Day 17 - Zzzzz

Today was a bit of a non-event. I slept in until noon, and then we went downtown to the SOGO (posh department store) had some snacks (Sashimi) at a Japanese Restaurant and then came home in time for a huge Taiwanese hotpot. Need to make these at home!!

After dinner we watched "Memiors of a Geisha" to make up for not seeing any in Japan.

After that the family disappeared to begine CNY celebrations which prayer and now chinese firecrackers can be heard throughour the streets.

I should be in bed, but am strangely wide awake.... I want a Canon Camera - or a panasonic FX-33 - can't decide. Last time I went out on a limb with a digital camera purchase I got stuck with the damn Olympus. Four more sleeps (and an overnight plane trip) before I am home. If only I didn't have to go back to work on Monday ...

Have been having some Japanese medicine (tastes like cinamon but disgusting) which seems to have helped my cold - YAY!
