A few days before Christmas I was able to go to a buffet BBQ restaurant in Zhuhai with some friends. It was a lot of fun! We had a difficult time finding it, as we went to the wrong mall---right address, but wrong mall, as they are at the same intersection! (They like their shopping here!) It was a fun experience, and one of the waiters was a university student in New Zealand who was home for Christmas break, and so his English was excellent! The food was really good, and it was a fun experience for us!
Christmas Eve was nice. Before our candlelight service, I went to a coworker's house and helped decorate some edible decorations! It was fun to do crafty things! :) After the candlelight service, we went to the Ruins of St. Paul where they had a nice Christmas Carol-singing event. There was a massive crowd of people who came to listen to local Christian singing groups sing and share the Gospel message! It is a Christmas Eve tradition.
On Christmas day, it was a wonderful experience to do some modified Christmas caroling. It was modified because we basically just went to 3 staff member's homes and sang a few songs, ate some treats, and talked. I had fun playing with our vicar's 4-year-old daughter along with some others! :) Afterwards, we had a low-key staff dinner where we enjoyed the leftovers from Christmas caroling plus a beautiful spread of delightful American food.
Pictures from the aforementioned events are found below. Enjoy! :)
