2009ねんあけましたあ
今年もよろしくね
Happu new year, everyone
How have you spending time on new year's day??
Today, I was sleeping in the morning and then I had a work even if new year day
Anyway,last night was really fun
Yesterday, we went to UBC. (UBC is a huge university )
Because UBC has a Japanese garden which was made by Inazo Nitobe and nearby the garden, they have a
bell which we can ring
At first, I was really exciting about new year event in Vancouver because my image of new year night in Western countries were fancy, showy and great
However, here in Vancouver, they don't have such a big event which I was imagining before I came here, unfortunately...
and also I was eating "Toshikoshi soba"
(Soba is a traditional Japanese noodle and we have a habit to eat soba on new year's eve to wish hapinesses of next year)
Then, I drank Amazake for the first time in my life.
(Amazake is a sweet hot sake and we have a culture which we drink on new years day)
It was nice
Eventually, I had a Japanese-style new year even if I'm in Canada
haha
I must be love my country
The thing what I'd like to achieve this year is losing weight(until going back Japan if possible!!!)
Anyway, happy new year
and have a great year, everyone
