Sunny but cold

As it was unusually sunny, Pinga went out for a walk. It was not windy but cold, 1C degrees. Can you see two horses wearing coat?

Tokyo blues

Not Pingu's day today:
1. It is raining and it is very windy in Tokyo today.

2. The umbrella he bought today broke a couple of hours later and it is still raining.
3. Pingu's work computer is not doing good and it can not be fixed until monday.
4. Due to computer problem he was late and is still in Shinagawa and can not go to Tokiwadai tonight to visit Pinga's parents.
5. Still has not eaten dinner and will now have to do that alone on a Friday.

Tengu

Pingu went to have some drinks after dinner. Tengu is a nice place and the interior is typical of a Tokyo bar. Good stuff. Pingu is drinking a shikwasa sour at the moment.

Sushi nostalgia

Pingu went to eat at his old favourite sushi bar. You stand up and eat by the counter. You can never eat this good or inexpensive sushi in Sweden.

Shimbashi concert

Pingu went to Shimbashi for some dinner. When he arrived there was a huge crowd by the station. The reason was a band playing. You can maybe make the band out by the right edge of the photo.

Double Totoro?

Pinga thinks I'm similar to this animation movie character Totoro. But I don't think I'm as fat as Totoro, am I?

Shinagawa morning

Pingu just woke up in his hotel in Shinagawa, Tokyo. His room is on the 17th floor and it is tidy and nice.

Shinagawa yakitori

Pingu and several colleagues are in Tokyo at the same time so many of them met up at a Japanese style pub and had food and drinks. They will sleep well tonight I think.

Landed!

Pingu has now landed at Narita and is on the Skyliner train to downtown Tokyo. The Narita Express train was stopped due to some accident.

Asparagus from Peru

This is Pinga's dinner today. As Pinga loves asparagus, she is happy to find these asparagus from Peru. She has learned that Peru is the world's leading asparagus exporter. It's oven baked potato, asparagus, tomato, halloumi cheese with tomato sauce. I wonder what has Pingu eaten on the plane.

Pingu is going to Tokyo

Pingu is leaving us at home and going to Tokyo. We want to come too but I guess we will have to wait. I hope Pingu will have fun, even though it is a business trip.

Cottage pie

With the help of Pingu mashing potatoes, Pinga made a cottage pie this evening. Pinga was happy that it turned out ok.

Olof Viktors bakery

On the way back from Ystad, they stopped by to buy breads at Olof Viktors. They didn't have olive bread Pingu and Pinga like but they had a fig bread and saffron buns for this season. They bought a loaf of fig bread, dark bread, saffron buns and cardamon buns.

Ystad beach

The spa hotel Pingu and Pinga have stayed was just by the beach. After they checked out from the hotel, they took a walk along the beach. There were lots of sea weed and birds were eating them.

Schnapps

There were mini bottles of strong Swedish liquor on the table. Both Pingu and Pinga stayed away from them though.

Dinner show

There was a show after the Christmas dinner. The show had a Grease theme to it. They sang very well and their dance moves were interesting. You can see three Elvis and three Marilin on stage on this photo.

Christmas buffet

Pingu and Pinga had nice Christmas buffet dinner with Pinga colleagues. Pingu liked meatballs and Pinga liked salmon dish.

Sleepy...

Pingu and Pinga are awake and preparing themselves to leave for work. I'm still sleepy and don't feel like to wake up. I know it's morning but it's still kind of dark.

Baby clothes

Pingu and Pinga were at a baby section of the store looking for presents to their friend. They were also thinking of their own little baby that will come in spring.

Happy happy birthday

Pingu received this cute birthday card from Pinga's sister and her husband today. Pingu was surprised to find a message in Swedish on the back of the card. Very sweet!
