Harro!

I'm back. And today is literally the first day I've had a chance to stop and breathe since October. There have been christmas parties, making a music video spoof - that was fun, baking (believe it or not I have been cooking dinners and making edible snacks. I think living in Japan is finally getting to me), going to a concert of my favourite Japanese band - it was off the chain! And of course the usual hitting the town with friends. On Saturday night a huge group of us went out - 4 gaijin and 16 japanese people. Surprisingly, we ended up in a karaoke booth at 4 o'clock in the morning. Good times. I had just gotten home when Matt called - he had lost his keys somewhere and was locked out, so he stayed the night at mine and we spent most of yesterday staring at the television and being hungover. It was great. Also, it finally started snowing yesterday. It is bloody cold!
Oh yeah, and this is me being Japanese:

This is Steve and Luke wearing Shak masks (long story) drunk in a 24 hour supermarket after the Hagi Christmas dinner that I organised. Good times:)
