Merry Christmas! For Christmas and New Years I went to my parents house (they are temporarily staying at Penn State for my dad’s job). My sister flew in from the Netherlands so we would be the complete family together for Christmas, we also adopted Kazuki since he was not going back to Japan for the winter break.

The first thing we did was an escape room in a town nearby and First Night at State College. First Night was an event in which the town converted into a beautiful, merry place with ice sculptures everywhere and music in all the churches. Here, Kazuki and I went ice skating, something that I haven’t done in a long time.

For the last couple of days, I went with my family to Philly, while Kazuki returned to Gainesville. In Philadelphia we went to the art museum and I made a picture with Rocky, the other thing I had to do there was try a Philly cheese steak, which was a bit disappointing in all honesty.
