Happy New Year!

By Jib-kun

Greetings to you all!  Like me, you must be celebrating the New Year!   New Year celebrations in Japan are very special every year.  A time to take a break, to be with family and most of all to eat and watch TV!  There couldn't be a better holiday designed for a little creature like myself.  
    When I first joined everyone here at Jibtv, almost a year ago now, they asked me what my hobbies were. I told them I'd never really had a hobby.  After all, ancient forest dwelling creatures like myself get great practice at not doing much of anything most of the time.  You'll never hear a mountain say it's bored.  And you'll never hear a tree moan about a busy day planner.  (Which is ironic, because many of them become day planners.) But living in Tokyo for the first time, I have found so many exciting and fun things to do.
    I have traveled along with camera crews to locations around Japan and Tokyo.  I have eaten just about every tasty morsel produced in this country.  I have been very busy watching as much Jibtv programming as possible to keep abreast of what is happening in Japan and in the world!  
    But now they are telling me I've got to go take a vacation.  I'm not sure what I will do.  I have about 4 days of complete and total freedom. So I will need to go somewhere warm.  I also need to go someplace with internet, so I can keep up to date on what's happening.  Lastly, I need to go someplace with good food.  Hmmm... I wonder if any of these people in the office will let me come home with them.  Maybe I will stay with one of the J-Vloggers.  
    Enough about me! Happy New Year to you!  Thanks so much for checking in with me here at my little blog.  Please visit again in 2010!  We have so much exciting stuff planned for the future of Jibtv.  Have a wonderful celebration and see you in the new year!
