Irmã de coração

In Copenhagen we got a chance to meet up with our very special Brazilian friend Luecia, whom we hadn't seen for two years. Catching up whilst indulging in a goat cheese & watermelon salad is just as perfect as perfect can be. It felt like we hadn't been apart for a minute.

A short update

Everything here is well.
We just spent a great weekend in Tokyo that included crazy architecture, French gourmet, Brazilian company and clubbing in the expat district, Roppongi.
In Roppongi we also visited two huge shopping complexes. One of them, the one month-old Midtown Tower has the tallest building in Tokyo Prefecture (248 m.), and the other, Roppongi Hills, is the one with the spider sculpture.

There was another Earthquake this weekend, but we did not notice it...it was probably too far away - or maybe we could not differ between what was hangovers and what was earth shaking.

Now we are back in Koriyama where the cherry trees are in full blossom and they are definitely as beautiful as expected. Unfortunately, the weather is terrible, so walking under the trees includes raincoat and gloves! Not our idea of spring.

Henrik shows the signs of a flu and is trying hard to avoid having to bear the infamous white mask.

Our program this week is rather tight, but we will try to update the blog again by the end of the week.

Fab Food

This weekend we had a small break from Japanese food. Saturday the sun was leaving more than 20 degrees on the balcony, which inspired us to fire up our Brazilian barbeque for the very first time. We even managed to make Feijao Tropeiro. Delicioso!
Many thoughts were sent to our Brazilian friends that day. We miss you.

Sunday we tried to make our own little Easter lunch, with ryebread, colored eggs, snaps, and Danish cheese. Many food items and lots of people was missed, but sure, the taste of ryebread for the first time in a couple of months was heavenly :-)
