A year in Nagasaki

A desription of my final preparations during august and the fun time in Amsterdam during that time up to my year at the university of Nagasaki from the 1st october 2005 thru august 2006. Together with 9 other students from the University of Leiden, Holland, we are on an extra-curricular year to improve our conversational skills. Will it work ??

X-mas

The weather is sunny and not too cold and it feels great to be back home in Amsterdam, where Paul and our friend Nancy have made the house look very Christmassy..... with a tree and prezzies. After Paul picked me up from the airport and a fab prosecco to celebrate my homecoming we headed over to Leon & Stefan where we had a X-mas eve dinner..relaxed atmosphere and good food. Arrived back home at 12.30 am. and crashed after more than 26 hours on the go.
We unpacked the prezzies yesterday morning from Cambodian scarves to Cookbooks from Dar es Salaam and Starbucks coffee from Nagasaki.
Today we will go tou my in-laws in Alkmaar where we will have dinner and a generally merry old time.

    You just look SO at home!!! It must be wonderful to be back in AMsterdam. Hope you had the best Christmas. Had a really good time in Scotland but Mum is not doing well. The Parkinsons is progressing more rapidly than we hoped. Am now back at work until Friday then a hectic New Year. It'll all end in tears. Not long now till I see you on Tuesday. Really looking forward to it.
    Love to you all. Yours always, Chris, xxxx
