Setsubun!!

Well, today was Setsubun. The Japanese holiday where you drive away evil demons by throwing beans at them. While I didn't do any bean throwing... I did participate in a few of the activities, which included eating as many soybeans as your age, and having a good fortune senbe(which is apparently only a Tsu thing I think) Inside the giant triangular senbe thing was a little good luck figurine of little men. Super cute.

Other traditional things that I did not take part in is eating a rice roll(we would call it sushi in the US but its aomaki....) the reason I didnt eat this was because the line for them was insane at the super market... and I didn't have the patience... Then often times families will have the father dress up as a demon and the kids will throw beans at him as he runs away out of the house to symbolize cleansing of evil spirits. So, pretty cool holiday, however still had to work haha

Other than that nothing new, but there was a small earthquake a second ago... which is the second one I have felt since being here, and caught me a bit off guard, but it was a really small tremor... so all is good! Still working making all those old videos, so keep tuned for that!
