New Year’s Evening

A great day in Tokorozawa again. The sun was shining so Coco and I had a long walk again. And as usual it was not easy to get a photo of Coco. He totally hates taking photos, and it makes you feel like a paparazzi. Though sometimes you catch him off guard, like when he is relaxing at home after a walk 🙂



After the walk we drove to the Tokorozawa fish market. It is nothing compared to the fish market in Tsukiji (biggest in the world) but it is still quite busy during the New Year.



For dinner we had hand rolled sushi and crab. As usual. But hey, if it tastes good it tastes good every year 🙂



Unfortunately I was so tired that I could not stay up and wait for the new year. I just got to bed at 10:30 pm and slept instead

Going to Tokorozawa for New Year

Today we went to Tokorozawa for the New Year. Once we got there I as usual took Coco for a long walk. He seemed to enjoy it, the photo session with me being the exception. Oh, this is a nice feature of my new iPod Touch… Using the front camera to take a photo of yourself so that you can see what you are doing (though the quality is not the best).



As per our tradition we had shabu-shabu for dinner. Same procedure as last year 🙂 It may seem boring to have the same food before New Year every year but, in my opinion, you can never have too much shabu-shabu. It is delicious 😛

Sunshine in Tokorozawa

After rain comes shine… Today the sun was shining. Coco and I took the opportunity to take a long walk. Enjoying the sunshine. And, at least Coco, enjoying sniffing around at whatever seemed interesting.


Coco in the Tokorozawa jungle

But please don’t tell Coco’s mother that he enjoys the jungle of Tokorozawa. She’d go crazy at me if she knew 😉
