About New Year's in the U.S.A.

Most people stay up until midnight.
Most people go to a party.
Most people eat a lot of food.
Most people watch the Ball drop in New York city on TV.

About New Year's in Japan

Most people eat buckwheat noodles (Soba) on New Year's Eve, and eat Osechi on New Yaer's. Parents and grand parents give money to children. I got money from my parents and grand parents. I was happy. Most people visit a shrine and pray to God. I prayed to God too. Most people watch sunrise but it was cloudy New Year's day. Most people send a New Year's greeting postcard to friends, teachers, coaches and acquaintances.
A Happy New Year!

I go back to Japan

I went back to Japan from December 24th to January 3rd.
I stayed at my house just two days.
I stayed at Kurohime in Nagano other days. Kurohime is a ski area. I did training there. When I stayed in Japan, it was snowy many days, so I enjoyed powdery snow somedays.

Japanese foods were so good. I like Japanese foods. I love Japan.

Quebec race

I did 4 races in Tremblant and Mt Blanc from December 19th to December 22nd. It was my first Canadian FIS race.

Tremblant was a big ski resort. There were many hotels, restaurants and stores.

I went skating in a village with Masaru and Gab. It was my first time skating too.

I didn't get FIS points these races, but it was a good experience for me, but it was so cold there.
