random pics, talk and a party

today there was a farewell party of Michele Kong and an artist talk by Pat Warner at Youkobo which was really nice event. Makes one treasure this time here even more when you realise how nice the community of artists and people here are. We forgot our camera to our flat so Ill add the photos a bit later once I get them from souliam (artist from Laos at studio B)....



the ice cream selection in our fridge is few in tastes but far from european choices: 3 different types of matcha-ice cream....mmmmm! at the moment: 1. soy... 2. häagen-dachs... 3. the 3rd one...why theres no such thing in Finland?

nice poster for tea freaks like me...this was somewhere in roppongi area

horse sashimi...

the best and only good espresso so far in japan...in our new most favourite area: Nishi-Okigubo thats actually the closest JR-station from here. Alicecafe (inspired by the fairytale but very cool minimalistic deco...) was south from Nishi-Okigubo- JR station. We usually just take the bus to Okigubo station that is closest to Shinjuku (the worlds busiest station with more than 3 million visitors per day) from here by Chuo line. Theres a few different types of trains that go on the line and there are 3 different train/metro comapnies that do tokyo public transport and buses on top of that.
Nishi-Okigubo had the most cool places, this is one of the weird ones...(from finnish perspective)... a bar named after a Kaurismäki-movie, Juha. It was all full of posters of his movies and stuff. we have to check it later. There was another interesing one called Zen Pussy but the girls were having a band practice when we were entering (we though it was 2nd hand cloth store but it is a bar as well). Ill definitely post more photos 'cause we will be back to our new home in tokyo! Its just short bikeride from the residency.
