Well, our first international Christmas. We decided to host lunch at our place with some of our close Thai friends.
Lunch comprised roast pork, roast turkey and of course a ham - the latter took a lot of walking-around tyring to find a half-leg, not such a common thing here, but I got one! - and some of our families’ favourite traditional salads. Pete and I had also made a Christmas cake a few days before, to a recipe which is a hybrid of both of our mothers’, with a bit of local dried fruits and other touches.

Our guests for lunch were Khun Dao, who works in our building, and Khun Pae and Georges, work colleagues of Pete’s. We also had a second sitting, for dinner, for Khun Aom and Khun Poo, my Thai teachers from school. Khun Dao was the stayer who was with us for both, and then cocktails late into the night!

It was a lovely day which everyone enjoyed - it was nice to have some friends to spend the day with when our own families were so far away, which we really felt.
To all of our families and friends, we wish you all the best for a Happy Christmas and a wonderful Year 2007. We miss you loads and can’t wait to see you all again, be it here in Bangkok or back wherever home may be.
