I had my first Xmas party of the year.  My Vietnamese language teacher hosted the party.  It was a great night and we sang a few carols and ate some great food, a beef stew with bread and then a Xmas Cake (pineapple) for dessert.  It was a mixture of Vietnamese, Koreans, Philippines and Aussies so it made for some interesting discussions and there were a few language barriers.

On the way home I go through town, and a drunken Santa (aka a tourist dressed as Santa) decided to walk out in front of me on my scooter.  Tragedy was adverted through my skilful driving and Santa got a loud blast from my horn.  The lights here are amazing, so when Niels gets here we will do a tour and capture some of it.
