HAPPY NEW YEAR

Me and Mika hiding behind her drink

Me and Mika's best friend Yoko

I dont know who that guy is with Mika!

Mikas friends had organised quite a big party for New Years Day. There were about 15 or so of us in this tiny izakaya drinking away the year we just had. It was good to meet some of the people Mika keeps telling me about but who i had never met. I went around drinking and chatting to mostly everyone and before u know it everyone was counting down to the new year! Then the beer kept flowing until the all u can drink time limit ran out and then walked in the freezing cold for some New Year Karaoke!!!! I did my usual making a dick out of myself, having but didnt care, as it was the third night in a row that id be drinking! I even tried some Japanese rap but not being able to rap even in English it was quite interested. Thankfully i had some help from Mikas friends. Some soft people had fallen asleep at karaoke as it was quite late so i tried my best to wake them up with some System of a Down's "Chop Suey". It didnt work. We left karaoke at about 5 in the morning and completely forgot about going to the japanese shrine as is the usual because we were buggered. But after we got up some time early in the afternoon the next day, we went down the local shrine for Hatsumode and threw 5 yen into the box, rang the bell and made our wishes for the new year.
To everyone though, I wish the very best for the New Year and hope you make the most of it wherever you may be.
