The Year in Review

I often see things ranked in Japan, such as the top three best or most or…. whatever, and I’ve decided to do my own top threes with my last post of the year. I’ve included links to the posts on my blog that told about these things. (Sometimes you have to go to the end of the post to find the subject).

ADVENTURES IN JAPAN

1.    Cross Country Ski Race (Part 1 and Part 2)

2.    AnniversaryTrip to Otaru

3.     Vacation to Gifu, Nara, Kyoto, Yokahama, and Tokyo  (and the posts before and after this one - it was a long trip)

 

FESTIVALS

We attended many festivals this year, so this was difficult, but I’ll have to say:

1.    Mochi Festival

2.    SapporoSnow Festival

3.    SapporoDance Festival

FINISHED PROJECTS

I was pleased to finish so many stitching projects this year.  The ones I’m most please with are:

1.    TheDragon Master and the Sun Dragon

2.    Ojimi

 

3.    The Four Beaded Nutcracker ornaments

FOODS

I’ve tried many new foods and I’ve enjoyed many Japanese foods I had never tried before, but my favorites here aren’t all Japanese.

1.    Bombay Blue Indian Curry

2.    Ted’s Secret Fish Recipe

3.    Moving Sushi

 

UNIVERSITY CONCERT EVENTS

One the many advantages of living so close to the university is being able to attend the performances of the students. My favorites are:

1.    Thai Dance

2.    Seven Course Music Concert

3.    Indian Music Concert

MOST READ BLOG POSTS

One of the features of the blog is being able to see the statistics including how many views each post receives. Here are the three posts receiving the most views:

1.    Japanese Birthday Cake
 

2.   Animals Speak Japanese in Hokkaido

3. Thank you Margaret in New Zealand  
  

Thank you for reading my blog this year.  Please come back next year (I mean tomorrow)!
