Good on ya Santa...lunch at ProvenceUnfortunately Christmas is not one of the many, many holidays that Chinese people celebrate, so finding a venue to celebrate it proved very hard......and with no ovens in sight and only 2 gas rings, cooking was somewhat out of the question! Luckily the Blue Bar came to the rescue and hired out Provence (a very nice western restaurant) and we were able to eat Turkey on Christmas Day (minus the Cranberry sauce but gravy was flowing a plenty).
Our table for Christmas LunchWe were greeted with many stares the whole day as we waltzed about in our Christmas gear and Christmas hats. I was very lucky to have gotten some Christmas crackers from my lovely brother and sister, which made the spirit of Christmas more present and made everyone wear lovely, silly hats! - My secret plan!
Belinda, Tanya and ITalking to Mum, Dad, Justin and Katie was fantastic and getting to open my presents from them with them there was great! I was so spoiled with all of my NZ things including books, jandels (oh yeah), sheep droppings, t-shirts, twister and Mo-Mite (oh yeah!) , to mention a few! Also having a few glasses of bubbly with Mum and Dad over skype on Christmas Eve afternoon, was fantastic..oh the joys of technology!
Tanya my 'date' was hilarious and we were in hysterics most of the day. She is another NZ teacher teaching in an International School in KL!
Tanya 'my date' showing off her Porno Santa hat and lovely scarf, a Christmas present from Provence!Unconventionally, after lunch, we dropped the boys off at the pub and went in search of Christmas Day bargins at H and M! Very nice discounts for a country that does not celebrate! Christmas Day cocktails were in order afterwards, then it was home to do a quick tidy up and pack for Shanghai to pick up David.
Kiwi girls away from Home, make the best of it by having a laugh!However, Tracy was having something to say about that and it was back down to her house for more Aussie Everton, Hairspray and then a rather spectacular dance off between Tanya and myself...and yes......it was caught on camera....unfortunately not mine!
I hope that everyone had an amazing Christmas!
Big Christmas hugs and kisses,
