Today I went to an Udonski (it`s probably not spelled like that) restaurant which is basically big fat and delicious noodles boiled in front of you with temporarily live prawns, vegetables and tofu. It was very delicious. In the afternoon I went to the same supermarket three times in the name of browsing. I don`t mind eating the food but looking at it over and over again isn`t my type of thing. I also ate the green tea latte and green tea based jelly sweet you see below. It was delicious.

In the evening I went to Hub pub which is an English bar (in name only) Everything about it is Japanified from the how many people question you get when you enter, the numbered sign you get when ordering food, small portions and a litre masquerading as a liter. I got to drink (even more expensive than usual) guinness so I was okay.

Also it is New Year soon. The Japanese get five days off now from 29th Dec to the second or third of January instead of Christmas holiday and now is the season for cleaning the house in preparation for the new year and writing and sending New Year cards to your friends wishing them the best for the new year. Tomorrow evening I want to go to a temple and see the New Year in by ringing bells, eating chewy boiled rice paste (every year many old people see in the new year by choking to death on it) and watch the sun come up if possible. Tomorrow read how I saw the New Year in in front of the TV. Zanen..
