Christmas Eve. Still not Christmas eve back home, this holiday is getting surreal now..

I spent the day today scurrying around the city changing my flights from Bangkok to Phuket. I met up with Sean and Jef in the city and we stopped in some shops, including MagNation, which has every magazine from everywhere.. and I mean EVERY!

We stopped at this bar which was plopped down in a small city square hidden between buildings and thin alleys. The furniture was made out of wooden skids used in warehouses. Original and definitely a hip spot.

That evening the boys went out for a Christmas Eve Dinner at an Italian restaurant--the owner of which caught us by offering three free bottles of wine and a table full of garlic bread to rope us in. The food was great.. the company was better; it was an excellent way to spend the holidays with the friends we have met in Melbourne and a great way to say farewell to Sean, who leaves at 9am Christmas morning.
