Oh and a bit off topic here and to explain something......
I added Happy New Year to the end of my post yesterday because it was the Lunar New Year (Feb 18th) and here in
Okinawa, there are many that celebrate the lunar New Year, which also includes my mother in law, opposed to the calendar new year or "shin-shogatsu", the lunar new year is called "kyu-shogatsu" here in Japan. Some celebrate both.
In Okinawa there is also a "New Year's" for the deceased which is clebrated by quite a few by visiting the family grave on the 16th day of the lunar new year.
There are quite a few people in Japan that still celebrate the lunar new year, particularly those that work as fisherman.
Sorry for going off topic here....thank you!
Oh and Suki......Happy New Year to you too! I wish for you a peaceful, calm and safe new year.
