There was nothing in the shops or on the streets, it was very odd. Then all of a sudden it was in every shop window virtually overnight a couple of days before Christmas. We were invited by Phenix @ I UP school to a western style steak dinner on the Sat and Sun before Christmas and in return he asked us to have a chat with the children about our experiences of Christmas and also to teach them how to eat with a knife and fork. I can tell you it was really good fun! 30 kids on 2 different days all trying to hold a knife and fork and singing jingle bells at the top of their voices...
On the only day we had off (Christmas day) I was asked to go into my school No 4 Middle school as the children had prepared a few songs and a small play for us. They loved it and sang their little hearts out.
I was also given a few presents and lots of hugs...
