Christmas

I have to say it's been a strange Christmas, although the shops were full of decorations and Christmas treats and playing the usual carols it didn't really feel like Christmas! Even decorating the apartment and playing Xmas songs at home didn't do the trick haha. We reserved a table in a popular ex-pat haunt called the Pink Cow in Shibuya and ate a traditional dinner of turkey, potatoes, veg and gravy  - it was really good actually and we met some nice people there.  After that we went for a walk around Shibuya, through the narrow alleyways and up towering buildings in lifts to try and find new places to eat or drink.  Tokyo never fails to interest me, even if you get fed up of one area there are so many places to go and discover.  We found a great seafood restaurant on the 10th floor of this building which had great views of Shibuya -the prices were impressive too though eek.
I've been very lazy so far into the holiday, just eating a lot and sleeping so today I want to go and explore somewhere new...and get some exercise!  It's so warm at the moment - it was 19C yesterday - its really nice but I have a feeling that January and February won't be so kind to me....
