Despite theses days being the main holiday season here, it is rather a quite time, families coming together often from far distances. And there are just no fireworks at all. As my girlfriend returned today, we had to get up early and skipped heavy partying, instead dancing to the tunes of the danube waltz home, after we heard the temple bells starting around midnight. Later on we followed customs and visited a shrine in the neighbourhood bowed and drank some warm sake afterwards. Much happiness and all the best for 2008!
It's the Year of the rat now!
