Student Residence: HELMUTSROGATAN

I'm gonna introduce my residence in Göteborg.
Now I am living in a student residence, Helmutsrogatan. In Göteborg, there are many student residences, Olof, Kviberg, Rosendall...
My residence is the most popular one, and a little bit expensive than other residences, because of large room, own kitchen, clean room. In my room, fortunately, there was a lot of staffs left by previous tenant, so actually I don't have to buy the dishes, a mattress, a hairdryer, a toaster, and so on. I could save a lot of money!! Though people say the housing fee in Helmutsro is expensive, it is half the price comparing to Tokyo! About 50000 JPY per month.

Fantastic Japanese Noodles

Today my friend took me to eat sushi in Norrköping. The sushi restaurant named "Kimono" was running by an Asian, not Japanese. Actually, the rice was a bit softer than what I used to eat in Japan, it was like "Ohagi" in Japan. However, it was good!
Ohagi is a Japanese sweets, rice dumpling covered with bean jam.

The last day, my friend in Japan called me and he said "I ate Budoka today." "Budoka" is the Japanese noodle house located in Waseda, Tokyo. It is one of my favorite Japanese noodles. I used to eat it twice in a week. On this August, it started a cold noodles; Tsuke-men. It also tastes fantastic!

Oh, I really miss it. I think when I eat Japanese food in Sweden, it will remind me "Budoka" and I'm gonna miss it. I really addicted to it...

The millionare's philosophy for a happy life

I went on a short trip to Stockholm and Uppsala.
I walked around the cities. I went to Vasa museum and Sweden Book Store located in Gamra Stan, Embassy of Japan in Stockholm. In Uppsala, I visited Uppsala University, a famous university in Sweden, and Uppsala Domkyrka, the largest church in Scandinavia.
Both cities are very historical and beautiful, and the trip was quite nice.

"Stockholm SERGELS TORG"



























"Uppsala FYRISÅN"




























During my trip, I read the book "The millionaire's philosophy for a happy life by Ken Honda." My friend presented me when I left Japan.
I'll write down the impressed phrases that I came across in the book.

"what you like" is more peaceful and calmer (page 73)

if you really think you want to give people a lot, then you would be given a lot (page 82)

what you say at the present makes your future
keep in mind that your words determine your destiny (page 132)


Thanks to my friend!

Start my way to Göteborg!!

Yesterday I arrived at Stockholm, Sweden.
As soon as I arrived at Stockholm, I went to Norrköping, 2 hours South from Stock by train, to visit my friend living there.
She is my neighbor's daughter is married with a Swedish trombonist . She has 2 children, her son is the same age as my little sister, and her daughter goes to kindergarten.
After 10 days stay in Norrköping, I'm going to move to Göteborg (in English, Gothenburg) to study as a international student in University of Göteborg.
