Christmas in Shekou, China

The View today off our deck

The Ship and a blue animated light very tall tree.
Notice the title Starry Christmas



They have started to celebrate Christmas in China. I am told that they did not do this five years ago. I think they are somewhat mixed up on the meaning of Christmas. The two Santas that appear in our little Seaworld area are both drinking beer! The large one on the building is a animation that shows a reindeer with a magic lamp and a genie Santa chugging a large mug of Beer. The plastic one is for tourist to take pictures in front of. It is like getting your picture taken standing in front of any great monument.

Tim, very cool to include the video in your blog. Yes, the messages can get very mixed up in Asian countries on Christmas, Santa and all of that. It is all just marketing and I am sure it must have been beer companies who paid to put up the advertisements. Kind of funny.
You need to get over to Kowloon and see Hong Kong at night when they have all the Christmas lights up, it can be very cool.
