Simple Christmas

We had a nice and cozy christmas eve at home. It was great to be together at home after such tough and challenging year of work and struggle. We look forward to a productive and successful 2010 together.

Ground control to Major Tom

We also managed to discover the secret headquarter of the aliens, with its giant transmitter, also known as Hakkaku-sanju-to (Built 1289)

Onsen Hanaya tour

We went to the Hanaya Ryokan to have lunch and onsen. The building is very very old and is designated as juyoubunkazai (important cultural property). Food was traditional healthy food in the usual 15-17 courses and we were really full after lunch. And then we jumped into onsen, proving once more that it is not dangerous to go in bath after a big meal.
