Our first Christmas at the shop proved to be loads of fun.  We attempted (pretty successfully!) to roast a turkey – bearing in mind that there are no ovens in Laos and we had to use a large pot over a fire, we reckon we did an awesome job!  The turkey drew the crowds and soon people walking around town were stopping by just to have a look at the crazy kiwis cooking the turkey.  We had Christmas lunch with our extended Lao family – some foreigners, our staff and a couple of friends.  A fun day!  Our photos are here.
