本地人 （locals）
we've been here a while, and it's starting to show. remember that sausage hanging outside that i posted a while back? well, guess what?
we have some hanging outside of our window.
the family that sells us vegetables gave us some as a gift when i went to see them the other day. the sausage still needed to dry some, so it's been hanging out of our window the last few days.
in the province we live in, locals like to walk around in their pajamas outside. their pajamas are generally a thick matching quilted set, that look quite warm, yet still quite tacky. well, guess what?
Aaron and I got some pajamas the other day. ours weren't quilted and really thick like the locals, they were just fleece awesomeness. Unfortunately, the size that aaron bought was too short and too tight in certain areas (let's just say he very likely could've been arrested if he ever went out in them). we bought these pajamas to wear to a new years party...and when one of our Chinese friends came to spend the night with us.....and later this week when we fly to see Josh and Danielle for a night on our way to Thailand.....and to wear to the airport to pick up our friend Graham when he comes to visit in February. There were just so many good times to be had in those pajamas. But, alas, Aaron had already bought the largest size ( XXL) and there's no going up from there.
so we returned them.....but not before we had a photo shoot (it's the model in us, i guess...)

Christmas.....finally
It's been so long since Christmas. I'm a slacker. At this point, I've lost the desire to write about it. So hopefully the pictures will show how much fun we had at Christmas. So here they are. Not many words to share, just pictures and smiles....and thankfully, i didn't wake up to a truck driver like I did last christmas.

Eye of the Tiger
Many of you know, though some may not, my favorite pose for pictures is called "the Eye of the Tiger."
No, it was not inspired by Zoolander's Le Tigre, because the Eye of the Tiger existed long before Derek came on the scene. For those who are unfamiliar, here are a few samples of the Eye of the Tiger. (WARNING - if this is your first time, don't look directly into the Eye...)
Well, this Christmas, my lovely wife gave me a desk calendar called "Awkward Family Photos" with 365 delightfully awkward Olan Mills-type photos. Yesterday, her Christmas gift paid dividends in full, introducing me to a new take on an old favorite...

| Me and the Eye of the Tiger did India. |

| Yes, this is my wedding day. My groomsmen and I kept the Tiger at bay. |
