Time goes very fast and we left only several days in January. But it is still cold in Tokyo.
This time, I will show you the ''must have item'' for cold winter.
1. Yutanpo
This is what I got in Berlin. We still have variety of different kinds of yutanpo in Japan.
I also like to see the Yutanpo cover. There are many different kinds of cute cover.
We put some hot water inside and keep it to next to our legs when sleeping. The warmness from
Yutanpo is different from the one from electric heater.
2. Hokaron
cheap and easy.
You can find it at any pharmacy store. Just shake it, then it will be warm. We usually keep it in the pockets of clothes or coat. Some hokaron has a seal in the backside. So we can seal in legs, back or whereever feel cold.
3. Wool sox
Maybe some of your coutnry have this kind of sox. So do Japan, we have it. This is what my grand mom made. It protects me from cold weather every winter. I feel grandmoms warmness.
If you have good idea for must have item of winter, please let me know.

I went to see the concert of my favorite band ‘DEF LEPPANDA’ at CLUB PHASE in
Takadanobaba yesterday.
Lead singer is Nori Kondo who is the manager of Sakura Hotel Hatagaya.
His voice is amazing! His hair is stunning!
Nori is a rock star.
Sakura (Sakura Hotel Hatagaya staff) showed up as a special backup dancer
with Hiro (left, Sakura Hotel Hatagaya staff) and a rock star
After the show, Hiro and I went out to Karaoke and kept singing …

We still don't have snowing but really cold days here Tokyo.
Ah...I want to be a bear then I can sleep till spring to come :p
But we have 'Kotatsu' and 'Nabe' to get through this cold days!
Do you know them??
'Kotatsu' is a low table attached heater inside and covering with a blanket.
It's so comfortable and I often slept in the Kotatsu :)
And one more thing, we can't forget about 'Nabe' ;)
'Nabe' is a Japanese Hot Pot and we have a lots of kind variety of that.
We going to put lots of vegetables and pork or beef, seafood, chicken, anything okay!
This picture which I found in internet, this is 'Kimuchi Nabe'!
It mainly cooked with Korean pickles called 'Kimuchi', and I love it.:D
It's so easy to cook and healthy and also too tasty...!!
It just good and let's have a 'Nabe party' ;)

Namaste!
Guess what, I went to India on my winter vacation.
It was so an energetic country. Everything was so mixed and it was a new experience for me.
Cows, pigs, horses, camels, and dogs are on the road. Even a car gets close to the animals, they don't show any fear. Everything is coexisting and they act as if it was very natural.
When I went to Augla castle, I saw several monkeies and hook-bills. Even I come close to them,
they don't get scared. It was just like living in a zoo with animals. I was impressed by that.
I thought it is the origin of nature, and it is one of the beautiful things in this world.
well.. enough for my feedback.
Here is the pictures.
Beautiful Taji mahal. It is made by white marble stone. Isn't it look like sugar sweets?
I did elephant ride to go to the castle. I thought I'm gonna fall down. But it was fun.

Can you imagine..............people traveling into the space...!
My dream is traveling all over the world...but to be honest maybe my real dream is a space trip ...!!
I've found one advertisement of 'GUINNESS' .
They were offering big presents for only three people for their
250 years anniversary.
The first prize is a 'travelling into space', the second one is a 'traveling
under the deep sea' and the third one is a 'private live music'.
I do wanted win the 'Traveling into space' !!
How fantastic it will be if I can see the earth from the space with my own eyes.....!!
