getting in the spirit

Other than the constant Christmas jiggles played everywhere , it is different trying to get into the Christmas mood.  We took a stroll down 'fashion' alley.  Streets downtown seem to each have a speciality.  There is shoe street, sports street, fabric street... and so on.  For part of these streets every store sells the specific items.  We went to fashion street and found many stores giving 50% sales - end of 'winter ' sale.  What winter!!!! The signs actually said 'End of Winter Sale'.
Frank got a pair of Doc Martin shoes at half price and I found a pair of black silk pants.

We stopped for lunch at a favourite place that Frank goes to when downtown - Kafé.

Here he is showing off our purchases.  That evening was the staff party.  An enjoyable affair with everyone dressing up.

I was pretty tired Sunday and so we kept it simple.  There was a guitar concert downtown but instead we did a long walk and then put up our few decorations.

Fire in the TV and a few lights and candles as well as some tunes and wine.

I have my last week at school and hope to get my Residency card tomorrow so that we can head out to Phu Quoc Island on Saturday.
