Happy New Year!
I know, I know it is 2 weeks late. But nonetheless, Happy New Year peoples.
I got back from the UK like 2 weeks ago and have been dead since I got back. The first day I got back to London some friends came around and were chilling at my house till 5am. That was more or less the pattern of my trip. I might have gone to bed before midnight like twice in nearly 3 weeks (I normally go to sleep at 9-10pm in Japan…). My sleeping pattern went like this. I would get to sleep at 3-5am get 2-4 hours sleep and wake up anytime between 6-9am in the morning. I would then try to steal like 2-3 of hours sleep in the evening or mid afternoon if the opportunity presented itself. But since I was having such a good time I was able to shrug it off and somehow survive.
Thanks to that when I got back to Japan I didn’t actually have any Jetlag (can’t have jetlag if you don’t actually sleep right..).
Unfortunately I didn’t take many pictures. In fact most of the snaps that got taken were on other peoples cameras, so it going be a task to collect them all…
I didn’t really experience any so called reverse culture shock (first time back in nearly 3 years) I guess it is because nothing has really changed. I was however shocked with how cold it was. Your mind remembers the UK is cold, but your body forgets how cold it actually was. I caught a cold the first time I left the house
Anyway happy New Year once again guys. I will defo be updating at least once a week. Got a lot of plans for 2010. Hope everyone has a good year and gets everything they want.
I’ll leave you with a couple of photos that I did take.

This is the view from my driveway on the 2nd - 3rd day after I got back. It snowed for nearly a week…

Here is a picture of the traffic going in one direction.

The traffic going in the opposite direction.

And lastly a picture of the last night with me and a couple of the guys.

Happy new year to you, too. Hope you’ll write about some of your plans, I’m curious
Time flies, huh? I guess those 3 years away from home must have passed fast. So did you miss UK when you returned back to Japan or were you totally fine?

Were you all drunk in that last picture? Just joking. But I see some booze was involved.
