New Years Eve is really different in Japan. Back home, this day is reserved for getting super drunk, kissing people you don't know and trying to figure out what exactly happened the next day. Talk about getting off on the right foot! In Japan, New Years Eve is a time when everyone goes back home to their families. Most people here are actually given a week off from work so they can enjoy this time. Because everyone is heading back home, which is usually in the country side, it makes Tokyo a ghost town. So for those who don't have a family, it can be a very lonely time. Fortunately, as witnesses, we always have family not matter what country we're in. On New Years Eve I got to spend time with the Mastuda family. They were having a dinner for those who couldn't visit their family. The friends were from the Thai group here in Japan and it was nice to hear many of their experiences, plus the food was really good! No matter where you go, Jehovah always makes sure you're taken care of.
That's so cool, bro. Dude, I can't wait to hear all your stories first hand. Wish I could just be Hank Pym and chill in your pocket while you're in Japan; it sounds like the experience of a lifetime. We're not getting you back, are we? heh. Tell Suella I say hi... and... I'm sorry. I take it back.
