I only have a few more days of school left until I am officially on winter vacation! Wooo! This year, winter vacation is from December 23rd until January 10th...meaning I have 18 full days off for break!
So..."what will you do?" you ask. Well, this week I will celebrate Christmas with my girlfriend. We will make a homemade dinner and enjoy spending time together. We will also go to Roppongi Hills which has a nice light up display all around. We went last year and it was really nice, so we want to go see it again.
Then from the 26th-28th of December I will be going to Hokkaido for some snowboarding! I can't wait! There is a group of young teachers from the area who put together the trip every year and invited the ALTs as well, so I definitely joined. We will be flying out from Haneda on the 26th and come back on the 28th. Then from the 31st through January 2nd, I will spend some time with extended family. I will meet them on the 31st down by Mount Fuji...not actually at the mountain but at a hot spring around the area. I still have to figure out how to get there, haha...but I'll figure it out. Then on the 1st and 2nd of January I will be traveling around with them and visiting some relatives who I have never met before. It will be a cool opportunity to meet some very extended family.
Then from the 2nd through the 4th a friend who used to live in Japan will be coming back and visiting, so we'll all get together and hang out. Should be a great time. Then the rest of the break I will just relax and do things as they come. Take it easy before going into the last semester of the school year! I can't believe that this school year is almost over and I will be going into yet another school year at the school!
It's been a great time in Japan so far and the adventures never stop. I am learning or discovering something new everyday and there's no other experience like the one I am getting during my time here!
Well, more updates to come soon!
