Annual Blog Kicking Time is Here!

Though I have likely forgotten how to write, here I am to have another go! 

I found this link on Twitter; it's a list of all the big news stories in Japan from the last month. 

We went to a Halloween party last night. No big deal; we used to go to three or four Halloween gatherings every year. But, Halloween is not celebrated here in Japan, at least not the same way as in the US. So since we've been here, for the last four Halloweens, I've quite missed the way we used to celebrate it.
