Wheter you're Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, or the like: the days at the end of a year are special and invite us to take stock of the bygone year. This blog is way below all thresholds of alertness. It's now one year old (and compared to the rest of the site quite young) and up to now it's pure fun. It's a possibility to practice my language, to keep an eye on the things I'm interested in and a chance to dedicate a certain amount of time and work in this website. Whether you want to comment on this or that or just lurk - come as you are and come back often! The rest of this posting takes you to the last island trip of this year: it's Kiritimati (Christmas Island) - not to be confused with Christmas Island!
