明けましておめでとう！

Well 2014 is in full swing here in Tokyo.  It's Monday so today many people return to work and business carries on as usual.  If you want to see a city of approximately 13 million people empty come to Tokyo for New Year's.  It's is a time when many people return to their hometowns.  I believe very few people call Tokyo their hometown.

After returning to Tokyo right before New Year's Eve, the only person I wanted to see was my boyfriend.  We had ourselves a "staycation" staying warm inside, watching movies and Japanese shows, and eating tons of food.  My boyfriend cooked special New Year's dishes which was a new and wonderful experience for me.  I was so glad to spend New Year's with him.
