The end of the year, 2005

The year, 2005, is going to end. I had more or less valuable experience this year. I’ll improve myself more in next year based on this year’s experiences. As Japanese custom, we eat Soba (Japanese noodle made from buckwheat) at the end of year. Because noodle is long, we eat them hoping our long life. Then, I went to “Jimbo” with Larry to have some noodle.
In the supermarkets, there are many fireworks stuff on the shelves.

I think that doing fireworks in New Year day could be originally Chinese customs. But it seemed to be well-accepted by local Hawaiian people. Then, around my apartment, people have been enjoying fireworks since three hours before. It too noisy and is scaring me. I’m writing this blog in my room surrounding the smoke and smell of gunpowder.

Since now I’m going to go Waikiki to enjoy celebrating New Year. Hope that next year would be great for me, my friends and family.
