So for Christmas Doug and I went to the mall that was attached to the Hotel in Kuala Lumpur and separated and then got back together. we had so much fun buying each other gag gifts and then real gifts. Only things that we could fit into our suitcases that were already really full. We had a great time laughing and hanging out together. Doug even got us a small metal Christmas tree and stockings...it made us feel like we were at home. We missed family and friends but we had each other so everything was going to be alright. How can it not be when you look this happy.
So for Christmas dinner Doug and I had made reservations to the Smokehouse restaurant that I had found on line before we had left China. Honestly we were not sure what to expect since...well let's just say the Taxi drivers had no idea where it was and had to call one of his friends to get directions. Well when we got there I think we were the second people there but this place was like a home that had been turned in to a Restaurant. Like the one we took Mom and Dad to in Colorado Springs to celebrate my graduation. Anyway on the tables were these hats and packages of stuff almost like it was New Years.
You could chose from numerous things off the menu so Doug got the set Menu with the Roast Sirloin and I got the Turkey Christmas dinner. We had about 5 courses and the food was so good. We drank wine and eggnog and just enjoyed the moment.
Yes we were party animals!!!!
I think I was so happy with the food because I had been afraid that it was going to be a horrible restaurant. AND IT WAS CHEAP TOO!!We had a blast eating dinner...we then went back to the hotel and spent sometime of Skype talking to family members...we didn't go to bed until really late but it was just a wonderful Christmas.
