26 - 31 Dec. : Tokyo / Karuizawa

I continued visiting Tokyo, strolling around various area, entering stores etc. This city is so fantastic, so many different area and so many stuff to do ... I sometimes wonder how it's gonna be back in Oslo ?

Atsuko, Go & Jeremy contacted me for a trip to Karuizawa.

Fun road trip with good people & very good shopping - I got green shoes amongst other things ! - & fooding in Karuizawa. The sight of snow & lifts makes me want to go snowboarding ...

Welcome to Japan :-) :

lol

It is me or it looks like the name of some evil lady in a bad movie ?

We finished the evening with a Onsen, to Jeremy's great despair - he can't stand the hot water -, and then went back to Tokyo for a delicious Shabu-shabu ( a sort of fondue of meat and vegetables, as good as it sounds funny).

I've also enjoyed my last moments in Komagome, as I heard I'd move to a new place soon. Amongst other things I've been to the Komagome Onsen ( highly recommended ! ) and eat in many restaurants.
