We had a laid back New Year’s Eve.

In the afternoon, MJ and I went for massages. Then, we headed to Cooper’s nearby for dinner. It was a more relaxed atmosphere and cheaper than paying about $100 per person for a course-meal that may or may not be that great. Good thing, too, because although my food sounded delish, it wasn’t that great in flavor….

Afterwards, we headed to Marina Mall to watch “Sherlock Holmes 2” at the theater there. Unfortunately, the Coldplay concert was also in that area (usually concerts are at Yas or the Emirates Palace), so we hit some traffic. However, we enjoyed the movie and made it just in time on the way back to see some of the fireworks on display. The fireworks were nothing by Japanese standards, but still nice.
