Those 2 creatures in the car are actually famous icons in Oki. They're called shisa or lion dogs. They always come in pairs - one with its mouth shut tight to keep the bad spirits out and one with its mouth open to take good spirits in. Or maybe it's the opposite, I'm not entirely sure now. But I've also read somewhere that one is female and the other is male. Guess which one they say has its mouth open! LOL
As for the ring, hubby got some extra allowance so he bought me an early Christmas/Anniversary present. Made me really happy of course that it almost makes it up for our mini "separation". Almost.
Anyhoo, Christmas is soon coming up & this time we're headed to Sasebo! I like the naval base over there because it's near downtown (i.e. walking distance Starbucks!) plus they have Chili's and Popeye's on base. And, I really want to see something different. Our base has become too small for me - you see the same thing, the same people every single day! As for the New Year weekend we still haven't figured out what to do though. Any thoughts?
