I don't know about you, but I was SO ready for this winter break to begin. Sleep, good food, great friends and festive drinks are more than enough to put me in the Christmas spirit. My break started yesterday and I already feel much more relaxed, nay, overjoyed by the thought of not working until next year. And for those who keep asking, yes, I do still love it in London, and no, I shall not be returning soon. A better idea would be for you to come visit me...Ask Santa for a plane ticket!
Here's a bit on what I've been up to:
Borough MarketMeandering: I've been exploring more of the city, most notably the various markets before it gets too cold to venture outside. Borough Market is amazing, full of crazy food I've never heard of from all over the world. Delicious...
Protest the Hero concert: One word - AWESOME! Went with a fellow Canadian to enjoy some Whitby metal. I even got to meet the guitarist, Tim, pictured above, who was super nice. Got a little moshing out of my system and saw Propagandhi who were headlining. This was the second time I saw Propagandhi headline when I was really there to see another band, but they put on a great show too. Went to quite a few concerts this past month...I love London. 
Other happenings: Met a really nice guy...Things are going well, though he'll be moving away for a bit soon, but not for too long. I'm also gearing up for another country, but just for a visit. The time has come for my fateful return to Japan! That's right, I will be in Osaka for about a week and plan to surround myself with j-weirdness all over again...Details to come!
Christmas is in full swing in London with lots of lights and decorations everywhere. So I leave you with my sincerest Christmas wishes, and this video of the creepiest Santa ever. Catch him at the Hyde Park Christmas Market where he'll be giving children nightmares for years to come.
