Basically the same here.

happy new year danimarka and isviçre.

I just finished watching der untergang, feels hit me hard.

Just sitting and doing nothing.

Found old unopened bottle of champagne (2010), decided to try it - not good, even no gas inside.

>>21802
I never knew they adopted Coca-Cola Santa in Russia.

Reporting in from 2019, feels like the future

>>21806
God damn, 2019? It felt like 2014 just a few months ago.

>still stuck in 2018
what do?

Happy new year Bernd! I hope you all have a great 2019.

Last night I saw the NHK temple bell show. It's a quiet show not the loud singing contest.

This year's foreigners are some Filipinos and Malaysians in an international airport. Last year I remember there were some alien residents.

>>21812
Uh....

>>21812
Is this not supposed to be in your Taiwan thread?

Still 2018 where I live

I have this tradition I do every year, kind of a ritual. Not public, don't ask. Nothing naughty anyway, just personal.

>>21803
- Houston, Houston! We have a problem!
- This is Houston, continue.
- The Soviets astronauts are painting the Moon red.
- Just let them do it. Houston out.
...
- Houston, the Russians just finished with the painting.
- Good. Now write Coca-Cola over it.

What are some new year traditions, believes Bernd's country have?
We eat lentils for lunch on the first day of the new year as it brings wealth. My family do this all the time but we still aren't rich. I'm starting to suspect it's bullcrap.

>>21825
They say to eat some sauerkraut for good luck in the new year. Have done it most every year of my life and would hate to see how bad things would be had I not.

>>21825

It's probably some very local belief, but if you can see full moon during new year, grandpa moon will bring hapiness to good people.

>>21829
How come the Moon is male?

>>21834
>tea
You bring glass cups to travel or they serve it?

>>21835
The emblem of the railway company is on the cup, I would steal it though as souvenir.

>>21833
Turkish mytology. Sun is more related with fertility and beauty so she is a female (though this rarely varies amongs different Turkic nations) Also one of our old totemic figure is gök börü (blue wolf) and it's related with moon.

>>21827
i put sauer kraut on more stuff than usual this year. I would venture to say 3x the kraut of a normal new year's.

>>21836
>I would steal it though as souvenir.
Cups are counted as consumables anyway, they break easily and people do steal it, so normally they are calculated in the prices.

>>21837
Curious.

>>21827
>>21838
I wonder about Burgermark's sauerkraut. I'm skeptical about it's taste. Not because I want to offend anybody but even here the quality is very varied. Also the used spices does matter.

>>21835
>>21836

Conductor sells tea ans coffee in these cups, cups of course aren't included in price. Conductor knows who ordered what, and tickets require passport, so you can't easily steal it. Although I don't want it anyway, it also could be just bought in specific shop.

>>21841
Pretty much all the sauerkraut sold in our grocery stores taste the same. They either come in a jar or bag and you just heat it or cook it with whatever else you're making.
I like it, it's one of those things I hated as a kid, but I'm guessing it's probably normal for kids not to like it as it's weird looking and pungent.
A few more artisanal restaurants will have better tasting sauerkraut but the american experience with it is pretty homogeneous I'd say.

>>21843
Well, it's not included per se, but it's a calculated loss built into the prices.
>tickets require passport
Brice of Freedom.

Happy new year Bernd!
I've met with som friends, had good time, stayed awake for very long. We had some vodka and rum and of course cheap russian pseudo-champagne which is sort of a tradition here.

>>21904
>cheap russian pseudo-champagne
Reminds me.
Two pals meet.
- What did you get for Christmas?
- Bunch of great stuff. Czech beer, Polish vodka, Soviet caviar, German wurst, Hungarian beat album. You?
- Similar. Hungarian beer, Czech vodka, German caviar, Polish wurst, Soviet beat album.

>>21849
>Brice of Freedom.

It is long distance train (1000 km). Small suburban trains still don't require passports, but I'm sure that this would change in future.

>>21904
>soviet champagne

Why? It isn't _that_ bad actually, in past Soviet Champaign manufacturing process was pretty modern (although there is hundreds of manufacturers now with questionable quantity).

But why? Especially not in Russia.

>>21963
>Norge
What a surprise. How are you? Beside the feel.

>>21964
It feels good that /kc/ is so active, I was afraid it wouldn't make it to 2019. Let's make it to 2020 Bernd.

>>22151
>Let's make it to 2020 Bernd.
If /kc/ would have just a little bit more active posters.
