To start off, to everyone who follows my blog, sorry for lack of any posting in over a month. I have been extremely lazy (although to be fair, I didn't do that much in December until I went home!). So to end 2010, I have some photos, etc. from when I went to Asakusa. Asakusa is (I think) an old part of Tokyo, home of the famous Sensō-ji temple and Kaminarimon gate.
Only for foreigners. Not for Japanese.

I got a New Year's card (similar to how we send Christmas cards in the UK) from my friend Ikuya today!
2011 is the year of the rabbit, hence the little rabbit-type numbers!
Lastly, here is a sign that made me laugh in the airport:
I think from now on I will try to update the blog a few times a week, even if I write only a few sentences of whatever. Thanks for reading, Happy New Year everyone!
