Well first Christmas in Japan - it kinda came and went. They don't really celebrate it here - as in they're not religious so they have the Christmas trees up, Christmas music and decorations and that's about it. In what seems to be a Japanese style they take the cute aspect and leave the meaning.
Christmas is a time for couples here.... and KFC! Yep, that is THE food in Japan on Christmas, you can't get anywhere near a KFC on Christmas day and you have to phone ahead to reserve a table, crazy huh?
Anyway I organised a Christmas Day Extravaganza for all my friends who were sticking around for Christmas. I booked a table for 14 people at a Kobe Beef restaurant where we had Teppanyaki (Beef cooked in front of you on a hot plate). It was delicious! Then we went to Karaoke and sang and drank for 3 hours and then headed to my house for an al night party. Here are some pics...
