The (almost) final countdown
Yippie! It's not only weekend, but there are also only three more weeks to go before our holidays start... and the last week doesn't really count, since Johanna will be showing ALL her students a Christmas movie. We haven't decided on one yet, so if you know an excellent Christmas related movie, please let us know NOW. THX! We'd be grateful for a good one, since we'll probably be able to recite it after watching it ten times...
Lee's difficult computer classes have now finished, and he will only be teaching 9 hours/ week as compared to his 24 hours/ week he taught before. So now there is no excuse for him not to be studying hard on Chinese.
Belgium weather has caught up with us here (don't tell us it's sunny over there, because we know it can't be!!). But the thought of the summer in New Zealand is keeping us happy.
Talking of which, thanks to Isa and Tanja for the tips on New Zealand: As a matter of fact, we will be going there in January, Isa, which you warned us about... I am looking forward to meet half of my fellow Germans!
We will keep you posted on our Christmas experience here in Golden C.

Hey there!
I did some googling for a christmas film I really really enjoyed and wanted to see again myself, and I think I found it on imdb:

Almost sure it's the one. I don't know how you're going to get it in China though. Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas might be more realistic and is very nice too.
Enjoy!
Hey Johanna and Lee!
You should definitely do the TONGARIRO CROSSING on the North Island and also visit the BAY OF ISLANDS there. The South Islans is sooo beautiful - you have to see everything. I especially enjoyed the Abel Tasman Walk, Milford Sound, Malborough Sound, the glaciers (if the weather is great...), Pancake Rocks, ... just buy Lonely Planet and do everything that is recommended... we travelled for six weeks... it was ok, but not enough time to enjoy all of the beauty of that country.
You'll fall in love with it!!!!
Hugs from Germany,
Doro
