1) they use chops in japan too?
2) new years dinner looks goooood! what's out the window, boats?
3) love the pics of the animals! it's amazing that you're able to get so close to them....although your head wasn't quite as close to them as some of their friends' heads were...but you're probably fine with that.

Which woman is the calligraphy artist? Are you able yet to discern great calligraphy from average?

New Year's feast looks delicious. But, why do the parents' faces look so unhappy? Too much food? Are they not happy about having to take a picture?

Mmm, foofy white dog and fish paste. Do you dip the dog or spread it?
