HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break. I’ll admit I ate way too much over Christmas. I’ve turned into such a glutton! I guess it’s time to start that new fitness regimen. +++ I’m a little behind in vacation posts, so I’ll get right into the next one. The day after the Arashi concert we had another early start in Harajuku at the Toni & Guy salon. I had asked Yuka to book our appointments before…

I had no itinerary, no appointments – all I had to do was show up at Shinjuku Station at 11:00 a.m. Yuka and Junko were going to do the rest for me. =) +++ Yuka and Junko were already at the station when I got there a few minutes before 11:00 a.m. Frannie came a short while later.

Asia almost seems like a lifetime ago, but I’m hoping my memory will hold out as I try to recall all the details of my trip. Starting off in Tokyo, we arrived at Narita in the afternoon on the 18th. I think out of the five flights I flew on this trip, this one turned out to be the worst….
I survived my movie marathon!! It was a grueling 3 days and I don’t think I will ever schedule 6 movies in 3 days again. However, I had a great time at the festival this year and I’m happy I caught a few good films. =) I guess the biggest hype this year from Japan was the North American premiere of Norwegian Wood. I couldn’t get tickets to the first two screenings, so I missed the Q&A with the director….
