4 degrees in the room as I woke up this morning. My breath made a puffy little white cloud. I got dressed in light speed to get down to the warm kitchen as soon as possible.

When it got warmer outside Coco took me for a walk again. The sky was blue and it was very nice day. Though a little bit cold in the wind.

In the evening we watched some typical Japanese New Year’s T programs. Like K-1 fighting and some kind of sing contest or rather sing performance of famous Japanese artists. I prefer the K-1. But I agree that it is better to watch Japanese artist sing old style songs than watching K-1 while having dinner.

Since it was New Year’s evening we had hand-roll sushi and crab. It was deliscious and we ate for a long time. Many of my favorite fishes were there, such as chu-toro and kampachi. The only thing that we did not eat was the salmon, which is not considered a good fish for sushi in Japan.

We all got quite tired after eating too much. But only Chie and Coco took a night nap. I had my nap during the afternoon instead. Once Coco woke up he wanted to play again.
