Over winter vacation, I was very lucky to
have been able to go home to Hawaii. I spent a lot of time with my family,
especially during Christmas and New Years. I ate a lot of local food such as spam
and Portuguese sausage with rice. I also ate some Hawaiian food like laulau and kalua pig. For New Years, my family and I usually go camping at the
beach where my grandparents used to live. Over the few days we were there, I
played with fireworks with my little cousins, went swimming and hiking, and
played card games until late at night. Winter vacation was a nice time for me
to catch up with my family and I am happy I got to see them. Now that I am back
in Japan, it feels like I never left. Despite the cold weather, I am happy to
return to my life here and I am excited for 2016 in Japan.
