ふゆ やすみ (fuyu yasumi) is Japanese for winter break.
This winterbreak I am a busy busy little puppy. So expect many updates to occur!
My winterbreak started on Dec. 24 (Christmas Eve). During winterbreak it is pretty popular for people to travel around since kids are on school break. Since Keri isn't teaching school we also decided to travel around. Even more exciting is that Keri's mama-chan is visiting Japan, and so we decided it was the perfect time to do a tour of Japan. So on the evening of Dec. 26th we all piled into Keri's car drove to the station and caught out local train to Hiroshima. At Hiroshima we then transfered onto a shinkansen, or bullet train. We caught the nozomi (which means hope or wish) super express, which is one of the fastest trains in Japan, at maximum speed it travels 300 km/h or about 187 miles/hr. Pretty impressive! Keri has used the shinkansen multiple times, but for Pineapple and mama-chan, it was our first shinkansen trip!
