woke up early this morning and went for a nice walk. all the time i was walking in the snow, i was singing to myself the “Frosty the Snowman” song. i was enjoying a late christmas all alone.

again, i was tempted to make a snowman but i’m waiting for the right timing. this mound of snow looked so inviting that i wanted to jump into it!

at times, the snow was almost knee high. after this, my shoes and socks got all wet. my feet got cold, so i had to end my lovely walk.

hundreds of years of history. so beautiful!

i still don’t know the proper way when visiting temples, but i’m doing my best to remember.

did you hear about the 6 people that got the death sentence in indonesia? earlier today, they were executed by a firing squad. all from different countries caught for smuggling drugs into indonesia. didn’t they read on the customs form before entering “Drug trafficking will be punished by death.” most of the world leaders are angry for the indonesian government to execute the drug dealers. my opinion is they knew the consequences when smuggling the drugs. yeah, in america, you get caught smuggling drugs, you will go to jail for only about 10 years. in third world countries such as indonesia, there is absolutely no tolerance for drugs. if you smuggle, you die. and that’s probably why those countries don’t have as much drugs as america. my advise is “don’t smuggle drugs, and don’t even do drugs.” then you will have nothing to worry about. pretty simple.
