yumi, yumi's friend yuh yuh, yuh yuh's roommate chris, and myself at monkey park with a monkey!holy cow. christmas, new years....japan! christmas was great. as most people can tell, i love christmas and i love being around my family. christmas eve was great, trivial pursuit was quick (although each year i start to answer more and more questions), video games were played, and family that wasn't physically there was in my thoughts (in michele's case she was in my computer!). christmas day was filled with more family and friends, good food, a dog (don't worry, not mine), a christmas story, and relaxation. my time of relaxation wasn't very long though. two days later i was off. 13 hours on a plane all the way to tokyo, japan to visit my roommate yumi. 10 days of awesomeness. it was so great. i got to see shrines and temples, walk through the imperial palace (which only happens 2 days out of the year) get to know yumi's family, learn some of the language (alright, not that much. geez japanese is hard), meet yumi's friends, site see around tokyo, experience the night life, and eat great food. omg it was really an amazing trip. new years is very big in japan. we had a great night filled with yumi's friends, a jazz bar, and lots of dancing. then i was able to go to the Meiji Jingu shrine which is a shrine for the new year. i just got back yesterday so i'm still jet lagged, but it was definitely worth it. japan was amazing and sooooo much fun. these are some pics to prove it!
