Gearing-up for the holiday break can mean for some the ritual act of packing suitcases, boarding a plane and traveling great distances to be with loved ones. As the old Japanese proverb wisely states, `Who travels for love finds a thousand miles not longer than one.'
However, other UT students that we interviewed have chosen instead for something different than a long journey home, hunkering-down in Twente to study, visit local attractions or connect with friends.
Wherever you may find yourself this holiday break- whether it be around a table of delicious food or watching the night sky light-up with fireworks or perhaps even stealing a quiet moment to contemplate the year gone by- may your journey be comprised of much joy and happiness. We hope you enjoy this holiday edition.
