Happy Merry Christmas and New Year!

Happy Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you for your purchase on ebay or PIJ
and thank you for your kindness this year!
We would like to provide you more confortable services next year.

The year draws to a close. So I will introduce you about the way to spend
New Year in Japan. Do you know it? :)

We usually prepare for Kadomatsu (New Year's pine decoration),
Shimekazari (New Year festoon made of sacred straw), and
Kagami-mochi (round rice-cake) after a spring house cleaning.
We call the last day of the year "Oomisoka", and we usually spend the time
preparing for Osechi (food served during the New Year's Holidays).
In the evening, Joya no Kane (the bell) rings out the Old Year. It is
struck one hundred and eight times, and we eat Toshikoshi-soba
(buckwheat noodles eaten on New Year's Eve) hearing the sound of the bell.

In the morning on New Year's Day, we eat Osechi or Ozouni (soup
containing rice cakes and vegetables). Also go out and pay our visit
to a shrine. We call it "Hatsumoude". Checking New Year's cards delivered
from friends or fellows or receiving Otoshidama (money given as a gift
at the New Year) are one of our favorite things in New Year.
Oh Otoshidama will be given to children (I can't receive it. I must give it
to children...lol)

Those things are traditional events around New Year in Japan.
It looks busy, isn't it? However almost people have New Year Holidays
in the priod, so we can rest enough and hope our happiness new year.

I want you to know about technical description of the camera

This camera "Panasocic DMC-3D1-K Lumix 3D Digital Camera"

UFO catcher (Crane game) in Japan

Do you have the arcade game in your country?
It is a crane is used to pick up stuffed toys, etc..
I think it is called "Crane game" usually, but in Japan, we call it "UFO catcher".

I'm not good at UFO catcher actually, but I love it.
I often play it when I see it. There are so many rare items which you can get
only with it. For example, ONE PIECE Figures, AKB48 items, Snacks,
Takoyaki machine, Tomica, and so on. It needs 100 or 200 yen for playing it.
However somebody told me that the mechanism of UFO catcher has been
calculated by the manufacture. For example, when I play the game to get
ONE PIECE Chopper Figure, it is impossible to get for 100 yen. They have made
the machine you can't get it for 100 yen. If you try and try several times,
you will get it at last. But, if it's so, it needs me to increase my picking skill. lol

Please watch these movies. He is trying to get some figures or plushes.

Interesting! :) By the way, do you know?
There are a lot of UFO catcher items on Yahoo auction!
I think they always get them to sell on the auction, but they are really nice items.
I often buy them in spite of myself... How about your country? Thanks!
