My x-mas vacation is finally here. 2 1/1 weeks paid vacation.. sweet. Today was my last day of work .. which i spent dressed up as Santa Claus trying to figure out what the Japanese teachers wanted me to do. The highlights were standing on the roof of a school waving at 300 kindergarten kids, and when I was asked “What is Santa’s favorite flavour of ramen noodle?” .. i replied “Miso” which sent all the kids into a frenzy.. which was hilarious. It was a riot for miso approval.
In about 8 hours i will drive for 3 days from here through Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima.. all the way to a place called Fukuoaka to take a boat across the sea of Japan to Busan, Korea.. to take a train to Seoul where i will stay for new years and some days until i fly back to Tokyo and come home again.
Super road trip .. go!
I also can’t belive its Dec 23rd.. it doenst feel like the day before Christmas eve… i feel no build up of excitement or that something special will happen. Maybe its because this year i will get nothing for christmas.. thats sucks.
