In the evening we got a big surprise in Tokyo… SNOW :-O
Not much, but much more than we got last year when we got no snow in Tokyo during the whole winter.
Bikkuri!!!

Support Tohoku Earthquake Victims!
Do you want to support the victims of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, and at the same time know exactly where the money goes? The Tohoku Donation page was created to do just that, support the victims of the earthquake/tsunami but also enable donators to track where the money goes.
Dinner at Yodakimbo
We were craving nabe tonight and the option was to cook it at home or Yodakimbo. Since both Chie and I had been busy today and we really wanted chicken nabe we chose the Yodakimbo option, which may have guessed from the title 
As always at Yodakimbo the food was delicious and the service was friendly, just as we like it.
STEP Dinner
Today Chie and I joined the Japanese National STEP Committee for a dinner at the Lions. It was a lot of familiar faces from when I worked with STEP in the ISO so it was fun time meeting them again, even though some of them I have met a few times since I left the STEP community.
Oku-san was there as well. I have had quite some contact with Oku-san recently as I have helped him investigate SymbioCity, which is an initiative of the Swedish Trade Council to share knowledge, competence, and solutions about building sustainable cities. Knowledge and competence that Swedish companies have developed during last 30-50 years and applied in various projects around in Sweden, one of most successful so far being Hammarby Sjöstad.
Anyway, back to the dinner… It was OK food and fun company. Though I was a bit tired after a long week.
Dinner at KotoKoto
After preparing for the flea market Chie went to Synergy Center for a Muscle Activation Technique session while I went to “sports town” next to Akihabara. Last weekend I bought a snowboard but of course I forgot to bring my boots so I could not buy any bindings. Today I brought my boots and bought bindings 
I hope I can show some great “live” pictures on the board once I get back to Niseko in the end of February… Stay tuned
In the evening we met with Mina-sensei and went for dinner at KotoKoto. We were one of the first groups to enter the restaurant and the last to leave it. The food was as always great and we had a fun time talking about everything and nothing.
Flea Market for Tohoku
This weekend we have another flea market for the Tohoku area. This time we have a rental space in Naka-Meguro. Chie and I went there in the morning to help setting everything up.
Even though it was a lot of work it went quite fast as there was a lot of people helping out. We also had some time to play around.
