Today marks the start of "Tokyo Style in Gothenburg", a kind of mini-festival celebrating the urbanism of tokyo and all the strange things going on there. Should be very exciting. It's a "mini" festival because there's a bigger festival going on in Gothenburg at the moment (which isnt very exciting) called "Göteborgskalaset", i.e. The Gothenburg Festival. Loads of people on the streets doing not much except drinking beer and chatting. The adults sit in pubs/bars and drink and the youth sit outside pretty much everywhere and drink. Same thing every year, gets old fast! But this year is different ;) If you're interested they've put up a blog (several actually, both in swedish and english, blogging from Gbg and Tokyo).

It starts in less than 3hrs. Im heading out there with two friends to check it out, one fellow japanophile and a another who's heard good things about it from other friends (from Stockholm, where the festival started out). Goes on for three days (11-13th aug) and there's loads to do and see, they show anime and japanese movies at a cinema nearby aswell. I've already seen most of the films they're showing so maybe i'll just hang out at the festival. Anyway, you can read more on the site...
I need to rest for awhile,
