14 Posts in One! (for real)
But today I feel like writing something. So what I'm going to do is that I'm not going to write in depth about anything in particular about the last month, just put a summary here so I actually catch up with time!
So let's jump back about a month in time, starting from christmas.
091224 Christmas Dinner at Tobbe's place
091225 Ice Skating in Akasaka > Dinner > Karaoke
091229 Bowling!
091230 Mom arrives in Japan, Shibuya, Harajuku,
091231 New years eve!
Not really particularly celebrated here, we had dinner in my guest house and I went to sleep around 1o clock. There were no fireworks at all. People here celebrate the days after by going to shrines and temples.
100101 Ooden onsen, Odaiba
Passed Asakusa on the way to get a touch of the new year celebrations
Catched the boat from Asakusa pier to Odaiba
And finally reached our destination the Ooden onsen
This place is just fantastic. It has everything. I would recommend anyone going to Tokyo to go to this Onsen, even if you are just staying for a short while. You get dressed in a Yukata and then roam around freely and do whatever you like. We tried a sand bath and something called Dr. Fish. Basically this is small fishes eating dead skin of your feet. And you have to sit still. Pure terror. Screamed like a 5 year old before i finally got used to these disgusting small things.
After this we went to Roppongi and watch the night view of the city from Mori tower.
100102 An Audience with the Emperor
No shit! Spawns 2 times a year, HNM
The usually closed part of Tokyo Imperial palace gardens opens up for people whose family does not heritage from a god. In other words the common public. And it's not with a small amount of security this happens. They even asked my mother what her chewing gum's were, when they obviously looked like normal chewing gums and couldn't be anything else.
The amount of people this happening draws is just crazy. Calling it religion wouldn't be too far from it.
After waiting for actually not to long. Behind sniper rifle/rocket-lanucher/nuclear bomb-proof glass he appeared!
Held his speech and just left. But you could feel the aura. This is probably, even though he has no political power, the mightiest person I've seen with my own eyes. And I've seen Michael Jackson!
100103 IKEA!!!
Self explanatory!! Pimp my room. Then some standard Izakaya.
100104 Koegawa
100105 OKO-NOM-NOM-NOMI-YAKI
Japanese style "do it yourself" pancakes!
100106 Ueno Zoo, Tokyo Tower.
100107 Hakone!
Wow~
100108 Yokohama
After we went to Yokohama we decided to end my mothers visit with a proper dinner in form of Wagyuu at a restaurant in Asakusa. This ended up the most expensive dinner both me and my mother have ever had. But if you read about it, I'm sure you will find it interesting: Wikipedia-Wagyu
Did it live up to the price? Well, It was possibly the best meal I had in my whole life, so I guess the answer is yes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then my mother went back to Sweden and I got busy with this:
I'm bashing this game to death, had nothing gotten in my way I would have finished it in 1 week to 100% Not kidding. But I save my whining to other game forums.
Then school started and its one insane jump in level. But its all good i guess. Going to try for the Level 2 JLPT test this summer.
There you go, all the 14 post I thought I would write in 1. =)

Nice post. I guess your mother really enjoyed the trip.
Nice comments Mark:) The fish treatment was very effective - ask Mikael. They did not only eat the dead skin...
We did have two plates of extra meet at the dinner. You can buy it at Hötorgshallen, 2000 SEK/kg frozen. But it was good, my last evening and the YEN bills did not look like real money!! The Tokyo trip was fantastic.
