Drive out the Devil...







On February 2nd we had our friends Taube, Julian, Lynn and Rob over for dinner. It just happened to be a festival day, "Setsubun". The tradition of "Setsubun" is to eat as many dried soy beans as your age +1 and then throw them outside to drive out the devil. Also, you are supposed to eat a long role of sushi with your eyes closed while wishing for what you want the year to follow. Let's hope the devil stays away and we all get what we wished for...
