Land i sikte
Båt måste vara det mest ultimata sättet att resa. Vi transporteras i realtid och skymtar land som en hägring borta vidi horisonten som långsamt tar form. Efter 10 dagar till havs med tropiska nätter, glimrande stjärnhimlar, delfiner och flygfiskar, korallrev och en hel del sjösjuka (dock inte för egen del) så går vi nu åter […]
Grasshoppers in teriyakisauce and Pokémon-sushi

Min kära home-stay
Oj oj oj vilken helg. i fredags fick vi äntligen träffa våra home-stay föräldrar som man varit både pirrig och förväntansfull inför.

Welcome reception i Ibaraki (video)
Welcome reception i Ibaraki. Mycket surrealistisk upplevelse att gå Eriksgata in i bankettsalen där alla våra värdfamiljer väntades oss. Smattrande fotoblixtar och tal tal tal tal. Sedan uppträdande av oss, Salomonöarna och denna fantastiska japanska grupp Yosokoo-dansare. /Raja Bahari

Conquering the cold – the Japanese way
It is early morning in my host family’s house. The only reason I am awake this hour is of course because of the jet lag. I am lying on the mattress on the floor in my room that has no other furniture than a chair and a rug carpet covering the floor. It is freezing […]
