Just make a huge amount of like New Year's food on then that has that lost for three days.

Like it's just like a custom spend time at home with Family Z something I want to thank you guys.

Not like it's a New Year's Yeah, barrel themed like boards, Right?

So this year is the year of the bar, and then, really, I think the data you write a message or something Thio, your friends and family and yeah, it is.

So just for postcards there this address, you can write any one letter message thio all our influences.

So if you guys all writing something, just send it to here.

We have P o box.

How am I?

Okay.

The starting first E.

This is my first time hearing about e soba before, but I never really I knew that you eat soba, but I didn't know the name of anything about the reason to be eating.

It is because noodles in a lot of Asian cultures it signifies a long, healthy life.

Because it's long, so long life to eat it.

And hopefully you can live a long life for another year.

Yeah, Yeah, it has to be so not because nobody is 10 s so you don't be so greedy.

So you need thio teams Fine, just as long as you leave.

And how why you dick or it not that great.

Why, you toppings?

Yeah, Decorate yourself much things up to the regions.

Like the council idea that Kyoto has the Nisshin soba, which is the it's a heritage herring fish that's been cooked in like soy sauce and sugar.

It's kind of it sounds like a weird combination, but it's a very traditional Japanese like sauce on it could be a, uh, temporary soba, which is my favorite, uh, s a bomb.

It depends on the, uh, my parents are from China, They don't eat soba.

Oh, so and also the Okinawan people celebrate Chinese New Year instead.

Oh, really?

What do you eat in Okinawa?

My family eats the Okinawa.

So, uh, it's not so bad The same.

So it's so different.

And then we go to the shrine to Yes.

So the after midnight it is Japanese.

Transportacion is a 24 hour, especially toe 30 plus thio Midnight to the morning training usually running visits right, which is had to moderate a which means to visit the shrine for the first time that year.

Yeah, that's the reason that they dio all night.

I'm not a lot of people going to visit trying, even though 1 a.m. two a m just thio enjoy the okay New Year's to start it.

So let me pray for harmony for health and then against no way to reach young thing.

Yeah, Okay, so I'm not that familiar with the procedure.

Do you know how high school staff?

I've done it a couple of times before.

You get the spoon.

So you get a bit of what do you go left first Switch it over.

Wash your right hand.

Okay, then use a little bit of leftover water in your hand on.

Then you sit.

Don't drink it and spit it out.

Don't just put it back into the into the clean water water.

Spit it down into the rocks below and then you tip it up and you use the leftover water to wash the stick, and then you get it back and never put your lips to the actual ladle because some people try to drink out of it.

But that's a big no no thanks.

No.

So we're here the shrine and they have a lot of like New Year's Eve stuff you could do here.

Have you done to do your say things like it's called hats?

Um, old e.

I actually haven't.

So basically, you come to the shrine and the first thing you would do is you go and pray And do you know what queen?

Oh, yeah.

You use a five yen coin, their good fortune coins.

If you didn't know they're the ones.

A little hole in the middle Charlie horse you can still go into like Shibuya on.

They have, like, a huge party and they'll be like a countdown and the crossing and everything.

So there's still, like this whole crazy aspect to potting for new years.
