Trip Back to Grandma's House

Well, I went back to Grandma's House up in Kuzumaki yesterday!

It was soo cold!! I was able to meet Satoko's whole family and had a few drinks with her dad.

We ended up staying over night, and having some really good food. : )

Quite the experience ~

Enjoy the photos



You can see the snow, higher then the car.
Making some tofu snacks.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Years Everyone! I ran off with Satoko, her sister and her sisters friend today to Hachiman-gu. Like all good people, we ran up there, threw our 15 Yen, claped twice and climbed out of line....
Crazy Crazy Crazy.... But not as bad as Narita last year, Just a lot colder...

Enjoy the Pictures

Narita San - Morning

Hey everyones,

I when to a temple today called Narita-san. It was really cool!!! Monks and Smoke and everything ! I followed along with my friends and put my 10 yen into the coin box, clapped three times. I guess it was for praying to the gods at one time, but I think now it's just done for good luck. I was really busy here! But my friend told me that it's crazy busy on the Thirty First of December. ( New Years). I want to check it out......

I wasn't able to take pictures inside the temple.... It's rude and I've only been the country for less then a week. I don't want problems.
