Happy new year!!

Happy new year 2016!!
When I woke up, there was already fire works and a head line of happy new year on TV.
Yes, I missed out the moment that the countdown at Times Square hit 0:00 a.m.

Almost a year ago, I was in Tottori in Japan to celebrate the new year.
I can say new year celebration is the most traditional, cultural and big event in common in my country.
On the last working day of 2014, I told my appreciation to my clients and colleagues, cleaned up my desk more carefully than usual, and went back home to prepare for the trip to my hometown.
The whole city had entered the "Japanese" mood of welcoming the new year.

When it enter the new year's holiday, people go back to their home town to see their family.
On every new year eve my family have a big party with various foods and alcohols brought by each family members.
When we're stuffed and drunken enough, the temple bells start to sound.
The new year is around the corner. The bells usually start around 11:45 pm.
The temple bells are beaten 108 times which is the number of human bad desires in Buddhism.
As we listen to the bell sound, we welcome the new year.
And think that eating too much and drunken are one of 108.
