Holidays are coming...

...just not quite quickly enough!

I have 3 more days to work before I can relax for 10 days or so. I have to work the next 2, then I have a day off, then one more before the big break. Bring it on!

SInce my last post, Gifu has been all white. That is, it snowed last Tuesday, and it has remained under a certain amount of snow ever since. The white stuff peaked on Sunday night/monday morning, when I couldn't actually get into my appartment. After spending the night at a co-teacher's place, I got home to discover the steps to my flat were nothing more than a minature ski slope, which would be ideal for any child (or midget) with a snowboard. However- there were none around, so I started digging. With a dust pan. It was all I had and it took about an hour- but it was quite good fun to be honest.

It has been cold this week, but I took a hoover to the vents of my heater and that seems to have done the trick. Happy days.

Next week promises much- Christmas Day sees a family reunion of sorts- I will see my cousins and my aunt and uncle- befoire flying to Korea for a few days on Boxing day. I can't wait, but I have too. :(
