One of the best ways to see the old year out and the New Year in is to get together with good friends! We visited our friends' house to have the last dinner of the year 2006 together with some foods and wines!
Tonight's special was the NHK Year-end Grand Song Festival (Kouhaku-Utagassen) recorded through Location Free by my partner. I never expected to watch that Japanese traditional TV program for New Year's Eve here in San Diego. If we were in Japan, I guess we wouldn't watch it since it's little old-fashioned. However, with our inadequate knowledge of Japanese singers and songs, we kidded around each other asking if we know of them or not, and it turned out a pleasant event.
Setting up the Location Free and a DVD Recorder at parents' house in Japan, we are able to watch any TV program broadcasted in Japan on real time basis. What a convenient and borderless world we are in!!
We didn't forget to eat Soba (noodle) and Ozouni (Rice cake soup) as we do in Japan♪
