Merry Christmas, Mate....


We are leaving for OZ (Australia) in the morning. I will try and post on our trip, but no promises.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Santa Brunch

The OWC (Oversees Women's Club) put on a santa brunch for the kids. They arrange for different crafts for the kids, sing Christmas carols and best of all they get a special appearance by Santa.



After the kids get their presents from Santa then it was time to eat. The event was held at my favorite hotel, Asiana, so you know (from past posts) that the food was amazing.
It was a nice touch to get into the holiday spirit.

Indian Wedding

We were invited to Sathya (Ben's secretary) and Jay's wedding this past week. That is the first funny part....it was during the week. The reception was on Tuesday evening at 7pm and the actual wedding ceremony was Wednesday morning at 6am.
The reception was to greet the couple take photos (snaps as they are called here) and be part of a video.
After the photo session, it was time to eat. There was no shortage of food. They kept piling it on your plate, I mean banana leaf. The food was served out of metal buckets and stored in huge metal bowls.






The food was great. I was looking forward to wedding cake, but no such luck. We had

to settle for ice cream.

What's next....Dancing? Not here....It was time to go home since the wedding ceremony is at 6am in morning. I hope you enjoy the slideshow of the ceremony. The traditions and rituals are truly amazing.

This experience was worth getting up at 4:30 am!
