  2. Happy new year every one !!!
    This wa my first New Year's Eve in the UK!
    I celebrated it my host family. We went to their friends's home. I was very curious to see how English people say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one. I have not found many differences from the way we do it in my country (Italy). We had a few drinks, we danced and at midnight we went out to watch the fireworks.I reckon I would have done the same thongs had I spent New Years's Eve in Italy. The only big difference was that I was surrounded by people speaking a foreign language !!!!
    I had a great time! Happy new year again !!

  3. Happy new year! I've already thought up my resolutions,sometimes my resolutions and statistics suffer :) Anyway, I have two resoluyions, first one is to continue training. Because above all, it's good for my health. Next is certainly to improve my English skill. Last one day more, my English skill improved just little bit, I think. When I go back to Japan, I intend to continue studying English.
