Weekend in Mexico?

What better way to spend yours Saturday than at a Mexican party? Our friend René, who just moved his whole family to Xiamen, was having a birthday party for his youngest who was turning five. Excellent, Tina picks out the gift that we will bring - sangria....

They went all out for this party, and the kids had a great time.

Edlin made a pinata for the party.

René and myself with the girls that work at the Crowne Plaza.

Mmmmm, barbecue....

Music and silly string, now it's a party.

Tina's sangria was a hit, even with the Chinese girls who at first didn't like it. Rene, or as we simply call him 'The Mexican' did up a great barbecue of chicken and steak. There was great music and dancing, it was a lot of fun. There were times that you would forget that you were in China, as we realized that we had changed from a world were 90% of the people speak Chinese to where 90% were talking in Spanish.

Next weekend we are going to take the Mexican and his family to the shrimp place that Mark and Siew showed us last weekend......
