Pictures and movies from Tokyo

I might as well come to terms with it sooner than later: I’m not going to get the time to write a long and detailed day-to-day description of what Esben and I saw and experienced in Tokyo.

So I will just post links to Esben’s and my pictures at Picasa., and then include a few videos. First from the party at the start of my stay in Tokyo:

and then me running around like a little kid at the Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation at Odaiba:

Oh, and then election is coming here in Denmark on November 13, so I guess I have to get out in some way or another to promote my favorite left-wing party: Enhedslisten.

The Bunny Got It!

Nephew ended their latest tour yesterday in Tivoli. They had a few guests on stage (Peter Sommer and L.O.C.) and got through a lot of their popular material in great style. The lead singer, Simon Kvamm, got to use all his talents as entertainer – at one point he got into a light sabre fight with a man-sized bunny. In the end the bunny (played by a fan from the crowd) lost the fight and was ‘killed’ on stage by Simon.

Must see…

Nephew i Tivoli på søndag

Jeg har vist været til en del fredagsrock i løbet af sommeren. Har dog ingen planer om at se Nick og Jay i morgen. Men heldigvis er det ikke de to der får lov til at lukke den gamle have i år. Den ære tilfalder Nephew (der vist endelig har fået gang i deres længe ventede samarbejde med Timberland?).

Det er lidt i sidste øjeblik at det går op for mig, men nu glæder jeg mig da til søndag – så håber jeg bare at vejret bliver bedre. Eller i det mindste at det holder tørt.

ps. Hvad sker der for de regnbuefarvede s-tog badedyr på søerne? Er det en mærkelig reklamekampagne jeg ikke fatter eller har jeg misset noget?

Bryllup i Sverige

Jeg var til bryllup i weekenden. Joe og Ingrid blev gift i Sverige – og jeg var med.
Det hele gik fint. De sagde ja til hinanden (og det er vel næsten det vigtigste ved et bryllup?), der blev holdt gode taler (gomens tale til bruden var den bedste), der var generel underholdning, lækker mad og en god fest.

Jeg var smadret dagen efter – om søndagen. Mandag kunne jeg også godt mærke at jeg ikke havde fået alt for meget søvn og min forberedelse kunne nok også godt have været bedre. Om nogle af eleverne bemærkede det ved jeg ikke… men der var ingen der sagde noget.

Lige nu glæder jeg mig bare til snart at få en dag (fredag?) hvor jeg kan sove så længe jeg vil – det har min krop brug for.

Get a haircut, hippie!

Another 3 days of light (and heavy!) drinking come to a halt. (Well, today is not over yet, and my uncle might just be serving a beer or two when I go visit this evening… so make this the start of day four.) Thursday was just a few beers before going to see The Simpsons Movie (for the third time) and to relax after my first day of work.
Friday was a bit more heavy. Our group of five (give or take a few, people seemed to join and leave through out the night) started out drinking a few at The Old English Pub before we went to see Saybia play fredagsrock in Tivoli.

See pictures (not by me or anyone I know) from the concert here: http://flickr.com/photos/m-alo/sets/72157601358584697/

I have never really been a great Saybia fan – and must admit that they had to play more than one tune before I even started to recognise the music. I was not the only one not feeling the full concert vibe, so we headed out of Tivoli and ended up at Den Glade Gris.
After a bit of waiting a live band started playing some nice Rock covers. One hour followed the next and after a while some of the guys and girls started leaving, so the rest of us moved on to Heidi’s to meet some new people. It was hot (as always) and our entire group managed to get thrown out over a quarrel with one of the bartenders. At first he just called the doorman to move one or two of us out, but as the rest of us started to question the logic we were all asked to leave. The doorman of course had to follow the requests from the bartender, but deep down I think he him self could see that it was a bit silly throwing us out. His said something along the lines of “You’r clearly having to much fun” to justify throwing us out. Which makes a lot of sense – usually people come to Heidi’s to sit and be depressed? If I want to have fun, I go out, if I want to be alone and depressed I will stay in my room and watch a wall, Swedish television or something similarly depressing/boring.

Anyway, we moved on, was thrown out of another bar (because they closed, not because of our good spirit) and finally ended up in Lades Kælder.

So, I had hoped yesterday could just be easy and relaxing, but Søren had just returned from a month of inter rail, so when he asked me to a party at his dorm I really could not say no. And as always in the dorm I ended up getting a lot of Harboe gulds and liquor. Long story short, after a lot of heavy drinking at the dorm and a few other places I finally went home from a party (with a bonfire in the back yard and everything) in a collective in Bellahøj.

Lækker fredags rock!

Jeg var inde og høre Rasmus Nøhr og Marie Key Band til fredags rock i Tivoli i fredags! Jeg har længe været rigtig glad for Rasmus Nøhr, men må indrømme at jeg troede Marie Key Band skulle spille for/med Rasmus og ikke var et band for sig selv. Men jeg blev overrasket – glædeligt overrasket!

Så den første time underholdt Marie og band med finurlige tekster, akkompagneret af god musik (og en lille smule twist). Hendes stemme er meget speciel. Jeg ved ikke helt hvad jeg skal sammenligne den med… den lyder måske lidt barnlig, men det er også en dårlig beskrivelse – den skal høres!

Da Rasmus Nøhr endelig gik på kunne jeg godt ærgre mig over at aftenens program ikke var blevet fordelt på to aftener – jeg tror godt Marie Key Band kunne have underholdt længere, og jeg tror også godt Rasmus skulle have fundet noget at bruge en ekstra time på. Men Rasmus startede stærkt ud med et nyt nummer der vist hed “fyr den af” og holdt ellers dampen oppe resten af koncerten! Numre fra hans første 2 albums blev mixed med et par helt nye numre og jeg gik i hvert fald fra koncerten med en følelse af at jeg havde fået hørt alle de numre jeg var kommet efter, lige fra Til min far over Hash eller gas og Ring nu, til Det glade pizzabud og Kysse under stjernerne.

Efter musikken i Tivoli snuppede jeg lige et par øl med de andre, inden vi tog hvert til sit med en aftale om at tage på stranden lørdag. Det blev så ikke til noget da vejret lørdag ikke lige var som vi havde håbet – men sådan kan det jo gå. Jeg fik klaret en del oprydning lørdag, og selvom det jo ikke er lige så sjovt som at tage på stranden så er det jo også meget lækkert at kunne komme rundt i sin lejlighed uden at man skal ligne en af de ynkelig hunde der tvinges til sådan noget “agility træning”

I need a holiday after this vacation!

Today I came home from a five day visit to Amsterdam. The trip did not start out in the best way. One of the guys in the group didn’t catch the plane and had to ride the train to Amsterdam instead – a trip that takes quite a bit longer than the two hours the rest of us had to spend on a plane. On top of that I left Copenhagen with a cold and a bit of fever (properly something I caught in the mud of Roskilde). When we finally arrived the weather was so-and-so and our hotel was located 8 kilometers outside the city center.

All those things aside the trip went well. Except for a visit to the Anne Frank House we didn’t really ‘see’ anything. But for some reason just passing time and letting days pass by is not as hard as it might sound.
I have unfortunately never read the Anne Frank Diary but did know her ‘story’. After visiting her former hiding place, reading it has moved up quite a bit on my mental ‘to do’ list.
