Happy New Year 2009 !!!

Happy New Year 2009 !

I wish you all a wonderful year in good health and peace !

How did you spend your new year eve and new year day ?

I worked until noon on 31st which could never happen to me in Japan...

For lunch, all Japanese volunteers in Bobo got together at regional field coordinator's house and had "mochi-tuki" (rice cake making) party.

"mochi" is indispensable for Japaneses for new year celebration.

At night, I went to a dinner party at a French friend house.

I borrowed a Yukata from a friend for this official party.

At the moment of January 1st, 2009 !

Kiss, Kiss ! very very french way to celebrate a new year.

First piece of cake in 2009 :p

Then, the place became a dance hall !

The party lasted until 5 in the morning...

It was fun and very exceptional new year party !
