I cereblated the first breakfast. The dishes were Japanese
traditional ones such as "Ozouni", "Tai fish", "Kazunoko", "Kinton",
"Kuromame", "Vinegar lotus root", "Rolled kelp", and "boiled
vegetables."
Those are the basic menu but they contain my deep wish to spend the New Year
healthy just as we had in the past.
I soon picked up New Year cards in the post box. Some say
it is a sort of empty formalities to be abolished soon. But it was still
good to read them.
It was great pleasures that I got messages from unexpected people. I
soon responded back them in the afternoon and posted immediately.
In the evening, I enjoyed a TV program of Wienese
Philharmonic New Year Concert.
The conductor was Mr. Zubin Meta who gave me a wonderful view of the
concert.
I could enjoy so many live images of Wienna Waltz in Schoenberg Palace
decorated with many flowers and incredible dances.
I enjoyed a really wonderful time. I hope I could join a concert of Johan
Strauss in Wien some day.
