Merry christmas! メリクリスマス！♪（ｖ＾＿＾）ｖ

Merry Christmas everyone for yesterday!

What did you get up to?

I was going to take the day off, but thought better of it given that all my friends were going to the office to "work".

So we rocked up in our comfiest clothes (except Pauli who accidentally wore a suit!) and put our food stash on the table.

We proceeded to watch The Muppet Christmas Carole which was hilarious! All the while gorging on Doritos, Japanese crackers and sugar.

Then we had Indian for lunch. Yes, six out of seven of us had butter chicken for Christmas lunch.

We then came back and exchanged presents. All of us drew out a number from 1-7, and number one chose first, then number 2 could choose to pock a new present, or steal number 2's. luckily, I was last, so I got to chose last. My present was a bottle of fruity Japanese liquor (thanks Simon!)

Then we played Charades for a bit, and then started watching Love Actually (which right now we are finishing!). (Yes, even though I saw it 2 weeks ago again I am in romcom heaven! Tearing up..)

For dinner a group of us went to us an *all you can eat* yakiniku place. Yakiniku is a Korean adopted Japanese food- you cook raw meat on a hot plate BBQ in front of you and then dip it in delicious sauce.

There was SO much food... I really think we ate equivalent to 10 cows. Different cuts if meat, chicken, potatoes, corn. And even though we were all on struggle street, we ate icecream for dessert.

To finish off the night, we took sticker photos. プリクラ。Hahha they always make your eyes look CRAZY!

It was such a nice day, and as Michelle said was reminiscent if Christmas back at home- we were with the people we love, ate an abnormal amount of food, exchanged presents, and were in high spirits.
