Mariko and I had a late night on New Year's, but before it was over she made sure to take me to a shrine. Judging by the number of people there at 4am, I think it's a traditional activity.
[Mariko selecting her New Year's charm]
[We each paid 100 yen to buy a fortune for 2010. Mariko hung hers up on this 'wall' of fortunes. I kept mine because it contained such gems as [for study] "Work hard, and you'll pass the exam" and [for love] "Everything goes well. Nothing to worry about" and [for game and match?], "Don't get so excited. Be moderate."]

Happy New Year, Dave! Glad you two had fun. :)
I ferried past your island the other day! looks lovely.
you must have been going to Kume?? or Tonaki? You'll have to come out here soon for whale watching.. (in fact I just got back from my first trip of the season - it was just okay - and I'm going back out again in a couple hours)
