How I Spent My Christmas Eve in Japan / 日本での私のクリスマスイブの過ごし方 [ENG/JPN]

Introduction

I have been living here for a few years, and I could say that the Christmas is quite different here compared to my hometown. Although, I already expected this since I've been assigned to a Japanese working environment for six years. With that, let's start the story during lunch.

^{Tokyo Station}

My Activities

As per usual, I do have work, and this has always been like this since there is no Christmas holiday in Japan. I ate my already prepared lunch before noon. The reason for the early lunch was that I have to get something I accidentally ordered online. I didn't expect that it would go through since the overseas card I used is not commonly used online.

After getting my order, I went back to my house and started working again. After a few hours of working, it looks like there was no other task to do so I decided to do a fitness activity in my nearby gym. With twenty-six minutes of running on treadmill, I took a shower after several minutes of cooldown and prepared to go out for a Korean dinner in a nearby restaurant.

^{Pork bone soup (Gamjatang)}

We were supposed to order Budae JJigae which is also one of my favorite Korean foods, but I got tempted with the picture of the delicious looking pork bone on the menu. It was worth it though since it was so delicious that I told the old lady who was serving us. The old lady had her bright smile and said, "I am glad".

^{Korean Boiled Pork Wrap (Bossam)}

Since were in the Korean restaurant, there should be Soju. When I called the old lady and said "Also, one Chamisul please", I was perplexed as to why she was surprised I ordered an alcohol. After several minutes of eating and talking with my three other friends, the last dish was served. The Bossam we ate was also delicious and it was our first time eating it. Thank you @itz.inno for picking that one! 😆

After having our bountiful and delicious meal, we went out with a full stomach. My friend suggested that we should walk for a few minutes to burn some calories. We agreed and I lead them to longest path to our house. I was deciding to take them to the nearest park and have some night talks, but it was minus one degree Celsius, so I crossed-out the idea. We had a small pit stop in 7-eleven and then finally arrived at home.

Afterword

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas. If you have reached this part, thank you so much for reading! I enjoyed my entire day today, not only I had my early Christmas gift for myself, or the Korean food I had, but I also called my family and friends in my hometown. And lastly, I gotta eat this ice cream as it is starting to melt. That's it! See you next time! 😁

はじめに

ここに住み始めて数年が経ちましたが、クリスマスは私の故郷とは少し違うと感じています。もっとも、6年間日本の職場環境で働いていたので、これは予想していたことでもあります。では、お昼の出来事から話を始めたいと思います！

^東京駅

アクティビティ

普段どおり、今日は仕事がありました。日本にはクリスマスの祝日がないので、毎年こんな感じです。お昼前に用意していたランチを早めに食べました。その理由は、ネットで間違って注文してしまったものを受け取る必要があったからです。ジーキャッシュという海外のデビットカードを使ったので注文が通るとは思わなかったのですが、うまくいったみたいです。

その後、商品を受け取った後に家に戻り、再び仕事を始めました。数時間働いた後、特に他にやるべき仕事がなさそうだったので、近所のジムに行ってフィットネスをすることにしました。ランニングマシンで26分間走り、その後クールダウンをして数分休んでからシャワーを浴びました。そして、近くの韓国料理屋でディナーをする準備をしました。

^{豚骨スープ（カムジャタン）}

本当は大好きな韓国料理の一つである「プデチゲ」を頼む予定だったのですが、メニューに載っていた美味しそうな豚骨スープの写真に誘惑されてしまいました。結果的に頼んで正解でした！とても美味しかったので、料理を運んでくれたおばあさんに「美味しかったです！」と伝えました。すると彼女は明るい笑顔で「良かった！」と言ってくれました。

^{茹で豚包み（ポッサム）}

韓国料理といえば、やっぱりソジュ（焼酎）が欠かせませんよね。おばあさんに「チャミスルを1本ください」と注文すると、なぜか驚いた様子でした。なぜ驚かれたのかはわかりませんが、とにかく注文成功です。3人の友人と一緒に食べたり話したりしているうちに、最後の料理が運ばれてきました。それが「ポッサム」です。この料理もとても美味しく、今回が初めての体験でした。@itz.innoぱいせん、これを選んでくれてありがとう！😆

^{カムジャタンと背景に映るソジュ}

たっぷり美味しい食事を終え、お腹がいっぱいになった私たちは外に出ました。友人が「少し歩いてカロリーを消費しよう」と提案してくれたので、みんなで同意し、私が家までの一番長い道のりを案内しました。本当は近くの公園に寄って夜のおしゃべりをしたかったのですが、気温がマイナス1度だったため、その計画は断念しました。途中でセブンイレブンに立ち寄り、最終的に家に戻りました。

^{今夜のアイスクリーム}

おわりに

メリークリスマス！みなさん、素敵なクリスマスをお過ごしでしょうか？ここまで読んでいただき、本当にありがとうございます！今日はとても充実した一日を過ごしました。早めのクリスマスプレゼントを自分に買ったこと、美味しい韓国料理を食べたこと、そして故郷の家族や友人と電話で話せたことが、すべて良い思い出になりました。そして最後に、このアイスクリームが溶け始めているので、早く食べないといけませんね（笑）。それでは、また次回！😄
