Working on Christmas wasn’t too bad this year. On Christmas Eve my coworkers and I had a lovely lunch of chicken, pizza and salad. On Christmas Day, another coworker brought in some cake for everyone to enjoy. When I lived in the States, I couldn’t imagine working on Christmas Day, but after living abroad and by myself for a few years, I really don’t mind.
Have you ever seen a tree decorated with vegetables before? I’ve seen fruit added to trees or the odd popcorn garland, but this is… interesting.
I went out with a couple of friends last night. We met up after work and then headed to downtown Nagoya. My friend N know a swanky bar/restaurant, so we went there for a couple of hours.
We ordered drinks along with some things to pick at. We had to wait for another friend, J, because os a snafu with the trains. So, N and I nibbled on come caprese and meats.
Once he arrived, we ordered more drinks, a sausage platter, and some fried chicken. By then, we weee pretty hungry so we dug straight in and I forgot to get some pictures.
At Nabana no Sato, on the way to the exit, there’s a long corridor of plastic greenery and lights.
There is a Christmas Village in Nagoya this year. On the way home from hanging out with a few friends, I had a look around. It was cute and a nice little change of pace from the dreariness that is December.
Spent almost all of the three day weekend in bed due to a bad sore throat and cold. My voice still isn’t 100%, but I can speak again, so it’s back to the grind for me.
Look deep into the water. What do you see?
