...enjoying local interpretations of the Christmas sights and sounds (Although I do admit this unique display of blinking blue lights gave me a headache each time I passed it in the lobby).

...Finnish celebrations with gingerbread cookies, Glögg and elf hats.

 
...treking out in the cold to gorge on "sliders" and sweet potato fries.

.... hanging out with friends over Vietnamese bubble drinks (with "bubbles" stuck in teeth for add'l entertainment).
