When I got back to my mother’s place today to repack my bag a postcard from Kuri (and Mash-san) was waiting for me. Kuri is the smallest biggest Raider’s fan in the Universe I think. I believe Mash-san has influenced him a lot, and picked up his Raider’s jersey and helmet.
Happy New Year to you too Kuri and Mash-san and Happy New Year to everybody else too!
To all of you from both of us…
And Happy Holidays for those of you who don’t like the C-word.
This night I visited a friend in Lexe just outside of Gävle, some of you might know him as Haddock. He had totally renovated his kitchen and got a kid since I last saw him.
On the way home I got a ride from another friend. When we passed the famous billy goat of hay in Gävle it was surrounded by firefighters. The only thing left was a blackened wood skeleton and a lot of smoke.
A Santa Clause and a gingerbread man had put it on fire some 20 minutes earlier. The method of choice? Fire arrows. And this years billy goat was no longer; it lasted one week.
Thank you all readers that for the last two years have been reading my diary. As you can see my diary is no longer here. I will no longer update my diary since it was dedicated for my two years in Japan. If you are still interesting in reading it you can find it here.
I hope you will come back here to check out what is happening in my life. The difference from the diary is that I will not update daily but only when something important or fun happens.
Today I went to the Gävle downtown. In one of the bookstores I found a shelf full of Manga, Japanese comic magazines.
In Japan you find anyone from those who just learend to read to those old men in business suit on the subway reading them. Of course they are of different kinds, for kids, for small girls, teens, or adults. Some are even educational.
