Monkey business

Christmas came and went. We tried our best to hold christmas here in the International House and did ok.
Hard to get into the christmas mood when you have school though. Not that I am a very christmassy person myself, not at all, it is just different from what I am used to. For example, I had 5th period class on the 24th of December. That period is from 16:45 - 18:15. So when I left the classroom, then if I would have been at home, I would have been sitting down to eat dinner. It didn't bother me as much as I make it sound here, but it was just a little different, that's all.

Went to Arashiyama monkey park a few days ago. That was pretty amazing. I have uploaded pictures and videos of that trip. The monkeys there are native to Japan. You can read more on them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_macaque

Going to Tokyo, finally, on the 3rd of January. Will stay for 2 nights in a hotel. Won't be staying much in the hotel, I'm guessing, since there is enough to see right outside it... Will meet my cousin and see some crazy things, hopefully.

Vona að nýja árið verði ykkur farsælt, þakka ykkur fyrir þau gömlu.
Hope 2008 will be good to you.
よいお年を！
