My plans for today were canceled so I could finally catch up on the mounds of housework and grocery shopping I needed to do. That evening I had plans for a Christmas party in Takasaki hosted by the Gunma International Club. They even had a gift exchange! I won a Gudetama (a Japanese character, a sunny side up egg) bag filled with snacks and a notebook. Got to hang out with some cool people again and eat a bit of food. Couldn’t drink this time since I drove though so I had a non-alcoholic peach orange cocktail. Japan has a zero tolerance policy just like Czech Republic. They also had free sparkling wine and fruit juice. Y invited me to her family’s house in Tokyo for New Year’s celebrations! I’m so excited to experience the real thing! A came over afterwards to spend the night at my place. The poor thing wasn’t feeling well and got sick in her car on the drive to my place.
