Today, since the weather was lovely, Mica came up with the great idea that we should have a picnic somewhere!
And so, we went and bought a couple of macarons and muffins, and brought some coffee, tea and a blanket to a park near our university. There we met up with Mica's sister and our friend Emelie, and together we sat down in the warm sun. It was only 5 degrees celsius outside, but as long as we were in the sun it still felt great. Unfortunately, a building soon blocked the setting sun... >_<;;
We brought along Miku, who was quite scared (but curious!) about everything, since she's an indoor cat. After exploring the vicinity of our picnic-area, and trying to hunt a blackbird, she decided to climb on all of us.
As soon as Spring decides to hurry up and truly get here, we'll hopefully get to do this more often. ^_^
Enjoy the sunny weather, everyone!
First picnic of 2011
Göteborgs Kulturkalas/ Culture Festival 2010
Friday the 13th, Zepheline headed downtown to check out Gothenburg Culture Festival 2010. The main reason for our outing was to see a friend be in a presentation of the fall theatre schedule at the city theatre, but before going there we had some time to kill.
Earlier, we had seen that a local museum was going to have an exhibition called Kimono Fusion
, and they were going to have a tent along the main avenue. We decided to check it out, and ended up staying there until we had to run to the theatre.

When we got there, Mica realised that she knew one of the people working there from the local Hikari-kai. We talked alot and got recruited to work for ConFusion in january, and generally had a blast hanging out with all the people there. The top image in this post was drawn by artist Lisa Harald in about 7 minutes, and colored by Mica. Left to right: Mica, our friend Joel, and Tsuki.

This young man was the younger brother of Lisa. During our stay at the tent, he had been assigned the task of handing out flyers for Kimono Fusion; something that he apparently took very seriously. He handed out every flyer they had, and after that poceeded to chase us around (especially Mica).
There's a video of this for those interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq9SY4hzveo
Altogether, it was a truly great day!

Vacation
I'm currently staying in Valencia with my father, and will return home on the 30th of May.
When I came here in the beginning of april, I wanted to explore the city more thoroughly than I did during my last visit, and I remembered a shop that I wanted to check out. After checking its' name online and finding the adress, I walked with swift steps through old Valencia until I got to the spot, but it wasn't there. I checked online again, it was supposed to be there; I wasn't mistaken.
Sighing, I checked the internet for any similar shop, and I found two. Next day I went to check them out, and they were gone too. What kind of shops, you ask?
Alternative clothing.
In the year since my last visit when I didn't have the time for shopping, all three stores had closed. This is yet another reminder to not put off doing something you like, because sometimes the chance disappears. At least this was a more gentle reminder than the passing of my friend earlier this year...
Until next time!
