Christmas has hit Japan and how they go for it here. Some of the decorations look nice - some hideous. One of the Christmas trees near where I live has been entirely drenched in gaudy purple sheets. You can barely see tree beneath it. Now I know you could possibly say the same is true in the UK, but I'd still argue its worse here and as for the canned music - I have never heard so many bad variations of Jingle bells.
There. I've done it, the compulsory moan about Christmas. You can take a girl out of England....Actually I am looking forward to Christmas out here. It will be my first away from home and that will be wierd but there is plenty of stuff to do here and I get two and a half weeks to travel round and do some cool things. Like breaking my legs snowboarding for example.
Had fun celebrating my birthday on Saturday. We really did it in style. I perhaps was not as restrained as I should have been on the old beerus and gin n tonicus but then again it was my quarter of a century. Of course karaoke was involved and I got to bed at 9am he he. oops.
Have got a really busy couple of weeks coming up before the holiday. I am moving into a new and much nicer flat with a couple of other teachers so I'm looking forward to that but it does mean that I also have to repeat just about all the paperwork I had to do when I first got here. I will have to make yet more use of my 'please be gentle I'm a foreigner' face.
