New Years in Matsusaka



On Sunday morning Hiroko and I woke up and loaded up the car for the trip to Matsusaka. We woke up..... fairly early and packed up our stuff. Surprisingly, the trip to Matsusaka had no traffic jams whatsoever (Which is really surprising for New Years). After arriving in Matsusaka we watched the news to see that they were expecting the big rush to every one's hometown on the 30th since there were still people working on Monday and Tuesday of that week.
In Matsusaka we lived the high life. Eating great food, staying up late, and sleeping in. After getting back we all found it hard to get over our "Matsusaka Jet Lag" and get back to work. On one night Hiroko's mom bought 1.5kg (3.2lbs) of Matsusaka beef for sukiyaki. My brother in law bought Yebisu beer and we washed it all down with that. It was soooo good.
Also, on another day we got the kids out of the house to enjoy the play area at the local Apita shopping mall. It's great to put all of them together so they can play till they drop. We were able to get them tired enough to have an adult night out with Hiroko's sister and husband at the local Japanese bar across the street from their house. It was great fun.
