Goodbye Singapore & Merry Christmas!







We got back to Belgium on Friday after a long journey from Bangkok via Frankfurt, from 29ºC to 4ºC in 15 hours... Attached some atmosphere pictures from Singapore, where Christmas decorations have started appearing in October already (!). The only thing missing is snow and cold temperatures, as there is sharp contrast (for us) between the European-style decorations and the tropical heat (30ºC as always) and exotic plants. To bring the Christmas atmosphere to Bangkok (where Christmas is commercially celebrated), we hosted a Glühwein-evening at our place last week. The warm mulled wine was a strange concept to our Thai friends but it did not take long convincing them... Tom has now moved permanently to Bangkok, so the above pictures are also a bit of a goodbye to Singapore where the last half year or so was spent. We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our friends and family a very Merry Christmas!!!
