Day 2 of my travel blog

So today I am due to speak about how Christmas never ends, plants, Japanese and the perfect score.

The following picture I discovered when I first arrived at Disney World, quite a nice touch you might say. I say its slightly depressing.

IT NEVER ENDS!!!! Although it does raise an interesting question, when do you start planning for Christmas? When I was younger, Christmas always seemed to come earlier and earlier, but since I started doing A-levels, I've not had time to notice until almost the week beforehand. When does Christmas start? Nowadays, I tend to count from the day after Thanksgiving (How Americanized of me) when Black Friday starts. But it was an interesting question I posed myself. Comment with your opinion, I'd be curious to know. For those who know me, for the last 3 months I've been learning Japanese and decided to use this trip as an opportunity to brush up on my hiragana and (little bits of) kanji vocabulary, using lame methods I used for French and German. For those obsessed with me to the nth power, there's a little shot of my knee in the top left hand corner ;) it actually had very little improvement as I've yet to start covering kanji and katakana in any way, the Japanese bit at the start was easy enough, and the 'mi' katakana character was simple enough, not many other characters were understandable to me, I shall have to work harder. A ride I was on broke down halfway through, co-incidentally right by the area where you can get the most points (It was modelled on an arcade) and I managed to max out the point counter (Thus garnering the top rank) Now photos of plants, Central Florida seems to be a fascinating place horticulturally, it would appear that most plants seem to take to the soil and the climate (Except Alpine stuff, but well yeah, you wouldn't expect it to would you?) Below lie some of my favourite photos of flowers and plants I saw. Yes I've posted a photo of what would appear to be cabbage, and to my best knowledge, it is but look at the pretty structure, and the veins of the thing, I've got a closeup of those next. How can that not be slightly cool? Disgusting to eat yes, but very cool for observation. My final photo for the day I like because, looking back on it, it seems to have taken on a 'Yellow Brick Road' quality to it, initially being able to see individual flowers and stems, the stem is lost in the distance and takes on a surface-like quality. Coming tomorrow, poinsettiae (Or poinsttias depending on what the plural is)
