AUSTRALIAN SMELLS
If you’re in the Australian capital today, chances are you’re wearing a lovely suit and holding hands in public. It’s the sort of thing you’d expect to see in a Japanese pub’s bathroom — the kind that’s filled with Japanese tourists on a warm Saturday morning, and then you can just about smell a bit of “Nyan Nyan” as they enjoy the comfort foods and coffee in preparation for the festival. (It’s been a weird three years, with Nyan Nyan, the new Nyan Nyan. At last, it looks like we’re all in Japan’s pants.)
I’ve heard that in Japan, nyan is used to describe the aroma of alcohol (or alcohol-free, as the case may be), and that a lot of people in the city also use the term during the Christmas period, in an attempt to make sure they don’t miss out on the festival.

It’s officially open to everyone, whether you’re dressed up or not, and the people from all over the country can still get in on the nyan nyan action. So yes, there were a lot of people out partying this we바카라사이트ekend in New York gospelhitz— and that’s really something. We can only hope, I think, that they’ll remember and celebrate on a weekend like Sunday afternoon — with no alcohol, but no need to celebrate to feel that much better about yourself on a day that isn’t quite as bad as Saturday night.
We’ll have to wait and see if Nyan Nyan is even bac
