Christmas in Paris

Greetings from Paris!!!

Christmas is a magical time. The decorations on the streets, the crazy shoppers doing their last minuite Christmas shopping, all the feeling of love in the air as Christmas songs blares through loud speakers to warm the pedestrians up. Excellent!

I celebrated Christmas together with my birthday, so typical ^_^! Mo and I went to a really nice French restaurant called Kong (a little bit Jap fusioned, food and decor wise). I had foie gras, it was really good, for a first time trying something! Didn't cut any cake, but since I brought back "il panettone"(the Italian Christmas cake from Italy) when I visited Marc on a whirlwind trip just before Christmas, so we probably will try it tonight.

I've been having a nice holiday so far, apart from the cold weather. It hasn't been sunny since the last few days so there's a kind of depressing feel in the air. That's the problem with places up north. Italy is ok, lots of sun during the day!! But I am enjoying myself, between studying and rechecking out the places that I know.

Going to spend the next few days doing studying, and probably hang out with a group of people for new year's. Will also be trying to meet up with the French friends that I made while I was in Japan. The wonders of globalisation! lolz...

Oh well, Christmas shoutouts to all! Have a great one wherever you are.
