2012 is coming to an end in a few weeks!
In Japan, the January 1st new year is quite an important date for us, as it’s our biggest celebration of the year. We have X’mas and New Year holiday, and people get off work for about 1-2 weeks after Christmas. The first 3 days of January will be a time for us to eat traditional osechi ryouri and visit relatives and have greetings. We also visit the shrine on January 1st and purchase our goshinya and ema (amulet with animal of the year) to put up in the house. Just like Chinese New Year, we have animals representing each year and next year will be a ‘Snake’!

Around this time is winter in Japan and it’s cold! After spending so much time in Malaysia’s weather, it was quite a shock to experience the winter season again in Japan, but it was fun! I had an opportunity to do many things and enjoy the different offerings during this trip. I do miss living in a four season country where each season offers new and different foods and items and of course weather.
And so with my wish to all of you for Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, I would like to post our January 2013 schedule!
