Christmas is coming...
So it's almost December. And, in Japan, the christmas lights are up, the fake trees are out, and the evil-nutcrackers are on sale at the 100Yen shop. It's going to be a weird Christmas for me at least (Ryan doesn't seem to care), we're not doing any major travelling (as we had planned, Ryan has to save all his holidays for the wedding in March), and we're not going home. So, we've bought a little tree (already put it up, couldn't help it) and are having a little Christmas here.
It's going to be very experimental. I managed to find the only two WHOLE roasting Chickens in Japan (bought them out of the back of a Bangledeshi guy's van) which I plan on cooking in my toaster oven. Really. Aaron and Alysha are going to do the potatoes in their toaster oven, and I have a couple of boxes of stovetop suffing to play with. YUM YUM! Going to try and make christmas crackers (minus the "crack") out of origami paper, and we're "acquiring" all the Christmas movies to watch on Dan and Norah's projector.
I think I'm just going to baracade myself in and not admit that I'm in a country where KFC and ready-made hello kitty stockings form the holidays.
Time really is flying by here. Hard to believe that it is almost December. Work is chugging along, and I'm slowly figuring out how it all works at Kyudai. Ryan has become an ebay prostar, and has cornered the market on certian Japanese products that I'm not allowed to mention lest he get any competition. Needless to say, he's having fun, and I can't believe the kind of crap people will pay $50 for. He's also working for an English school out here, so we're doing well.
Here are some photos of a Christmas display downtown we saw the other night:
