ANZAK BALL 07

Last week we had the annual ANZAK Ball here in Kuwait. its basically a night for all the Aussies and Kiwis to get together and have a few drinks bit of a dance and to pretend that we are not in Kuwait. Unfortunately our regular party goers Ted and Chris were off to Jordan and Mark and Mads dumped us for another party that night and all the others from our table last year have left the desert. So Loz and I managed to round up some new friends to enjoy the night with. Thankfully these days that's not to hard to do. We convinced some American Friends Nick and Jeremy to tag along as well as some Canadian friends Sam and Shawn. But then Jason the Kiwi piped up and was looking for a seat, so along with Americans Chris and Berdine we quickly filled up the table but only after we recruited Liana and her husband Nate as well as their friend Elizabeth. So all in all we had a good group and had plenty of laughs. From having the home made Beer explode under the table to Laurel's new sash accessories we managed to get a giggle in here and there. I was actually rather well behaved this year and did not drink too much., ( I think my night at Dala and Jason's put me off drinking for awhile) but I did have a fab night danced the night away with Loz and Regan and the 300 odd others that put their dancing shoes on for the biggest night in Kuwait!

Nick was just messing with his new camera and took a picture of me getting my hair done, although I think it was the best picture of me taken all night :)

Oh My GOD! Nick in a suit! His mother won't believe it.

The gang on Table 15!


The Lads! Jason, Chris, Shawn, Nick and Jeremy

Shawn Stunned over how fantastic my beer is!

Chris and Loz singing a great duet with their tie/microphone. Was a shame I couldn't hear them over the band I am sure it was a lovely Harmony!

A game of Chinese Whispers gets going.....

I don't know what Nick did but Jeremy certainly isn't impressed that he missed out on a kiss from Loz!
