Autumn greetings

Yeah, autumn is finally coming, even though you couldn't have guessed unless it was for the leaves changing their color. Autumn in Tokyo is far cooler than summer, but that doesn't mean it gets cold like it does in Sweden, it's still at least 25 degrees most days, and humid...

So what have been going down since last time, well I guessed you could say a lot.
I moved from my beloved Ikebukuro to Kita-ayase, that pretty much is in the middle of nowhere, but the  apartment is great non the less, I could never afford a place like this in central Tokyo. Also things have finally cleared up for my bf so he will move in with me next week, can't wait, it's gonna be like living with your best friend! And yes I already know we're gonna fight over stuff like cleaning since I slightly believe in organized chaos and he is a complete neat freak lol. Luckily we have both pretty much accepted each others flaws by now.

I've also finished the intermediate level in my language school and will start the advanced level next week, both excited and a bit worried. But at least class MUST be more fun now than it has been the last 6 months, no more Minna no nihongo books. They were OK for beginners level and the start of intermediate but after that, NO.
And on the 25th we're gonna go to Hakone with school, really looking forward to it since it will be my first time going there!

Also I applied to a technical college today where I hope I'll be able to study high class hotel service. I'm faaar from sure I can get into that school, you need to pass an interview and a language test, but I would really regret it if I didn't at least try.

And soon it's my birthday, so I'm gonna throw a home party for once. I will also be joined by 3 of my best friends from Sweden who're coming to visit me for 2 weeks, so excited! We're gonna have so much fun, izakaya, karaoke, random craziness in Tokyo to put it simple.

I don't know why but lately I've felt more culture clashes between Sweden and Japan than normally, maybe a sign that I'm being dragged into japanese society on a deeper level than what I've experienced so far, it's a BIG difference just living here having fun and REALLY living here, hard to explain but I guess it's just about getting deeper into society.

Well this turned out to be far longer than I had intended, but here take some pics from my camping in the mountains last month, over and out~
