An early christmas party.....
Well first of all i take my words back about the French food, the French people work a hell lot in making their food live up to its reputation.
I had an early christmas lunch in office yesterday and belive it or not it lasted for a good five n a half hours. All that happened all throughout the afternoon/evening was that we sat down on table yapping away to glory with exotic french dishes being served one by one. It was pretty funny because I was trying to make a lot of sense with my broken French and my colleagues were try to make me understand their broken English. Just waitin for the day when will be able to speak fluent French.
Tried wine and champagne for the first time yesterday. Frankly speaking I was dissappionted with both red n white wine, champagne was the only thing i could get a little close to liking. I know lots of my friends will hate me for saying anything against french wine, but well its just a personal opinion. The food was amazing just that my appetite is too bad from the French standards, so all I could do is taste a little bit of everything. fortunately the people around me were appreciating my desire to taste everything so it saved me the embarrasment of eating only the small amount I could.
We had a game of "Tambola" in the end. Its a pretty funny thing that since its a game based on luck my office people chose to leave absolutely everything on luck. They skipped the efort of reading out numbers and striking them off in small cards and giving prizes one by one, all they did was kept all the chits with the employees names on them in a bag and picked out around 10 chits and these were the winners. So it was actually a lottery in which people won things like a DVD player, music systems, champagne, etc. I'm sure even if my name would have been picked they would have kept the chit back since no one in my office is very comfortable pronouncing my name.
Trying to plan a trip to Italy this christmas, not very sure if its gonna workout. Suggestions invited for low budget holiday planning......
