Christmas in Tokyo

Journal Entry: Sun Dec 24, 2006, 7:25 PM
In the land of high tech gadgets, thousand year old temples, and
cho-kawaiko(super cute girls), it's amusing how Christmas is celebrated
here. In the States and other western countries, turkey with all the trimmings
are eaten. However, here Japanese eat...KFC. That's right, They flock to their nearest Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant and pick up their favorite type of chicken...sorry, no original or extra crispy chiken sushi(if you're wondering).
Can you imagine long lines trying to get a bucket and biscuits?

There are a lot of Christmas decorations and lights all over Tokyo, and Tokyo Disneyland would make you feel like you're back in the States, but it doesn't truely have that Christmas feeling.

...for me, I'll be celebrating the traditional way...on an American base!


To every Deviant, Happy Holidays and have a joyous Merry Christmas!!!
