What became of the Reindeer's?

When I was a little boy I was always told that Santa had reindeer's to pull his sleigh with the astronomical amount of presents on it. I don't know what they tell the kid's here in Hong Kong, or in fact I thought to know, until I saw this arrangement on a square in Kennedy town on Hong Kong Island!To me these creatures look more like horses, but what do I know about the Chinese Santa? One thing is for sure; Christmas is also celebrated here, but not in that silly and maniac way it has become normal in Europe, where the shops starts to decorate in October, and continue to stress people with Christmas carols and aim them to buy as much as possible all the way up til the 24th.

Mum's Hong Kong Diary # 4.

A quiet day on Monday 9th.

Tuesday the 10th Nov.
We need to pick up our new glasses in Mong kok, that we ordered last Thursday, mine are broken and when we saw the modern styles that twist and bend without breaking we decided to go ahead and buy them. The Market is worth a visit also Ricky purchased some nice Rugby shirts . I then ordered a spare pair of glasses that means another visit so we pick them up later in Mong Kok.

Wednesday 11th.
Today a visit to the Nunnery at Diamond Hill. Bus from Sai Kung to Choi Hung, then the train to Diamond Hill, then we looked for the sign for to the Nunnery. After the visit -that is interesting- we bought a souvenier to take home. We had a coffee and toastie and then walked round the lovely gardens and back to the train and the bus to Sai Kung.Thursday the 12th.
Tonight I am going to the "Sauce" Restaurant in Saikung to meet up with Catriona and Yvonne for the book club. I phoned Yvonne to chum her on the bus as the bus arrived so did Catriona so it worked out well for us. Everyone at the book club were so very nice and friendly,Ricky and Jørgen went for a meal in the Thai Restaurant. It started to rain so a Taxi back to Tai Wan village.
