Everyone was mid conversation, and I didn’t want to interrupt, so you’ll have to settle for this rather candid photo. Apart from Rudy, who appears to be shouting abuse at me. I really don’t remember!

Why funky? Look, no glass!

Ah, the reason for my patchy memory…baijiu. A 40-60% favourite of the Chinese, and has a crazy ability to totally remove sections of your memory.

Back to Rudy’s apartment for…more drinking! Here B takes a lesson from the experts of Champagne (the French) on how to correctly open a bottle.

    Seems a fancy night 🙂 But I’d like to brief you on the “something” or “some stuff” you’ve mentioned so many times above. (Hopefully I’ve got them right.) In spacial sequence,they are vermicelli, broccoli, some kind of meat, and hawthorn jelly. Satisfied?
    Oh, something more to add, the characters on the cake read: Merry Christmas!
