Go no Go

The past days I have done nothing but just taking it easy and relaxing at home. My throat started to hurt a lot a couple of days ago so staying at home was the best I could do. I don't want to be sick when I go to Gunma. Yesterday evening I met up with Kana in Shinjuku and she helped me find rubber boots that I need for the countryside. Afterwards we ate dinner and had a coffee/chocolate at starbucks. Starbucks seems to be very popular among the japanese since every starbuck we went to was really crowded.

Today I wanted to go to a Go center in Takadanobaba but when I found out that the fee was 1200 yen, about 90 SEK I decided not to go. I never thought it would be this expensive to play Go in the country that made the game popular all ove the world. Hopefully I will be able to play in Gunma for free.

By the way, the yen has become really strong to the SEK. Just some months ago you could get 1700 yen for 100 SEK, but now you only get 1400 yen. Not good for me at all. If I could only find a nice work here.. it wouldn't be difficult if only my japanese was much better.
