Day 1: NYE
EN
My last holiday season was
packed of joy and indulges as I’ve mentioned in posts before and this all
started with the dearest that came out of
I haven’t seen them for 1,5
year so I was happy to see them again.
We picked them up at 30th
December at the arrivals of the airport which was still in lovely festive
deco.
On 31st December
we celebrated NYE together at my aunts flat and that was rare to celebrate
NYE with so many family members in the same spot! And for my Hongkongese
family it was even rarer for them to see firework from a close distance since
it’s forbidden to fire up your own fireworks in
My aunt is an amazing cook
and she cooked amazing NYE home meals for us. I don’t know about you but
homemade food is just the best. Especially among the dearest and the nearest.
Well maybe not the nearest in technical speak since they live on exact
This NYE was the best.

Toen mijn allerliefste
familie uit Hong Kong geland waren in Nederland waren mijn feestdagen
compleet. Ik heb ze niet meer gezien voor 1,5 jaar, dus ik was natuurlijk heel blij om
ze weer te zien.
Dus zo wachtte en ontvingen we hen op 30 december bij de aankomsthal van de luchthaven Schiphol die nog
volop in feestelijke versiersels hingen.
Op 31 december vierden we
NYE samen bij mijn tantes flat en dat was zeldzaam om NYE te vieren met
zoveel familieleden op dezelfde plek! En voor mijn Hongkongse familie was het
nog zeldzamer voor hen om vuurwerk te zien van dichtbij, sinds het verboden
is om eigen vuurwerk af te steken in Hong Kong.
Mijn tante is een geweldige
kokkin en heeft geweldige maaltijden voor ons klaargemaakt. Zelfgemaakte en
familie gerechten zijn gewoon de beste. En het eten smaakte nog beter met de
naasten dichtbij jou. Ook al wonen zij aan de andere kant van de wereld op exact
Dit NYE was de beste.

So nice! How I understand when you say about being them your nearest family, it also happens the same with us, my mom's family which is living more far away (not as many kms as yours though) is very tied. Glad that you got to spend some time this New Year's eve with them!!
