First of all  Happy New Year

All these traditional things like new year and Christmas show me how far away I really am from home and how different this culture is.

So what do Americans do on new years eve?   They surely have the drop of the ball in
New York running somewhere in the background. This is a old tradition a big ball is placed in front of the Rockefeller center in New York and on midnight it drops down. Wherefore the US has five time zones and in every time zone the local TV programs show the drop of the ball. Would be to funny if they would actually do it five times. Anyway we spend new years eve with a movie marathon so I finally got to see “The Dark Night” quid a good movie. The only thing that was missing was dinner for one which we use to watch every year. And it never gets any boring.

Otherwise my life is a little boring, watching “Valkyrie”, playing Guitar hero, reading a bock or just hanging out. Holidays are the best thing on earth.
