Happy New Year... and Merry Christmas again!

Happy New Year to all our family and friends!! Welcome to 2009! Joining together with the staff at our office, we held a little Christmas and New Year celebration together.
From Dec '08


It was complete with a Thai massage and pseudo-American dinner of ribs and burgers thanks to our team leader!! It was such a treat, Thank You Lana!

On our way home, Anders took a little detour to check out the lights dotting the night sky. We stumbled right onto the launching point for these miniature hot air balloon-lanterns.
From Dec '08


We found them to be simple paper sacks with a candle strung below to heat the air, causing it to rise like a hot air balloon. It looked like so much fun, we tried it for ourselves... twice!
From Dec '08


Some others were hanging fireworks from their balloons. Check out our video!

At the stroke of midnight we celebrated with a few fireworks of our own. Christmas and New Year’s celebrated all in one night! This was a truly memorable evening!
