So, naturally the first thing I made was a birthday card! I have made James a birthday card every year for the last four years, so this year I tried to build and my Japanese skills and learn to write his card in Japanese. I know this sounds a little geaky, but James told me about how artistic and unique the post stamps are in Japan, and how much he liked them. So I thought I would make my own stamp in a similar style featuring Mt Fuji. I also send over a pair of chop sticks so he can get practising for his trip out here in July and a few origami things I have been making in my Japanese lesson. We never think that spending loads of money on each other is important, or ever makes a good gift. To us its all about the thought and meaning.

My blog will not be soppy. But I am so grateful to have such a supportive and loving boyfriend. I miss him lots, but the days are ticking along nicely until we are re-united.
Over the last two weeks I have received some lovely cards and letters from my friends and family back home. Thank you so much!! They really make my day. It got me thinking, receiving a card is always a lovely feeling, so if anyone would like a card from Japan please send me your address! You don't have to write back in return, but something back would happily be welcomed.
Last weekend I went to karaoke Now, I know it was popular in Japan, but oh my goodness what an evening. You have your own private karaoke booth, food, unlimited alcohol, fancy dress costumes, musical instruments and a huge array of English songs, of course it was a fantastic night out!

Have a great Golden weekend (if your in Japan) and a great weekend everyone else.
