I have had the pleasure to visit Japan more than once and each time I do, I fall more and more in love with its culture and all the craziness going on. Japan and I have a long history. One of my beloved aunties has Japanese blood, so I grew up listening about the culture and seeing kimonos' pictures and Japanese decorations. Her daughter, who happens to be one of my closest friends, had a great idea when we were 8 years old: We would save money from that moment on, so that, when we were 18, we could go to Japan together.

Once you've got it, then you'll be successful! We are now 5 days in 2010 and to be honest I don't think I'm even half way in the road to happiness. I am not complaining here, I seriously am not. I am very grateful for what I have and what I am. I have the best family I could ever ask for, my friends are quite awesome and I have a job that I love and teaches me something new every single day. I even have love, respect and admiration for my boss!!
