Christmas on Phu Quoc Island

Katie and I spent this years Christmas on the beautiful island of Phu Quoc. Having arrived after a three day trip through the Mekong Delta, we spent our days relaxing on the beach and motor biking around the island. We soon realized that the only reason for the Christmas decorations was for the foreigners. Vietnam does not celebrate Christmas, but we were able to find a nice restaurant owned by a Malaysian women and German man. They had a Christmas Eve dinner scheduled that was small and cozy. We were glad to find this place because our other option was at a large resort that provided a Christmas party that sounded like a mixture between a booze cruise and a high school talent show. Our Christmas Eve dinner turned out to be very enjoyable. We ended the night with champagne on the beach while we exchanged Christmas gifts.
