We were invited to a neighbour's apartment for dinner last night. Yummy korean barbecue. Everything was excellent, and I especially like the bee-hoon and beef. I experimented with the lamb but as feared, it was less successful for me.
Christmas is not celebrated in the UAE. So the only thing that make me bill this as a Christmas makan was because we had bought presents for the children.
Back home, without fail for almost 20 years now, the same old friends will meet for a simple dinner and chit chat until the early hours of the morning. The children will be at the basement of the house having their greatest fun of the year. So you can understand how sad our girls were to live Christmas here as just another work day.
Well, at least we make some calls home to our old friends with our speaker phone on the 24th.
