there some times;)And she is always som amazingly great. So yea I met her in this shop that turned out to be a piercing shop that her sisters kid worked or owned. I talked with them for a while and they asked we were I was heading, and before I knew what was happening, one of the girls in the shop had offerd to return my dvd and to of the guyes in the shop drove me down to the city to echos, the skate shop that I really really like...Well I would just like to call that Gods funny present for me that day, he,he.
On thuesday me and Chika had a panda-movie night. well we never got to eat the panda cookie that she had bought,they were too cute...well we're eat it next movie night:)
On wednesday I went skating with alot ot great echos-people in the night, Well I didn't really skated alot this day,I was a little shakie this day, but I ended up talked alot with people and that was great.
Hey wait a minute...on wednesday it was "17 Mai", I didn't forgot, so for all of you norwegian. I just want you to know that I ate the "17 of may-icecream" too...(of cause the tofu icecream from the cute ladys tofu shop).

ECHOS


Hello all you people out there. You just gotta see this.
This is the coolest skateshop in the world!It's called "ECHOS" And I am so lucky to live very very close to it here in Iwaki in Japan.
It's just amazing.So omoumasu!!! That's what I think. Well you know, there is plenty of cool skateshops on this earth, and I don't think it's possible to compare every singel one and find a vinner, because every singel one is unique in their own way.
But this shop has the most important thing that a skateshop should have,and that's why I like it so much. And that very important thing is a very good fellowship.Yea these people behind this shop is soo kind,amazing, creative and talented in alot of areas,just check out their homepage here..
www.echos88.com
I just felt like showing it to everyone that I possibly can, so I took some pictures for you to enjoy.

Golden week

What a great week.It has been "Golden week" and japanese all over japan has had a little hollyday. I have done alot. Well where shall I start. Hmm...I can't explane everything, so I'll try to keep in short.

Under here you see some picture of my friend Motomu and I wisiting his sister and her husband and their child(that is still in the mothers whomb;) I don't remember the name of where they live, but it's like an hour from Tokyo. It was sooo great. They drove us to a very very nice cute city that is known for amazing mocca icecream(because John Lennen was there once, and he said so). We ate this amazing icecream and I agree with John, it tasted very Oiiishi:)
We walked in Church street and had a little fun with Mona Lisas head.
Then we went to eat "Shyab shyab"...very good and nice. I love the japanese style of eating...alot of food on the table and everyone is just sharing.
We went to their house and played with Masa-san's samurai and kendo "toys", and the day after,before we went back to Iwaki we took a trip to Asakusa, that is a typically tourist area..












My good friend Jun is moving to Australia on thuesday so we had some quality time together before he is leaving...here we are playing tennis,(he,he) in the rain...VERY VERY VERY NICE!!




Debbie and I desided to have some quality time together too in the "Golden week" so we took a one day trip in Koriyama, our main gold was to drink some Starbucks Coffee,mmmm wow amazing Coffee.It was great. We also met Eiichi and the drummer in his band just right before we had to take the bus back to Iwaki. A great trip.
