皆さん〜明けましておめでとう!!
Happy New Year!! As i wished for, i experienced a typical Japanese way of spending new year (:
I went to a famous shrine on new year eve before midnight and did "countdown" with the crowds. with inverted commas because, it wasn't an official countdown so people were not that excited as there were no fireworks whatsoever. but the shrine was full of people, and we had to wait for our turns to get in and that takes more than an hour.
Look at how huge the coins collection thingy is compared to the normal one. lol. people just threw their coins in all the way from the back. also did 恋みくじ and it was 吉 haha. by the time i reached home it was already 4am. thank you dani for sending me home ^^ feel somewhat nostalgic for coming home so late and having someone to send home feels good heheh.
On the first day of new year, i went to host family place and made cookies! it wasn't what they usually do of course, i just wanted to do something. and we had new year meal like this:

It was a lot of fun, but travelling with just 2 of us feels kinda lonely a little. Even at the Amusement park, haha. We actually rode on the Japan's HIGHEST ROLLER COASTER and Japan's BIGGEST wooden roller coaster in Nagashima amusement park, there are like 5 ROLLER COASTERS, 3 PIRATE SHIPS, 3 SWING CAROUSELS, 3 FREE FALL RIDES and blablabla! it wasn't as scary as i thought and very exciting! just if not for my motion sickness, i think we would enjoy much more. sorrrrry!
This free fall isn't very high at all. but surprising it scares me the most. more than the highest roller coaster which i was afraid to take at first haha
なばなの里 is famous for its illumination and this is of Mt Fuji. very prettttty~
