Winter

So now there is finally winter here in Japan and the christmas decorations has appeared in the stores. The decorations are mostly the same as in Sweden, except that the english greetings varies from Merry Christmas to Many Christmas and such alike.

Because the winter has nog gotten here I was today to Ikea with my tutor and got myself better bed wear, nothing wrong with the blankets I've been using thus far but nice with some real stuff. The Ikea in Japan is exactly as the one in Sweden, about the same floor layout, the same food shops and yhea everything is the same. The only different thing is that here you can buy Glögg that actually has some alcohol in it at the store! Probably not as good as the regular ones in Sweden but it's still Glögg I guess. I also got myself some gingerbread, just because I could.

The thing the japanese people claim to be winter is actually very close to swedish autumn. Its about 10 degrees in the days or less and the trees hasn't even lost all their leaves yet! I have been warned that will get colder to about -1 degree but still that is not that cold. This winter gives me great joy when hearing about all the snow and -10 in Sweden, cant say I miss that at all!
