Final practice (February 28)

3 month have actually come to an end… and I feel sad… but at the same time happy, it’s a very strange feeling. Today I did my last football freestyle practice in Japan. The following freestylers wanted to show their respect through joining my practice:

- Naga-Nori
- Toyama
- Nori
- Takuya
- Lyu
- You

Thank you all…

My legs were heavy already before the practice but I wanted to do this anyway… it was amazing and we stopped at 03.30am, then the guys came back to my apartment to talk, chill and just takin it easy. Around 05.00am they went to shibuya station.

Once again it feel sad to leave everybody behind, but you all know I will be back… hehe!!!

In around 19h my flight departures from Tokyo, and guess what… I still didn’t recieve my ticket home to Sweden, so in worst case scenario I will be stuck in Schiphol for X hours/days before I can get back… we’ll see what happens!

Asakusa (February 25)

I will try to summarize this day with a picture…

Goku (February 24)

Nori and Goku slept at my place today… as you probably already know the place in the bed was for Goku! So Nori had to sleep on the floor, but according to him he prefer the floor anyway!

In the morning I got really surprised when I found a coin in my nose… first I was a bit confused but quickly I changed into being happy, I mean it’s not everyday you will get paid from your nose!

we fooled around this day but eventually we got hungry, and in the restaurant they had a very important rule, the “nori rule”. Food was good, rules were good… nice dinner!

After finishing the food I think I saw the most ugly person I’ve ever seen… he was more ugly then a rectum and poo together… I managed to capture him on the phone!

I was surprised and disgusted when I saw him… you’ll understand why!

I think this pic wll be the end of today… thanks!

Cow Tounge (February 23)

Dear diary,

today it was my turn to suffer a trauma… Palle, Nam, Nori, Toyama, Hayato and more guys went eating at a japanese restaurant. The first dish served were… COWTOUNGE!!!!!

Cow Tounge was actually alright, and I ate more then one… but the thought of actually chewing a tounge in my mouth were strange… but the taste was tight, so aight!

After this we actually went eating even more… Palle, Nori, Toyama, Nam and Hayato!

After Nam finished his dish he were told that he just broke a japanese rule… the clean rule! So he had to lick it clean for not eating everything in the bowl. Me, I always eat everything and then I control my cleaniness with some japanese fellow!

After this Nori and Toyama came to my place and we stayed up until 7am or sumin and we had good time discovering the POWER of MSN!

Spicy (February 22)

Today Nori almost passed away… we had to call the ambulance, but before this me and Nori had a nice dinner!

After this we went different ways but later Nori and Toyama came to my apartment to watch some DVDs and eat some snacks. Unfortunatly we bought poison and Nori almost died…

When you will see the package of the snacks you will understand… well, this is how evil it looks like!

We called the ambulance and after some turbolence everything was ok… me and Toyama were immune against the posion and ate the snack without problems, Nori were angry because he had suffer a small trauma!

Salomon and Red Bull (February 20)

Today we had a performance in a snowboard exhibition for Salomon and red Bull. The performance was in the back of a truck, not a very big space but it was different and I liked it! The crowd was harder then usual because they were all snowboarder and most of them were just drinking their free Smirnoff chatting to their homies… but it was sweet anyway!

The performance took place in Yokohama and on the train back to Shibuya my new friend was very tired, so he decided to take a little nap!

We were doing some freestyle skills, playing street fighter and trying to imitate freestyle legend “Abdullah”. Big props to him, he’s like THE HULK… so strong!

I was a bit sad I wasn’t as good or strong as him… but I moved on, me and Nori went eating to get some energy… then we fooled around with the ball and then we went to sleep!

Good Night!

An adventure (February 18)

When I woke up I had no idea what was about to happen later this day… Nori and Toyama stayed at my place so when we woke up we did a little mini good morning practice outside… once again I was amazed by unseen tricks and amazing control by sitdown master Nori!

When I pulled my jaw together we went back inside for some sandwiches. Then Toyama became the 2nd man to clean my toilette… he thought it was so dirty that he just had to clean it, I didn’t really complain about it… I just wanted to capture this moment:

I was in search for a playstation3… so why not go to THE electonic city of the world, Akihabara. I was quite disappointed because I thought it would be much cheaper then in Shibuya, but it was kinda the same price. Maybe I just didn’t know where to look or Akihabara isn’t much cheaper then rest of Japan… they are definitely ahead of rest of Japan though!

In Akihabara Toyama got hungry and bought Takoyaki!

You don’t really see it in this picture, but Toyama don’t like Tako(squid). So he make a small surgery on the takoyaki and remove the tako… I think Toyama might be the first japanese I meet that doesn’t love sushi!

We returned to Shibuya and went to Noris “apartment”… we didn’t do much really, just hanging around. When we decided to go we couldn’t find the key. We started to search the apartment, I felt a little bit like Nicholas Cage in National Treasure actually. I kept giving the guys advices that Mr. Cage would have given, such as “Look on obious places guys” or “Close your eyes and try to remember”. I think the search went on for almost an hour… I wanted a piece of paper to make some calculations on where to search, so I asked my assistant Toyama for paper and when he lifted the paper from the table Nori found the key… under a piece of paper. Mr. Cage were correct… a very obious place… I mean, what an adventure. This is what Japan is all about!!!

Cowabunga (February 17)

Sorry once again for the slow update… but this time I got a decent reason! I didn’t have internet connection in my apartment for a couple of days!

Anyway… today we had another Red Bull performance, this time in Shibuya… it went alright!

After the performance we went to some restaurant, but it was full so we had to wait in the stairs outside for like 15 mins, so then me and Nori decided that we wanted to have pizza instead.

Nori, Palle, Toyama and Hayato were all very happy for the new choice of restaurant… food was tiny but very good!

Good Fun (February 14)

Today I did pretty much nothing… exept being judge in a radio program=)

After this I were chillin with Nori and Toyama… great guys and good freestylers! We grabbed some burgers and refilled our petrol… after this we headed back to my apartment, we were checking out videos, pictures, talkin’ trash and had some good fun… at 05.00 it was time to sleep!

DVD Editing (February 13)

Today me and Nam went to Japanese London(LONLON) to look at what will come… there will be a little DVD made of our trip to Japan. Footage are looking good but it was only a VERY rough edit so I have no idea what it will look like when it’s done… but it has a lot of potential!!!

We were there for a very long time but I enjoyed it alot!
