Holiday Break - Christmas

久しぶりでごめんね！ (Sorry it's been such a long time!)

For whatever reason, I keep neglecting this blog. I'm trying to define what exactly this is. I've decided it's more of a personal blog than something with which to inform other people about Japanese culture.

If you want to know more about Japanese culture, you should start looking at my YouTube Channel! I'm going to make an effort to make videos there. I've gotten a bit of attention lately...I tagged my latest video (which I will explain later!) as a response to a popular Japanese vlogger's channel; she liked it and shared it on Twitter, so a lot of people have been checking out that video and giving me suggestions for others. So, give me suggestions!

Anyways, I'll talk about the Christmas part of my holiday break in this entry.

In Japan, Christmas is more of a couple's holiday than one to spend with your family (if I mentioned this in another post, sorry). I don't have a boyfriend or anything, so I decided to spend Christmas with my friend who was studying in Mito. She came to Tokyo for about a week.

We spent a bit of time around Shinjuku and tried to find more illuminations.

After she had to leave, I met up with a few other friends to go see The Hobbit! It was awesome. :D Even though I felt a bit lonely seeing couples everywhere, I'm glad I spent Christmas with some great friends.

(This post is a bit short, but I want to split up the holiday into sections)
