Japan

On Friday, our office was closed so all of us decided to go snowboarding at Mount Daisen. It was incredible!!!! It was my first time, so I was really scared and nervous. It actually took me about an hour to figure out how to even stand up on the board and keep my balance. We started at about 10 a.m. and by about 2 p.m. (with a lunch break thank you very much) I could actually do it. Now I'm really hooked and I want to go again in a couple of weeks!

After that we ate "Kimchi Nabe" at Calvin's house. Nabe is like a Japanese vegetable soup and Kimchi is a Korean cabbage salad. I know, it sounds really bazarre but it is sooooooo good!

To think about what I was doing at this exact same time last year, and then to think, sheesh, I just went snowboarding on a Japanese mountain... wow!
