I know I missed a post for December, but I'll do two for January instead. I really wanted to right about the situation with the holidays here and how I've felt about them all. Christmas was wonderful! The KFC Christmas set is by far one of the best over 100 dollar food items that I've ever purchased in my life, and I will definitely attempt to get it again the next time I'm in Japan. I haven't eaten KFC in years but my god the quality of fast food in this country far surpasses that of the US. I spent Christmas day eating junk food, but I did have a wonderful dinner with all of the friends that I made so far on Christmas Eve. My friend made 12 key Lithuania dishes in celebration for Christmas and it was just a wonderful way to end the month. Hatsumode was also wonderful, and I got to experience it at Nezu shrine. There were so many families crowded around the shrine but surprisingly it was actually relatively quiet even after midnight. It feels like I'm finally beginning to assimilate into my surroundings. People around us were asking us questions about how we got here and what it was like to study Japanese, and it was just a warming experience. I also got excellent luck on my fortune! Here's to the next year being awesome.
