Notice anything new...?

...yes, some of you may guess what has happened now from this yellow fellow ("Daruma").

2 days ago I became officially graduate student of Helsinki University of Technology...which means that this friend with one eye is going to stare me until I put the doctor hat on my head. On that day his efforts will be rewarded by giving him the second eye also. (^_^)b Let the journey begin...

New Year's Sumo Tournament

Here some pictures and videos from the tournament as I promised. I'll add some text later...now want to sleep. ZZZZzzzzZZzz

Exam period

Hehe, "exam period" starting soon...more precisely on Tuesday. Not funny. Two exams on that day. After that I'll have all my courses for credits done here. So rest of the time is for research (and of course have to write a thesis...again...what a pain in the ass those are). At least I didn't leave everything for the last evening... xP

Lots of videos and pics will appear here from the grand sumo tournament after I have time look trough them. And now nose back into the books!

Train line down

Luckily I have two ways to get home when the main way to school and especially to judo dojo is down. The Den-en-toshi line, which takes me everyday to school, was not working tonight. I was not the onlyone using the secondary route...

Was late from judo so that I had only 40min. for training, including warm up. But feel great now! Full of energy again! xD

oh btw, doctor took today 10ml liquid out from my knee and it felt...mmmmrrgh...let's just say that ordinary blood sample taken from arm is like eating candies compared to this. (>.<)

Chanko keeps you going

Ate just chanko, the daily food of sumo wrestlers. 美味しいです。 How many bowls of this meat and vegetable soup they have to eat every day...?!!

Time to take a nap.

SNOW is staying for the night!

Hehee, incredible! The snowing turned into a rain this afternoon but still there's snow on the ground. ＼(^_^ )／

Wonder if Israel would like to experience some snowfight at this hour...

Welcoming party

Today there was welcoming party for new international students of Tokyo-Tech. It was held in our campus and naturally all 'old' international students were invited. Hehe, timing was perfect. Dinner time and just after gym training. My stomach is still full from all delicious sushi. Njam.

Now on my way home...working hours are growing and days in the lab getting longer again...BUT no worries, tomorrow I'll make it up and stay out from the lab the whole day. Have to get the brace from the clinic and see some sumo finally.

...Although it would be economically wiser to stay in the lab as much as possible. In these months our gas and electricity bills are 3 times higher than usually. o(>.<)o
