Winter

I have been in Japan for over a year now and have already experienced a winter here.  I recently heard that Shizuoka was the second warmest place in Japan and while I don't know if that is actually true, it is still considerably colder than the place I come from ... Florida.  Thankfully, my apartment has good heating and I'm feeling ready for this winter.

What does winter really mean for me in Japan?  So many wonderful things!!!  Nabe, heated toilet seats, shabu shabu, clear skies for seeing Mt. Fuji, strawberry picking, heated rugs, kotatsus, hot green tea, lots of parties in December and January, and so much more!  Thank you OEK for having me another year!

訳) 日本での生活も一年が過ぎ、ここでの冬は一度経験しています。静岡は日本で2番目に暖かい場所だとよく耳にします、それが本当かどうかは分かりませんが、私の故郷フロリダと比べるとかなり寒いです。でも、ありがたいことに私のアパートは日当たりがよく暖かく冬の準備はばっちりです。

私にとって日本の冬と言えば??? たくさんの素晴らしいものがある!鍋、暖かい便座、しゃぶしゃぶ、富士山と澄んだ空、イチゴ狩り、ホットカーペット、こたつ、温かいお茶、121月の忘新年会、他にもいろいろ! 今年もOEKにいさせてくれて、ありがとう!
