Dec 08 / Jan 09

Instead of, as planned, moving on to California in January 09 we have decided to stay on in Tokyo for another few months! We will be in Europe though for parts of December and January, so my entries will be somewhat irregular during the festive season. From mid-January or so everything will be back to normal, and I will keep you posted on our further culinary and lifestyle discoveries in Japan...
