I saw 5 in about 20 minutes.

1 Excellent
2 Very small
3 Very small
4 Good
5 Quite good

But 5 was a pretty disappointing total really. I saw 7 in half an hour one night last month and that wasn't a meteor shower event, just an ordinary night.

Any particular direction that I should be looking?

They are called the Geminids because they appear to be coming from a location in the Gemini constellation. They can appear anywhere in the sky it is just the origin of their direction that appears to point to Gemini.

Anyway you can remember that for next December 14th!

2015 was a good opportunity though since it was a new moon.
