Had mexican lunch with Saori-chan today! Sooo yummy! It's truly becoming Autumn here in Tokyo. Chilly compared to summer-time Tokyo that's way too hot! Hmmm... ^^; After work I did some light shopping. Some DVD and a new cover for the sofa! One pleasant surprise today at the convinience store was that they now offer Starbucks Coffee!!! *yay* But the happiest thing today was arriving home finding a postcard from my dearest! What's written in it? Can't tell you! uhihi! ^*^
Shiawase!! / Kumako

Today when I woke up I had this scary e-mail waiting for me. My sister was chased by a knife-man on a bike in Stockholm when walking home from work!!!! o.O;;; Luckily she managed to escape into a convinience store where the staff contacted the police..., who got there way too late so the knife-man is still loose!!! x_X;;; Reading my sister's detailed story of what happened made me totally boil inside, just like any sister would!! Sure hope they can catch that crazy man asap!! >x<#
Keep those eyes peeled! / Kumako

Busy day today! ...and! I attended a meeting for almost 3 hours! X_x; BUT! It turned out to be pretty cool!! This woman at the meeting was the one and only LUM-chan from "Urusei Yatsura"!! Surprise surprise! I kinda recognized her but wasn't sure why... and when she left the conference room to get something my boss told me!! She even called me "Bea-chan"! *dokidoki* ;)) Now I'm taking time to check the stuff I was presented at the Tokyo Game Show last weekend! Finally! ;)
Lum datcha! ;) / Kumako

Back in Japan and at the office!! Once again there was a slight problem getting to the airport!! But this time it wasn't me oversleeping! ;) The car engine broke down just as we arrived at the gates of the airport!!! What if it would've broken down on the highway a little earlier!! >o<;;; Talk about luck!! Nuff about the scary stuff, today's lunch was real nice! And I found a little heart in the salad. *hehe* Yup, maybe it's far fetched but I got a little ukiuki happy when I spotted it.
Meow! / Kumako

Today was mainly spent in Holland! Just a short day trip visit but it was fun!
Had something really funny for brunch today! Hawaiian toast! *lol* Toast, Pineapple and A LOT of cheese! ;) Couldn't even finish it all... One thing that's pretty surprising here (in Dusseldorf) is that not many people are fluent in English... one of the reasons we ended up with this toast! *lol* ...not much more to say today except that the great weather continues! Sunshine! Sunshine! Sunshine!
Aloha! / Kumako

Attended some fashion show / party today! Interesting set! The theme was old fashioned movie star glamour vs. disco kitch, and in the middle of it all they served Thai food with girls in sari!? *hahaha* They also had a Frank Sinatra look-alike singing his stuff... Anyways, the fun had yet to get starting when my jetlag hit me... got back to my hotel room around 11 pm. *lol* ...which was good, 'cause I got some important international phone calls around midnight! You know who you are! ;) Thankies!! Sleepy... / Kumako

WOOOOOOOOW!! Germany is soooo beautiful at this time of the year and the weather is fantastic! almost 30 degrees celcius and nice breezy winds. They got me a super*nice room with a huge double bed even though I'm all alone. *Lucky* The bathroom is huge too, and the breakfast is super*YUMMY!!!! A large variation of nutritious bread, jam, cheese, ham, cereals, yoghurt, desserts you name it!
Sometimes I really miss this kinda breakfast...
Just like back in Sweden...
Relaxed mode / Kumako

Oh sweet baby Jesus! Today could have ended in a disaster!! I TOTALLY OVERSLEPT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was supposed to take a train to Narita Airport at 06:15 and I woke up at 06:08!!!! Luckily I had packed and arranged everything the night before so I just dashed out. Usually I stay up all night before a flight... mainly because I'm not too keen on flying and by doing that I fall asleep instead. But this time I just couldn't stay awake... so I crashed into neverland and almost missed my flight. Almost! Inhale, exhale... / Kumako

Back from Kyoto and summer-vacay!! I had the best time of my life!! Honestly! All thanks to sweet sweet Jinn, who's actually this month's guest artist!! Tada!! *^0^*
I'll add all the Kyoto diary comments and photos taken while being away the 25th-29th asap! Aaaawww... Got tons of good news to pour over you!! But first I'm leaving for Germany and 5 days of interpret*work (starting tomorrow)! Don't forget to send in those entries for the drawing competition! =9
Happy as can be!! / Kumako
