A Lousy Xmas

Gosh Christmas in Thailand is lousy compared to back home in Edmonton. Not much of a holiday here, people and kids dress up in Santa hats, all the stores, embassies etc stay opened. Of course there is no family, no snow or general Christmas cheer. The hotel staff give you a half felt Merry Christmas and you hear a few Christmas songs (Frosty The Snowman) occasionally but that’s about it. Christmas is not Christmas in Thailand.

Hopefully New Years in Vietnam is better. I fly to Hanoi tomorrow afternoon. Plan on having a nice Thai meal and massage before I sleep early. Will wake up well rested for a new country tomorrow.
