This was taken at the start of December last year, the staff at my apartment always do something to make us Westerners feel at home during the yuletide period, a lonely time for a single LaoWei in a foreign country.

Before you look at the picture I’ll remind you that the staff (I like to think of them as heroes) are not paid for this and do not even celebrate Christmas but every year they work tirelessly putting up decorations and making the place look Christmassy.

Anyway, last year they pulled out all the stops to produce this magnificent display, I can’t imagine how they’re going to follow it this year!
