Happy Christmas!!

I want to wish everyone a very happy Christmas! Hope you have a nice time and stuff your faces with loads of lovely food!

Feels weird here cos it's 19 degrees on Christmas day! We will be having turkey today, which will be cool!

Went around the market today. It's pretty cool. Not sure if Dalian has similar markets on the streets. They sell everything. One woman even had half a shark, which she was carving up. Should have brought my camera!

You can definitely feel that Taiwan is more westernised and there is more money about the place than in the mainland. Way more private cars and more English about the place.

It reminds me more of Malaysia than of the parts China that I've been to, with the style of houses and sights and smells. Well, maybe this place is similar to Southeast China. I haven't been there yet.

Happy holidays to you! Just back from Florida, it's ranges from 6 to 20 degrees over there. Still better than Ireland. ;)

Just reading your blog, wow.. that is a pretty long trip you have planned there! Have fun.

Oh, Son Leen Fai Lok (Happy New Year in Cantonese).
