Countdown experience

4th time counting down to the New Year in Japan since 2004... And I realised I am never at home to cross to the new year!

2004~ Went to Ise Jingu(伊勢神宮) with Carol. Had a whole fun night of watching Japanese rushing to offer their first prayers of the year. But of course the main highlight was after that! a whole night of walking through the street stalls, bingeing and buying souvenirs.

2005~Went to Ise Jingu again!! With a group of friends from school. This time round, we didn't even book any accomodation. Went there in the evening, then sunrise( in the cold!) and headed home.

2006~ Was invited to Mio chan's house for a typical Japanese way to spend New year. It is so similar to any chinese familes because it involves food and more food! We spent the day eating, watching TV, making some snacks, playing at game centres...

2007~ The climax so far! Went for the famous super high demand Johnny's countdown 2007! WEEE!!!

It is the 10th anniversary this year. And also the first time Arashi is appointed as the MC. Of course I must go right!!

It was also broadcasted live on Fuji TV. but nothing beats being in the concert hall itself listening to them live and enjoying the cheers from every fan.
Must go again at the end of year, but this time, front row seats please!!!!!
