capriboi13- December 31st, 2009
A year has come to an end. So it is also the end of a decade of 2010.
A lookback at 2009, what a "Japan" year it was I should describe it.
Exactly a year ago on this day, I was about to embark on a maiden and remarkable journey to the Land of the Rising Sun that I never knew would made me so fascinated about all things Japan ever since.
Although previously I do listen to one or two Japanese songs (Chage & Aska's "Say Yes" and Namie Amuro's "Can You Celebrate?", the only two which I know) and into animes like Sailormoon and Crayon Shin-chan, that was just how I am a fan of Japanese culture. And at that time I don't get it why my sisters were so crazy about Arashi. (Well even till today I still don't get it).
However, everything soon changed, just like this magically after the very first trip to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, sponsored by my then-company. Well, perhaps I had to have the company to thank for, for I wouldn't know how nice Japan was (from the food to the environment to the people), and gave me the dream and motivation to live there someday.
Guide to 4 groups of Japanese high school students, 3 trips to Japan, 2 courses of elementary Japanese, 1 local Japanese Matsuri, and many bowls of ramen, Uniqlo clothes, Japanese dramas and music, that basically sums up my 2009. (*^_^*)
Looking forth to 2010, in which I'll be turning a quarter of a century old, this Japanese maniac in me will not stop definitely.
Last but not least, like what everyone else is doing, I thought I should also do a recap of my happenings in life over the first ten years of the millenium.
