Trip to Japan

Nanzenji, Kyoto

It's been 2 weeks since we got back from Japan. I haven't had time to post pictures on this blog, but it seems to be a good time to do now since it's snowing outside. (We have an inch of snow already and supposed to keep snowing for few days!)

The trip was a lot of fun! We were busy everyday. Especially the trip to Kyoto was amazing. Thanks for my parents for the awesome Christmas present!

Ai Akabane

Also, we enjoyed meeting Ai, my parents' new dog. She was a sweetest little thing. She is a vary tiny black Shiba that weighs only 16 lb or so. After we came back to the US, Darma seemed so big!! Speaking of Darma, she was so happy to see us. I can tell it was a very stressful 10 days for her. Now she is back to normal and being lazy on the couch.

I wish we were staying longer than 9 days, but we still had a wonderful time. I would like to thank all my friends who took time to see me! I feel so lucky to have friends like them in Japan even we live in  different countries.

日本から帰ってきてもう２週間たちます。これまで写真を載せる時間がなかったけど、今日は雪が降っててどこにも行けないのでブログ書いてます。（すでに４ｃｍ積もってて、これから数日間雪の予報らしい。）

日本では毎日忙しくも楽しく過ごしました。特に京都への旅は思い出深いです。両親からの素敵な素敵なクリスマスプレゼントに感謝です。

それと、両親の新しい犬、あいにも会えてよかった！あいはとっても可愛い黒柴の女の子で、８ｋｇしかない小さい柴犬です。アメリカに帰ってきた後、ダーマがすごく大きく思えたのは言うまでもありません。

ダーマといえば、私たちを見た瞬間喜びの嵐でした。きっとストレスのたまった１０日間だったとおもうけど、今は元通りで、ソファーの上で毎日ぐうたらしてます。

本当は日本にもっと長く滞在したかったけど、仕方ない。そして、私たちに会うために年始年末に時間を作ってくれた友人たち、本当にありがとう！遠く離れてすんでても、こんないい友達が日本にいると思うと私は本当に幸せ！
