'Twas Christmas Eve..

Yoko and Richard learn about advent calendars..



December 22nd For all you astronomy fans out there, this year's Winter Solstice (冬至) coincided with a rare lunar eclipse (月食). Regrettably, Tokyo was being treated to pouring rain at the time, so I was unable to see the moon :'( But to celebrate the Winter Solstice, I had pumpkin salad for lunch with Fumiko, my student, and that night, I took a yuzu bath (an orange citrus fruit)- a combination which is said to prevent one from catching a cold the following year!
December 23rd National holiday- fake-early-Christmas day!!!
The itinerary was:
Watching Tron Legacy  ..

Listening to the Salvation Army play ..

Christmas Karaoke ..

 Christmas dinner..
and ..
Christmas Dinner Posing with Illuminations

A lovely day with lovely people :D






 
December 24th Merry Christmas Eve!
Quote of the day: 
Me: What will you be eating for Christmas tomorrow?
10 year old student: Hamburger!

A Christmas message and an apology..






 


December 25th I worked a full day at AEON..





..followed by meeting Branwen (my school friend) and her friends at a British pub.



 Dipping nachos into cranberry sauce!





The night ended at a club, where I got to speak to my favourite Japanese DJ, Shinichi Osawa. Christmas magic!
