This was my first Christmas what wasn’t white. Well, I suppose that if you count when I was born, it would be my second Christmas. For sure it was the farthest away from home. Weird too. Here Christmas is not an official Holiday. Pretty much a normal Friday night. I mean there was some decorations and sales but nothing compared to the States. So, here is what I did.
Instead of roasting chestnuts I was roasting some meat. Man style. Christmas Eve.
Chicken, beef, some thing that’s kinda like a potato.
Banfan. Rice pot, whatever you want to call it. Nice.
Tend the meat. It’s very important so that you don’t burn the h out of it. Universal around the world.
This is a fish.
39元 all you can eat. Oh, I forgot, all you can drink too.
Afterward we walked around a bit. Strawberries.
A church. This is the first church that I have seen here in the PRC. It was packed too.
Christmas night we went to eat some dumplings. It was Friday night, apparently everyone else had the same idea.
Food on stick. Boiling in water.
The night market.
A fruit cart. Sugar cane, watermelon, pineapple, etc…
We stopped off at a place that has, well, we’re regulars now. Here the dude is making our food. 粘糕。 Something like sticky cake or, well, hell maybe it doesn’t translate.
But it was good. Christmas dinner. Chinese food and beer. Actually this is what I do most nights. So not that special really. But awesome nonetheless.
More hot steamy food action.
We saw a vendor with some make-up. I found this especially interesting since, most of my family work at this brands factory in the States. At least I think they do. I don’t know much about the manufacturing of there, however I am guessing that these are either made where my relatives work or here. Either way, these are fake, stolen, or fell off the back of a truck. Guy didn’t like me taking a photo. Guessing they weren’t too legit. But maybe, who really knows.
