It’s that time of year again, and this should be the weirdest one yet. The lead-up’s been strange enough already. Parties and random evenings of drinking all week, most completely unplanned, which have been distracting from the huge amounts of work, thus making things a little harder. All good fun though.
The work Christmas party was last night, which was an interesting affair. Mongolians celebrate Christmas rather differently. Still lots of drinking and food, but many weird games and competitions and dancing. It was an incredibly long night too, dragging on til damn near 4am, so it was rather exhausting. I had some really good conversations with some of the teachers though, so that was great. I’ll try to get some of Dave’s photos from the night soon.
Tonight’s going to be a big party with some great people in the best party house in town, so that should be fun. Tomorrow’s shaping up to be good too, with a champagne breakfast with the rest of the Australian volunteers, then afternoon/evening food and drinking at our place. Really looking forward to that because we’ve got people coming along bringing much food and merriment.
Somewhere in amongst all of this I’ll have to get some work done, because the show goes to air at 6:30 Christmas day (tomorrow!) and there’s some frigging around withthe site that needs to be done because this week’s been insane trying to get stuff done. Boss was away in China and so on…
Hope you all have a great Christmas! Much merriment and festivities and drinking and presents and food and stuff.
Cheers Everybody!
