How Christmas is Celebrated On The Pacific Rim.

Quote[/b] ]Dogs, bats, Kentucky Fried Chicken and barramundi will grace dinner tables across the Asia Pacific this Christmas, a festival celebrated with lots of cheer, and very little turkey, in this mainly non-Christian region.

Christmas Day is seen as a foreign, Western festival in many countries in Asia but that doesn't stop millions of people from cooking up banquets of local food unheard of in the West.

I hadn't realised that the eating of turkey was a Christian activity ! The celebrations held at Christmas time are supposedly to remember the birth of Jesus and the people do,after the British and #American missionaries introduced Christianity into the many island communities of the Pacific.

What the people of many Asian countries appreciate about Christmas is all the wealth that has been created for them by using their cheap labour to mass produce everything for our supermarkets and stores to sell.

They used to ride bikes, now they drive Toyota's

Yea....intelligence and industriousness and America's largesse after WWII had nothing at all to do with it.
