HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007!

Today, is the last day in 2006, so I wish everyone of you luck, health and everything you want in the next year.

I will still write my blog in 2007, so, see you next year :-)

First snow!

Hello,
today, Leipzig got the first snow for this winter. The snow is coming down very fast, and is still about 1,5cm.
I took two pictures. The first one will show you the snow at 12:45, the second, at 14:15. Its nice to see the snow falling down, but, the weather forecast said, it will be melt away in at least two days.

Christmas 2006

Hey! Merry Christmas!
It's 26th of December in Germany today, that means: second christmas day.
Here in Germany, there are 2 xmas days. 1st - 25th Dec., 2nd - 26th Dec. These two days are national holidays, so shops are closed and most people are at home, and not in their offices.

As you may know, in Germany, the people exchange their presents on 24th Dec. My family exchanges the presents on this day, in the afternoon, too.

I got Red Steel (Nintendo Wii game), Jelly Bean box (tasty sweets), kind of picture with my name in Katakana letters in it (ファビヤン), lots of other sweets and a Japanese decoration for my window. There are japanese (??) letters on it. Does anyone know, what these letters means?

See you
Fabi

Wii is here!

Hihi ^^"
Sorry that I didn't wrote here for a long time. The reason was, that I simply didn't knew what I should write here. But now, I found a topic to write about. As you may know, the newest Nintendo game console is called "Nintendo Wii". The American release was in November, the Japanese and Australian in December, and finally, Europe got Wii last week, on December 8th, too. I went to Saturn (a German electronic store) in the Leipzig main station. When I arrived there at 9:00, there were about 15 people waiting for the Wii. As the store opened at 9:20, there were about 75 people. Everyone went in our long row to the game-section of the store. At the Wii-point, they had about 100 consoles for sale. I got one of them, too! I also got the games "Zelda: Twilight Princess", "Wii Play" and the "Nunchuk Controller". The "Wii Sports" game was already included in the Wii box.

The main thing is the new controller of Wii, it is like a TV remote and it recognize your moves. So, in the Tennis game, you can swing your controller like when you are playing tennis. It is really interesting and very funny. Try it out, if you have a chance :-)

Btw.: Wii is sold out in Germany now.
