-Hey Jeremy!
-Hey Lisa! You look so fresh! Nice holidays, huh?
-Yeah, that was awesome! We've spent a week in the mountains with my family.
-Really? What were you doing there?
-Well, nothing special, just camping. Though, I've enjoyed it so much! You know, fresh air, amazing views... What about your vacation?
-Ugh... There's nothing much to tell about. Really, that was one huge failure.
-Huh? Why so?
-Let me tell you something about our flight, to start with.
-Yep, sure! Go ahead!
-So, we've booked our flight something like a week before the journey itself. That was our first problem.
-What happened?
-Obviously, when it all came to collecting tickets from the flights office, it appeared that our reservation just didn't work!
-What?
-Yes! Actually, they told us that they didn't have any tickets for that flight already! Imagine us, staying it T-shirts and shorts, with all those suitcases... and completely confused! That was embarassing!
-I can imagine. What happened next?
-Anyway, we made our way on that island with another traveling company. But as soon as we arrived to the hotel, we have realised that it was terrible! Those old rooms with horrible furniture and bathroom with insects... Yuks! But we seemed to be rather optimistic as we didn't do any harm to the hotel staff. We just bought three tents and spent the whole night at the beach!
-Wow! That must be great.
-I wouldn't say so. Anyway, you see... There was a storm coming from the ocean, and...
-And..?
-Our tents, just as all our suitcases and other stuff bere just blown away!
-Oh my god, that is horrible! How did you get back home?
-With help of God. I don't know why, but we became extremely lucky after what happened - we went to Embassy and were provided with help in being transported back home!
-Wow... Heh, nice vacation.
-Exactly!
New Year - one of my favorite holidays. You give gifts, dress up a Christmas tree, fireworks, lights, feeling the holiday! .. White-bearded old man in a red coat gives all gifts. Someone dressed up in a costume of the Snow Queen, and asks Kai add the letters "A", "P", "O", "M" - the word "happiness." Someone is going to hold a grand competition, and some prefer to conduct "Egghead." Yes, everyone has his own plans. But everyone in preparing for this wonderful holiday. Imagine how many people will go for gifts, buy a Christmas tree out of cookies and giving, they are sent a postcard, and someone to send congratulations to the drugs. And someone gave Kysam board site, and himself on the run. Imagine how many people will be online! But we are all united by one love and the holiday atmosphere of the New Year!
