Imagination has to come into play when living in a Muslim country at Christmas time. What does one do when a tree isn't available? Well, one simply makes a non tree Christmas tree! Hence the above arrangement is our version for this coming season. Don't laugh, it's better than nothing.
Despite me saying that there were no trees available, the other day I went into an Ace Hardware shop in Semarang, the town about a two and a half hour drive from here, and lo and behold, saw some of the most beautiful trees and decorations I've ever seen for sale. Quite spectacular and quite a price - a mere Rp23,000,000 (yes million!). That translates to about ZAR23,000 or about $2000. Needless to say, I wasn't tempted to put them on my shopping list but they really were quite spectacular and such an unexpected sight here.
