Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all had a great time this year. We missed you and thought of you all. Our build up to Christmas was very different. There were so many things that we missed - our family, our friends, the social gatherings and tree-decorating parties, the turkey and trimmings, and of course, the snow and the skiing. It was very odd lying on the beach in the baking sun hearing Doris Day on the breeze
'Walking in a winter wonderland'. However, somehow we rallied, and had a great time with the people we had met this week. Also, a friend of ours, Kevin, who we'd met about 2 months ago in Pingyao, China, coordinated with us to meet up with us for Xmas and it was great to catch up with him. We spent Christmas eve with the friendly staff from the little bar on the beach called Moonshine Bar. They are really a lot of fun and we ended up boogie-ing the night away at a local dance bar.
Christmas day at 3am we walked home on the beach and encountered some very cool phosphoresence at the edge of the water. There were also some locals launching huge paraffin gas lanterns into the air - we don't know why, but presumably for some celebratory reason. Xmas day itself was chilled and we hung out on a small secluded beach followed by meeting up with a crew of people for Xmas dinner. Unfortunately, it wasn't turkey, but it was probably the next best thing - pizza!! And very good pizza too! The melted cheese was fantastic - we don't get that very often here in Asia! * Mush
