Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I've enjoyed my time immensely with Jesimee being here in Japan these last few weeks with me! We've had some amazing times, and I'm really glad she could be here. We both really love Japan, and have had some great times with each other and with friends.

We've been to a variety of shops, both for looking and an actual bit of shopping. Jesimee was hoping for some clothes from here, and that goal is accomplished between her Christmas presents from me and Will and some of her own purchases, she has a really fun outfit, a new coat, and some new boots. We've been to temples, shrines, parks, a castle, and she went to Nara with one of my friends from school one day while I was busy finishing up some writing projects. We've tried a variety of foods together...I'm glad Jesimee was willing to try sashimi (raw fish), though I think it won't be on her list of favorites any time soon. I have learned that I really like certain kinds of sashimi, particularly salmon and tuna, and I'm wanting to try more before I go, but got full at the restaurant, what with all the varieties of sushi I already tried.
