Because a lot of (most, actually) the expats go home for Christmas, they do their company events & official Christmas parties early in December...
Our school also closed for the year on the 6th, so we had our year-end party & Cultural day for them then..complete with lunch, C'mas gifts & raffle (all thanks to our many wonderfully generous & kind-hearted sponsors)..
At the Berger Christmas Bazaar on the last Saturday of November..Notice the German Gluwien (I'm sure it's spelled wrong...correct me, Germans..) in my hand...while Mary looks on enjoying Dutch Heineken (loved equally by Germans, obviously)..
Sampling sweet potatoes in coconut milk at the Thai food stand (at least that's what the sign said)...it sounds bad, but it was surprisingly "delightful"..of course, out of theme with the German saugage stand that had about a 3-mile cue behind it...forget it, right?..But hey, for all I know i was correctly in theme with a traditional Thai C'mas...Any Thai's out there to concur with or deny this speculation?
The 'Secondary School Singers' group perform an accapela of the '12 days of Christmas'..they were pretty good actually..
Proud parents enjoying the show..
w/ Mary, a friend, & Arturo at the PW Christmas party last Saturday..(PW is an Irish construction company that have been supporting our projects for the last 4 or 5 years at least.. every year they put up a great Christmas party complete with full traditional C'mas dinner & even Irish cider (sported above) this was my 3rd PW C'mas party, and I'd say the best as far as the actual partying, although last year's food was better (this year they had less of a spread and the abscence of home-made desserts, due to a lot of the wives traveling out early)...
Look how big she's getting? Unfortunately for her, not quite big enough for Irish Cider...a couple more years, Chloe...
Chloe & Mary doin' the "Booty-Bang"..we got to some serious dancing after the kids left, but hey, no one to take pics then..so i'll leave u w/ this lovely shot..
