Sorry about my silly little FB rant yesterday. After your comments, and my own pondering on the subject, I realized that Facebook is what it is. Whatever that is for each person who uses it. And if that doesn't make sense, oh well. Anyway, I think what disappoints me most is that the people I really would love to keep in touch with on FB (family and my one or two friends who encouraged me to join), either don't post, or they don't comment or reply to my comments. So it's just frustrating. But one thing I do know is that I appreciate my LJ friends more than ever!!
And speaking of appreciation, thanks are due to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
deadwillwalk, dove95, bayareajenn and flyingichytho. I received your lovely cards over the last few days, and they have joined all the others under my tree. I'm keeping my x-mas tree up for at least another few days so I can continue to see all of my pretty cards! Heck, maybe I'll just keep it up until spring - LOL!
Anyway... without further adieu (is that the way that's spelled?), I decided I'd do a post about Japanese houses, since I'm sure that most of you are curious what it's like living in this crazy country. Also, I received several questions about what my house looks like on the inside, so I took some pictures.
I'll put this behind a cut to save your pages. If you're interested ( kochira e ikimasu )
So I hope you enjoyed your little tour of my home, and a hopefully accurate and interesting explanation of Japanese homes in general. Of course every home is different. For example, my friends, the Yoshinos, who I'm going to visit in a couple weeks up in Saitama, have a very cozy home with two floors, and with actual beds instead of futons. They also have very western amenities like big sofas and a carpeted room.
and before I go (wait I said that already!), here's some pictures I took of our little outing to Numazu, a nearby town, on Sunday. ( more pictures here )
I have some news, and some other pictures for New Year's (of my mother-in-law making mochi), which I'll post tomorrow or the next day. But this is long enough, so if you're still here, then thanks for reading.
Happy New Year everyone!
