2 years ago in Tokyo…
Two years ago I was also in Tokyo for new years. My brother arrived in Japan just after christmas to meet up with me and it snowed the following day marking the first day ever my brother and I had ever seen snow. It wasn`t a lot but enough to get us excited. Two days later Tokyo had a record snow fall only a couple of days before the new year.
Here are some photos from that day. Considering we had a 17 degree day on Wednesday and the most rain Tokyo had seen in forever on Tuesday it seems so different from my snowy and cold new years two years ago…therefore making it a blog worthy moment.
These photos were all taken at my Japanese university, Seikei University in Kichijoji. I doubt Tokyo will see any snow this winter, and even if it does I doubt we will get as much as this.

3. Our pathetic snowman barry who had flowers for eyes.
4. Me and Cat (#2)
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!
Ps: Several days after this I went snowboarding…now that was a lot of snow!!
Pps: When this is published I will be drinking with friends…I am so organized for once in my life I managed to do a `publish on 30th Dec at 7pm` set-up thing. I am so proud.

Have a lovely NYE, Dearest!
Wow, it’s so strange to see that much snow in Tokes. As I write this, the sun is shining and it’s a gorgeous day. I’ve just looked out the window and my neighbour is cleaning the outside of their windows. reminds me that I’ve not done the cleaning yet! Oh well, there’s always next year.
Happy new year, Lulu. All the best.
Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year! That is a LOT of snow, no wonder you were so excited! Don’t get a lot of that in ol’ Brisvegas.
I particularly love the Canterbury jersey…I’ve got like, 8 of them!
Lulu, I had ANOTHER dream that we were hanging out in Japan together! Freakish non?
Altho I think it had something to do with watching ‘heroes’ because one of the major characters was Japanese and he was working in an office building and wearing a tie, which made me think of what you mentioned in your post about hair colours ect about men having to wear ties…. weird how the mind works.
ANYHOO! Hope you had a wonder new years eve! Have you started the new job yet?
Happy New Year, Lulu! I hope 2007 is a great one for you.
Thanks everyone!!! ALl the best to everyone in 2007, wherever in the world you may be!
Marika- The jersey was my brothers highschool jersey. I couldn`t find mine on the day, but they are great for snow play.
Deb- I do not think i have ever dreamed about anyone that has a blog (at least someone I haven`t met) Maybe it is telling you you need to get to Japan ASAP!!! By the way the job starts Tuesday. Off to immigration tomorrow to pick up my extended visa and then I am all set.
