  • Meija shrine girls

    It is common to see girls dressed in traditional Japanese dresses at the Meija shrine in Tokyo. These nice girls let myself and some Australians I met in the crowd take their photo.

  • Medal for traffic

    I was awarded a medal at work for sending traffic to our company website. The medal tasted pretty good 🙂

  • Virgin pilot

    Ever wondered how bad someone looks the first time they fly a plane, and without any instruction? Well here’s my rather pitiful attempt. I crashed it again about an hour after this clip was taken and am about to go buy some replacement parts this afternoon to repair the damage! Fingers crossed my flying improves soon 🙂

  • Rainbow Bridge

    View of the Tokyo Rainbow bridge. I took the photo from the Tokyo Tower.

  • Hjelp fra Jan

    I had Jan check over some sentences I wrote which I knew were incorrect. Here are the results.

    My version …

    Jeg har blitt veldig opptatt hele uke.
    Jeg skal ikke blir så opptatt nå.

    Jan’s improved version 🙂

    Jeg har vært veldig opptatt hele uken.
    Nå fremover blir jeg ikke så opptatt

    At least I can tell when something is wrong, even if I can’t work out what 🙂

  • Tokyo city at night

  • Rikugi-en lions

    I watched a traditional Japanese lion dance thingy at the Rikugi-en gardens in Tokyo. The lions seem to enjoy biting the heads of small children who promptly started screaming. I assumed they would stop on realising the kids were petrified, but no, they just kept on pretending to bite the kids. Very strange.

  • Norskkurs lekser fra helgen

    Jeg dro på skitur til Skjennungen i skogen nær Oslo.

    Det var første skitur for meg. Jeg gikk veldig sakte.

    Det vær veldig flotte jenter med meg. De hjap meg med å gå på ski.

    Jeg brukte lang tid på ski turen. Neste gang skal jeg ikke gå så sakte.

    Vi bodde i en søt liten hytte i skogen. Det var mye snø rundt hytta.

    Vi fyrte opp i peisen og kokte opp mye mat til middag.

    Vi spilte kortspill “Idiot” og snakket norsk.

  • Først skitur

    Jeg hadde min først skitur i helgen. Jeg var litt dårlig på ski, men jeg skal bli bedre neste gang 🙂
