Seasonal greetings

Yeah, it's that time of the year again. I know it's not a popular thing to say, but i am no fan of it. Anyways.

Funnily enough, x-mas is not a family celebration for the Japanese. You know, they have no Christian background like people e.g. in Europe, they just took this opportunity to celebrate because they liked it and adapted it in their way. Which means that x-mas here is more something for couples, a time when you go for a fancy dinner in a restaurant with your girl-/boyfriend. X-mas spirit in tha house.

A nice video, classic, in German, about "Weihnachten":



And a picture from today's lunch in Todai's cafeteria:

Looked yummy behind the display window. When i bought the ticket to get this Ramen the friendly lady behind the window was a little worried and made sure that i really want this "kurisumasu ramen" (get it?) because it is with milk.
Was actually quite tasty! And it did not remind me of any kurisumasu-taste i knew so far :)

So, happy celebrations, everyone!
よいおとしを！
(that'd be "Guten Rutsch!" in German)

I'll be in Hokkaido, far up in the north end of Japan, for the next two weeks, so, see you next year (またらいねん！）!
