[socin11]

Kawaii nekos!!!!

[pansx]

i love your videos..i finally decided to comment but you are hilarious with sarcasm

[zozoca9]

hey,hey! Lets look at things more positively, shal we?U didnt spend Cristmans working. U spended it wonderfully singing in a karaoke (FOR FREE) with recently made all new friends! Of course, if u look at it like that, u would have to see a bad side as well: after christmans, ur friends just abbandoned u without even a single phone call. wich drives us back to the beggining.

...yeah, forget the positive thing. Anyway, I like karaoke. But there is few here on Brasil, so I use the shower for free!

Hope you made it home for xmas this year Audri and yes I know that was a month ago.

[nokogiri217]

Lol, santa bikers

[moe210333]

u are verry pretty

[kumani90]

haha you're like the only person I know that's a foreigner and actually wants to go back and leave Japan, while others, dream to go there.

[nal80lia]

is she crazy, she made me want to go to japan more.

[greenhousestorm]

and also, that white cat looks plastic to me lol.hehe.

[greenhousestorm]

that part about monkeys, lol, is not really true but it is true. I sometimes feel the same here."Say something in ur language, please!"

[CZeyn]

Chistmas cake?! O.O

How come I never had that? </3 ='(

[Vkira02]

haha "crazy foreign monkey" u are awesome! do Japanese people really think English is a crazy language? Actually how do Japanese people see English? Some of my friends say its annoying, what do you think?

[CZeyn]

When I was in Japan I relized that they use English just as they do in my country (Sweden) which means that if you use English it's cool. Using another language brings intrest cause you don't speak it all the time.

[DirectlyHere]

lol I've watched all of your videos xD your freaking hilarious. Oh and Kumo/Billy is SO cute /and as I watched his actions I thought 'thank god, my cats not the only one that attacks everything' lol/ Keep making videos!

[brocksmangachic13]

i so want to go to japan!!! wahhh america sux!!

[happyinthedark]

>_>

[DirectlyHere]

I kind of agree, in a way

[Vkira02]

so do i, not all that great here

[kitsundesu]

Hey now, we all want to go to Japan but don't throw America under the bus!

[CZeyn]

Never been to America, but to Japan! =D

[1ApricotCake1]

i dont noe if you are asian but you can definately pass as one..oh and great video!!

[applecan2]

i would love to go to japan

[theorigin1]

ugh! you're so negative sounding...

[Jcool663]

EHH its how she copes..

[CelluloidPixie]

Tanuki-Claus is so scary! hehe

Heres to a better year, love.

[ShaderZ]

That clip of the cats was so cute :P Nice Video

[Yuripaine]

I am really sorry for you but I guess it's still a great experience ^^ Merry christmas and happy new year! ( by the way I am not judging you) thanks for the video and I hope next year you will be able to spent the whole holiday with your family ans friend and not work ^^

[discountsausage]

Hehe, well ok saying i want to spend it with my family is a stretch, but I do miss my closest friends who are waiting for me back in North America. Those people ARE my family, and it just felt strange not having them (or even hearing from them) this year. Oh well :(

And yeah, no work next year! Or else!! GRR!

[wulliwulliwulliwu]

Wahh... was that really a tanuki? - is that the reason why you didn't film the lower part of it? We loves you oO

[ImperialPimp]

Ah, a new one.

Look forward to the new year's video...

[crazynolan]

creepy animal santa!?!?!

[discountsausage]

It's supposed to be a raccoon but it looks more vicious than a real raccoon don't you think!?

[mikuchan]

I wanna kill Tanuki-Claus so bad.

[discountsausage]

But then the little tanukis won't get any of their tanuki gifts and tanuki christmas cheer!!! :p

[crazynolan]

yeah, I've seen racoons before, I live in Texas and they get big around here, and I've never seen one like that, must have a demon for a mom.

[utubething8]

How is the odd sleeping position cat?

[discountsausage]

He's still sleepin' like a weirdo, and I don't think that'll ever change! He's a quirky little animal!

[GretchenDawntreader]

wonderful video as always, I'm addicted to your japan diary for the masses. Happy holidays and new year!

[RyRyVids]

I love you! chushte

[TkyoSam]

Another awesome video :D

Christmas wasn't anything special for me either, lol

[jsmitty88]

Santa biker gang? Could be the Japanese Nambla in disguise

[discountsausage]

What?! No! They were the for real santa, ok?! Santa is real and he's not part of NAMBLA!!! Don't turn my world upside down!

[jsmitty88]

I'm just saying. Whats the motivation? Seems a LITTLE suspicious to me.

Cute cat tho.

[bjeramos]

interesting video! i hope that kfc really wasn't an element in celebrating christmas. i did that a couple of years back, except with friends and sneaking in a bottle of wine afterwards. let's hope that next year offers an opportunity to reunite with family next christmas!

ps---you look cute with the headpiece(?) you wore during karaoke. a present from one of the old guys, perhaps?

[discountsausage]

Oh man, KFC is a huge part of christmas here! They cook up whole christmas meals that you have to make a reservation for. The package comes with a whole roast chicken, a buncha special seasonal side dishes, a cake, and a small bottle of wine. It's actually kinda fancy in a ghetto way. I tried to go get some KFC on christmas but I didn't have a reservation so I could only get regular chicken :p but they gave me a snoopy cup to go with it so that was cool I guess!

[discountsausage]

YES! I thought so too!!! He was the creepiest santa ever! and he was holding a small twitching santa in his arms!! What has he done to christmas!? CURSE YOU TANUKI-CLAUS!!

[zenhill]

Great video, my favourite part was you talking about the karaoke. dance monkey dance."They wanted to hear the crazy foreign monkey singing songs in English" LOL - That pretty much sums up my life in Japan every time I leave the house, just substitute singing songs for whatever it is I happen to be doing in public at the time. Even most of my Japanese in-laws treat me that way most of the time. LOL Despite that I still love Japan and the Japanese. :))

[discountsausage]

It can definitely be tiring to be a one man circus unwillingly, but yeah you do get used to it :p and the great japanese beer doesn't hurt it either! I still love Japan, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I love the japanese. Well not all of them anyways ;)

[kansaiPJ]

Hope the new year is a good one for you. Christmas in Japan takes a while to get used to, but now I actually prefer it to the celebrations in North America.

[discountsausage]

I've been in japan on and off over the span of a good 5-6 years now, and this is going to be my 2nd year (and my 3rd xmas) here.

I think it has to do with the changing of age and personality, because I absolutely loved christmas in Japan the first few times. But it's less interesting for me year by year.

Sure, it's neato to see temples and kimonos and all that jazz on christmas, but nothing will ever beat a christmas pint in the company of my oldest or closest friends/family.

[kansaiPJ]

I see what you mean. I guess there is a benefit for me being a misanthrope... not really missing anyone back there. Muhaha. (evil grin)

[norsehawk]

oh my, that is the most surreal Christmas stuff I've ever seen. I wish I could have been over there to witness some of that insanity personally.

[discountsausage]

I think you should most definitely see a japanese christmas once or twice, cause it's something you'll never forget ;)

[scott2eh]

Oh you krazy ex-kanuck english speaking foriegner! Good to hear you are a star with the old peoples. That reminds me of the kareoke scene in Lost in TRanslation, which I should now watch! Very cool to see the wacky xmas stuff they do there though! Thanks again!!

[discountsausage]

What can I say? Old people love me!

What? "Lip my stocking" what??? "LIP. MY. STOCKING. LIP IT!"

[angelusofdeath]

Hey young lady, do you want some weird candy from a suspicious looking disguised person?

Oh yeah, that sounds very attractive to me.

lol joudan dayo.

Anyway, happy winter missy.

The best of teh video was the tanuki santa.

damn I want one.

[rasberry1977]

good job keep up the good work

[ArkBackPacker]

Audri very happy to hear your feeling better.

I didn't know you could sing perhaps on a future Vid you would be kind enough to... get down and boogie for us.

[discountsausage]

someone having to do karaoke, and a person actually able to sing are most often two different things. I never said i could sing, I just said I "had to" on christmas. So no, there won't be any singing videos of me. Trust me, i'm not hiding some awesome talent from anyone. Karaoke here almost never equates to "ability to sing". Unfortunately I have to hear it almost daily, so I know.

[carolbegg]

Oh sweets. You find the best things - biker gangs! And my baby is a star! See you soon - we shall do a slightly better karaoke.

[discountsausage]

Haha i read that wrong. I thought you wrote "you find the best biker gangs!" :p I was confused for a minute.

Anyways YAY! I'm so happy you got to see the vid, cause I was really hoping you could see Gambit and Kumo gaying it up over here when they think nobody's looking!!!

[Venariel]

Christmas this year aint as good for me either, I have been coughing like crazy since xmas till the new year and still have to rush 3 holiday homework which are due tmr, tt's like 6 hours away. =.= Happy New Year

[discountsausage]

Yikes, that's one heck of a busy holiday :( Sorry to hear it!! I hate holiday homework, too. I didn't get any this time because I think the teacher could see that we were all just worn the hell out and couldn't give any more. We all needed a legit break that involved no school-work. :) That was a good christmas gift!

[Alicechwan]

O___O

that tanuki is pretty scary.

ohh,& happy new year!

[JABSEN]

Holy Crap, That Tanuki things is scary.

HappyMerry Christmas!

PS. A Cutey Santa would have made a great Bday gift.

[discountsausage]

Isn't he just the scariest?

And... you wanna dress like cutey santa for your birthday? Jesus man, I didn't realize what a weirdo you really were! 0_0

[JABSEN]

You saying I wouldn't look good in a Xmas skirt? :(

There go my dreams of being a Santa biker gang groupie.

[whpark]

Great video!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Ah to be in Tokyo during Christmas!!! I did it last year.
