New Year’s Lucky Bags! 100101

So yesterday (since I was too lazy to post yesterday and I am posting today.) we went shopping for fukubukuro, which is a “lucky bag” that they sell on newyears. They’re like grab bags! I think they do those at the Hello Kitty store in the U.S. I couldn’t figure out what time places opened [...]

In Nagoya! 091225

We made it here in one piece :] So…we got on the plane around 11:35ish and then we took off around 10 minutes after that.
