i forgot to mention..
We left Seoul at 10am in the morning and arrived in Tokyo at around 12:30. I got home and showered and promptly passed out. I slept until the next day when I woke up at 5am. Technically since I slept for the majority of my birthday.. thereby passing it, it doesn't count right?!?!? LOL
But here's how I celebrated the beginning of a new year in Seoul Korea...

Again... thanks for all the birthday wishes =D Made me feel not so sad in Japan / Korea.
