Festive Season

At the beginning of December the festive season got underway as Christmas decorations began to appear.

Hong Kong is pretty impressive at Christmas.    Many of the buildings in Hong Kong were illuminated by Christmas lights, especially those on the harbour front.   

The ICC has a LED display across the whole building which was programmed to show snowflakes falling and reindeer pulling santa's sleigh across the sky



Parkview was also heavily decorated with lights around the entrance and the clubhouse

Gingerbread Houses.  Hannah and Rika made this one.  (from a kit)



And Parkview made this one housing a shop selling christmas gifts.  Tiled with real gingerbread.



Christmas Parties.  This is me and my colleague Emma at the office christmas party.   Our department had a nice but low-key party held upstairs in a pub in Wan Chai.   Unfortunately the festive mood was  marred by the sacking earlier the same day of one of our senior traders who I had worked with for several years and was liked and respected by many of us.
