After going to Imperial Palace on December 23rd, I went to my host family’s house near Magome Station to have a Christmas dinner. It was only a small Christmas dinner for only one family. But I enjoyed that celebration very much. My host mother cooked many kinds of food. I also cooked croquette and brought it to that Christmas dinner.

The church that I visit every week in Japan is Tokyo Baptist Church. It is located at 9-2 Hachiyama-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan. This is an international church where there are people from many different countries. There are people from USA, Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, etc. In its website it is said that there are about 50 nationalities of its members. I knew about this church from my friend who is also an Indonesian. She brought me to this church together with her on the first Sunday after I arrived at Japan.

On Sunday, December 6th, 2009 I walked for about 8 km in my boots. I walked from Shibuya (渋谷) to Shinjuku (新宿) by passing Harajuku (原宿) and Yoyogi (代々木), and then I walked in Shinjuku starting from eastern part of Shinjuku to the northern part, then to the western part of Shinjuku to meet my friends, then we walked to the southern part of Shinjuku and return back to the western part of Shinjuku. Maybe I was crazy and stupid at that time to walk for such a long distance by wearing a pair of boots. Actually I would prefer to wear my sports shoes, but because they were wet when I used them on a rainy day, so I had to wear my boots on that Sunday.
