Lovely Pre-Christmas

HEY!

One more week and it’s all over. But let’s enjoy it while it lasts!

We had a very lovely, productive pre-Christmas week here in Hai Phong.

On Tuesday I actually randomly got together with an old friend from South Africa who was travelling around Vietnam! It was very refreshing, and of course, fun. Had a lovely hot pot dinner and moved onto having some coffee and drinks with some live music.

A friend of mine had organised a Christmas celebration at a local orphanage for Wednesday. We wrapped up gifts and headed there after work. The kids were absolutely adorable, and the event worked out really well. We played some games and sang songs. In the end, we gave the kids new toys and everything. It really boosted up my Christmas spirit and was a great experience.

After dinner, we moved to my friend’s house to have a little dinner party together. The boys had been promising to feed us some eyeballs, but until I saw the pig heart, eyeballs and brains on a plate I didn’t believe them. Well, all I am going to say about that is that you have to try everything once, right?

On Thursday we were developing our pool and poker skills again. The pool is starting to go quite well! Poker not so much. Friday was my first girls’ night in here! It was great; some yummy red wine in an old cigar club. Not exactly what the boys thought we were up to!

Now I am off to do some more Christmas shopping. I found myself a perfect Christmas tree dress so I am excited to wear it later for our special live Christmas music evening.

Love,

Mira
