God morgon Karin! Hur mår du?

Varsågod! Jag skrattade när du sa "dina rader på wall" lol The high school kids är 14 till 18. Nej, jag såg dem spela på scenen. Jag hade aldrig hört talas om Spotify, och det är inte tillgänglig i USA. :-( Är det kul? Det snöar nu, men det är inte så kallt.

It was in the morning when I started writing this message, so I said, "God morgon Karin!", but it took so long to write that it's almost noon now! LOL

God kväll!

I guess now it's your turn to be sleeping. It's about 2:13 am over there, and it's 8:13 pm here. :-)

Ah, that's so true, I don't really get a chance to be with small children but have lots of opportunities to be with high school kids. They do keep me young! lol

It's snowing now. What's the weather like?

Yuri

Hallå is like another hello in Swedish?

Yeah, I am enjoying winter. Actually I prefer the cold weather. Wow, I haven't done that for such a looooong time! How did you get a chance to do that? Just decided to do it today? "Yes! I am going to enjoy going downhill with a sledge today!!!!"

It was pretty warmer during the day today, but it's back to the cold night. I guess it's still January after all! :P

Talk to you soon!

Just stopped by to say "Helloooooooo!" :-)

Gott nytt år!

God Jul till dig and メリークリスマス (Merry Christmas in Japanese)！

I will e-mail you soon!

Yuri

God eftermiddag Karin,

Sorry, I need to write you back in English today as I'm a bit busy. It would take all night if I try to write in Swedish. : P

Anyway, yes, I do have spoiled dogs! Haha. But we were renting a house before we bought this house. The owner wanted us to leave the house within two months (a long story), but we couldn't find any place that would take three dogs, so we decided to buy a house, so that no one could kick us out. That's how we bought this house. : )

I assume that people are busy Christmas shopping over there too? I have bought some and am almost done (still need to buy something for the dogs and the cat! lol). We'll be spending a very quiet time on both Christmas and New Year's Eve. I'm sorry to hear your father is in the hospital. Hur gammal är han?

Jag kommer från Sapporo. Frankly I don't get along with my parents, well, this is a long story too. I'll write you about it later on. Yes, it'll be nice for you to see your aunt again. Time for you to visit Germany soon?

Wow, I'm very impressed! How long will it take to finish the study? You must get really busy when you have classes. I'm not good at translating at all. I mean, Japanese - English. Yikes.

I will write in Swedish next time. : )

Have a great weekend too!

Yuri

Oh, you know "matane"? That's cool! For a moment I thought that was a Swedish word! XD

God kväll Karin,

Jag är bara bra. Tack. Är du student på universitet?­ Vilken typ av uppsats måste du skriva?

Haha, ja, det koster mycket. Vi arbetar för att mata dem! Vi köpte det här huset för dem också. XD

Hm, jag ska tillbringa julen bara med min man. Jag har ingen familj i USA utom min man. Mina föräldrar bor i Japan. Min man är amerikan men ..... how do you say "he does not get along with his family"­ ? So, that's why we're going to have a quiet time together with our pets on Christmas just like any other years. Besöker du din far ofta? Jag har inte varit i Japan i 13 år. XD

Vi ses,
Yuri

God kväll!

Bara en eller två dagar om året!? Vi har mycket snö här varje år. Jag har tre hundar (Siberian Husky, German Shepherd and German Shephed/Golden Retriever mix) och en katt. Jag älskar djur. : )

Jag äter inte så mycket på morgnarna också. Jag dricker apelsinjuice och äter bagel med färskost (cream cheese?).

Nu är det dags att äta middag.

Yuri

Hej.

Vi har lite snö här, men det är inte tillräckligt för att göra en snögubbe. Det är så vackert och jag ska ta mina hundar på en promenad senare.

Jag kan inte leva utan internet! XD Jag läser mycket på engelska och japanska, och jag kan lära mig svenska också. (oxå! Cool, I've never seen that before! Thank you for teaching me)

Vad äter du normalt till frukost?

Yuri
