This year's Christmas seems very special and important to me, since I have never attached such great importance to Christmas as in this year. After all, it is my first Christmas abroad to me, celebrated with my foreign friends. Christmas is not so important to us Chinese as the Spring Festival, although some of the youth are into it very much and although each year of the last 20 years in my life except for last year when I was far away from my parents, I could get a secret present from Santa Clause. However, when all your friends are looking forward to the coming a certain festival, when gorgeous lights are put up in every corner of the streets, you will naturally get to expect it. We held a little party today on the first floor in our dormitory, with all the things we made by ourselves.
Sachi, my dear Vietnam friend, with whom I will start off to Okinawa for a four-day travel tomorrow, made extremely delicious and palatable Vietnam Spring Rolls and salad. Two of my Korean friends supplied us with Korean Kim-chi, which proved to be rather popular. I made Eggnog for the first time, which is considered to be a special beverage for Christmas. I was really happy to find that it turned out to be popular among us.
Our 4 Japanese friends also joined us, one of whom made us a big strawberry cream cake, which was after all eaten up by us. Although the party did not start until 8 o'clock late in the evening, we still had a great time talking with each other and enjoying the food and drink.
While there will still be a real Christmas party tomorrow evening where people will change presents and have alluring food and drink, obviously, I can not take part in it, which is really sad, because of the Okinawa trip. Our departure is at noon. Sachi and I will meet another two girls, one Vietnamese and one Filipino at Fukuoka Airport. I hope we can enjoy ourselves there in Okinawa. It is said that it is extremely beautiful with clear and beautiful sea and interesting culture, and that is why I have been looking forward to the trip all the time. At first I thought I would never be able to visit the charming place any more during this one year in Japan, since it appeared to be no time. But then, when I got to know that my journey to Vietnam and Cambodia was canceled because of the trouble visa problem, I realized that it could be a great chance for me now to take a visit to the fantastic resort, as Sachi was inviting me to go with them.
It seems that I have to go and pack my baggage now, since I have done nothing about it.
Anyway, Merry Christmas~~~~~!!
