Day 7 ~Lazy~

[Neko4eien]

Some days are really nice for keeping track of, as nothing much happened so there is nothing much for me to write about.

jishin desu

The first day of the NY in Japan was pretty much similar to the first day of NY in any other country – sleepy))) We woke pretty late and decided it was to late to go to Tokyo as Kashiwa is pretty far. Bf has prepared breakfast for us – besides usual stuff that help you with hangover (from Japanese point of view) we had the traditional NY mochi.

I have received traditional nengajou from him. I didn’t expected to receive one, but it was so nice of him to prepare on for me too) I think he is just to nice to be true XD

The only memoriable event about Jan 1 is that I have experienced my first earthquake in Japan) At first there was a notification on TV and then I felt that smth is wrong. House was slightly vibrating or shaking, but not too hard. This earthquake was level 4 in Chiba, but in other places much higher. I was excited about the earthquake as it was my first time, but Bee and her bf didn’t pay much attention to it.

Later on we had nabe (typical Japanese winter food) and watched “Avatar”.

Seems like Bee can not finish watching it at all (it was her 4th attempt and she ailed once again), But bf and I watched it till the end… in Japanese… with Japanese subtitles…. Interesting moment is that I watched Avatar exactly one year before, on Jan 1, 2011. That time I went to the cinema with my Ne-chan and hubby (long story, and hubby is she, my friend? Who is currently in Spain). I thought it was somewhat memorable to watch the same movie one year later in Japan. Actually the mere fact that movie was in Japanese has been confusing enough, but I also noticed that subtitles did not match the lines that were spoken. Eh? When I asked about it, Bee explained that it is natural as different translators do the lines and subtitles, which I still find weird XD I think that with Avatar it doesn’t matter what language is spoken, it is just an amazingly beautiful movie (not that I am really fond of it, but I must admit that the visuals are impressive!) We haven’t noticed that Jan 1 became Jan 2 and on that day we had to get up extra early as bf was taking Bee to Gifu prefecture to meet his parents and was gonna stay for two more days in Tokyo.
