a white xmas in japan

merry xmas and happy new year from japan!

antonette and i took advantage of the early snow in gifu and decided to go on our first snowboarding adventure. we spent most of the day falling instead of actually snowboarding, but it was a lot of fun ;)

antonette managed to get some footage of all the xmas decorations near nagoya station the following evening.

props to antonette for taking all the footage in this video. she did a great job.
