Winter Vacation

Well, here we are. December 23rd - a national holiday (the Emperor's Birthday) and the first day of our winter vacation.

The official holiday period in Japan is from December 29th to January 3rd or so, and Brian and I are privleged to be working for a company that generously gives us from the 23rd to the 9th off this year.

In case you're wondering, the fact of being on vacation hasn't quite sunk in. Last night we celebrated with a little bubbly but today we went to buy kerosene to further ward off the winter chill.

The winter, however, will chill us no more! On Sunday (Christmas day) we are leaving for Bangkok, and from there to (perhaps)Koh Chang, where the sun is hot and the beer is cold!
