Lasts and firsts

And we're back.
We got in yesterday and we actually had a pretty pleasant first day back.
We went grocery shopping together, and after not having cooked in a month, i made dinner for us and my parents, who came by to drop off the best dog in the world.
After they left, the three of us fell asleep on the couch while snuggling and watching a bad alien abduction movie.
Awesome.

This morning was pretty great too.
Neither of us had any real jet lag, and while Allan drew up a sleeve, i did the laundry, made us bento lunch and prepared this evenings dinner.
But this idyllic state didn't last.
As soon as we left for work, shit started hitting the fan and it didn't stop.
Deals that was made a long time ago were broken, money issues just kept piling up.
The shop not being finished didn't exactly help either.
So while i may have appeared to be working, walking and riding a bike, i've been in a mental fetal position all day.
Lets hope tomorrow will... i can't even finish that, tomorrow is just gonna be more of the same shit.
I'm just gonna continue to post pictures from Japan and pretend i'm still there!

Last (real last) day.
We had breakfast in Koenji and then we walked all day.
In Shibuya, Harajuku and Kichijōji.
Everywhere we went was crowded, but we didn't mind.
Somewhere around Cat Street a hairdresser came out of his shop to take our picture, and we ended up having a photo session right there in the street.
Fun!
It happened again on Omotesando when this really cute couple asked to take our picture.
Allan took theirs too.
It was an almost perfect day, exactly what i needed.

Such a magical day, it was so hot i finally got to wear my new shorts (they're awesome, i hope Allan has pictures)
For our real (for real this time) farewell dinner with the guys we had Yakiniku
The meat isn't my real favorite at these places, the crispy nori is
Next day, early morning, Koenji was completely dead thanks to Golden Week (we even got a seat on the train)

The trip home was fine, i didn't sleep much and that was fine too.
I watched Avatar on the tiniest screen in the world, and although entertaining it wasn't exactly mind blowing without the 3D.
There was a woman and her kid sitting in front of us, and the kid kept dropping his toy cars into our section.
He'd have them drive on the armrests, and eventually they'd slide down and land on my foot or in my hand luggage, or on the floor.
For some reason, probably because we weren't tired, it didn't bother us, we'd just laugh and hand the cars (or in one instance, a train) back.
The mom kept trying to close the space between the seats, but they always found a way in.

More Japan photos to come soon.
Some of food, some of crap i bought, and lots of random fun stuff.
Maybe even some tattoos for the other blog?
I promise i'll keep the whining about Denmark to a minimum (i've been complaining on Twitter all day, so hopefully it's just about out of my system) and try to find something fun to focus on instead.

Ps. Hello to all the new followers who started following while i was either in Japan or in the air somewhere, nice to meet you!
