The last day of January. One twelfth of the year has gone.
It was cold. In the northern and western part of Japan there are heavy snow this winter. Weather forecast says it is going to be warmer from tomorrow.
In December and January there are many chances to get together. In December they are called bonenkai (忘年会), the year end party. In January they are called shinnenkai (新年会), the new year party. I had some new year parties and have met some friends during this month.
Through Christmas cards and new year's cards I felt many connections to many people.
January is such a month for me. How about you?

There was the final game of the soccer of the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2011. Japan became a champion. It was the fourth victory which is the most in history.
I did not watch the game but knew by the news.
Congratulations!

I went to the Tokyo Disneyland with my high school friends today. It's been so long since I went there last. Recently a new attraction Mickey's Philhar Magic started. I wanted to see that but could not. There were so many people today. I also wanted to ride the Space Mountain but the waiting line was long and the fast pass was so late, and I could not.
Some attractions such as Big Thunder Mountain were closed due to renewal or under construction or something.
Even the lines for buying pop corn were so long. I did not know there were so many different taste.
I have never been to the Tokyo Disney Sea yet, so I hope to visit there someday.
