Suzuna got me to go to a wood working workshop where we made our own little bento boxes. Before that we walked around Yoyogi park in Tokyo to see some festival. There were two festivals, one was a healthy food vegan festival, and the other was a paella festival. We decided to go with some paella for lunch. The workshop took a lot longer than I expected, but in the end we had some really nice bento boxes that we made all from hand.

Like last year, this year I threw a large Thanksgiving party. However, unlike last year, this year I had a large American oven and could cook around a 30 pound turkey, along with all the other typical side dishes. I actually cooked two turkeys just to make sure there was enough for all the people and some for leftovers. I didnt pictures of everyone, but there were over 30 people again this year devouring all the food.

A new German guy in my house asked where around the area he could do some hiking. I took him up to Enkaizan, and Daimaruyama. It is only a short distance from our house but is a nice walk up to the highest peak in Yokohama city… which is really not very high at all.

On our third attempt this year (our first two tries they were closed) we went to a nice macrobiotic cafe in Kamakura. The food and atmosphere were great and highly recommended for anyone looking for some healthy, delicious, vegan food.
