Full house at Christmas Eve

This time we beat our record I think. We had a grand total of 61 persons in our “soho” place (office/home), a varied group from Belgium, Bulgaria, China, France, Germany, Holland,  Romania, UK, USA and maybe some E.T. All there to eat the best turkey in the world, plus all other dishes. All prepared by Sun who commandeered the kitchen. I took care of cutting the huge bird and making sure the guests had enough to drink.

We had completely re-arranged the office space. But by 11:30pm when everyone was gone, all dishes were clean, all furniture back in place and no trace of the party. We were exhausted but happy.
I ended the night by emptying some bottles and we all crushed in bed….
Thanks to all our friends who made it a great night through their cheerful presence and thanks to many who lend a helping hand (though I am suspicious they were also in the kitchen to “taste” some of the food?)
Thanks also to Karin and Wilfried for their pics.

One more year and welcome 2011

The day of 31 December is very special for me and now only insiders are supposed to know.


This year we decided to keep it all quiet and spend New Year’s Eve at Morel’s Restaurant (Gongti Bei Lu), leaving us in the good hands of Susan.
As usual we ate a lot, I drank a lot and we had fun.
A good way to end “the” year and start a new one.
We also saw rabbits, the sign of another year coming very soon.
To all our friends, a Happy 2011!
