Been working my ass off ;P. All the pages have been filled up with content now, except for the movie-gallery. There is still a lot to do and so little time. I'm hoping to finish the general parts tomorrow, leaving me with just the tweaking and polishing.

Working on the website
Hey peeps! Recently I have started with the completion of my little website. It is meant to be more of a portfolio site which needs to start bringing in the costumers for commissioned works and other projects. For now it serves as a assignment to bring in some much needed credits that I need to graduate. Now, programming is not my thing, so Flash presents a big challenge for me. Hopefully it will turn out looking spiffy!
Here is a bit of the design, still a wip though ;).
On another note. Countdown has started for the last couple of days I can call myself a student. By the end of this month I will have (finally!) earned that little piece of paper and call myself a Bachelor graduate in Communication and Multimedia Design. That is if I am able to finish my thesis and get the last remaining credits.
Who needs sleep when you can graduate, right?

The end of Japans onsens
Nearing the end of my 4 month stay in Japan I can say that it was a good overall experience. I'm finishing the Interactive Video project for my thesis and results are looking good.
Started packing my stuffs yesterday. Loads of things to dump, more things to keep and a lot to fit into my suitcase. Got most of the presents but will need to do a bit of shopping before heading home.
Here are some pictures from the last weekend trip.
We did 2 onsens as well, and they where amazing. I now understand why Japanese love these.
(Sorry, no pictures of naked lady's in the onsen ;P)
And some more snapshots from the trip...

Nagoya
Living and working in Okazaki, and used the European (night) life style it gets kind of boring after a short while. The closest place for a good time would be Nagoya, 4th largest city in Japan.
A short trip with a rapid train will have you in sprawling Nagoya city center within 25 minutes from Okazaki JR station.
Close to Nagoya station you'll find shops like Big Camera (where I got my laptop) and some of the more red tainted (*wink..wink*) entertainment venues.
Just 2 subway stations away you'll find Sakae, THE hotspot in Nagoya.
This district has department stores, electronic stores, book stores, fashion and pop stores, foods and drink shops, dicso's and bars, Live houses and so on.
Using the tv tower as an orientation point it is kind of hard to get lost, though getting a map (I found a Nagoya guide with map at the subway exit, for free) is most helpfull.
Some of the things I did during my visits to Nagoya:
'Tabe hodai', all you can eat buffy for 1 hour.
You could go and get your own food on a stick and fry them @ your table. Great fun. With 4 people we had (see above) amount of sticks after 1 hour of gorging.
This restaurant is located in the building next to the tv tower, 3rd floor if I remember correctly.
The park that runs trough Sakae hosts live performances on Sundays...
The import store! The perfect place to go shopping if you feel homesick. It imports all the stuff other countries are well known for. Like for instance you will find from Holland: cheese, stroop waffels, chocolate, chocolat spread.
A little taste of home will help you through the long dark periods of Japanese / japanised cusine.
Motown live house / soul bar Garry's:
A taste of the sites and atmosphere in Sakae ...
Some dude in a clown suit promoting something...
Yes they have an apple store..
Did you know that in Japan every city has it's very own designed man-hole covers? These I found in Nagoya:
