So, once again a gesellshaftliches Event in Shanghai, which we really wanted out. I dance at a ball with? Yes, well that was then somehow irrelevant and we also have 2x practiced before, but this later. About Alexandra's roommate, we went a week before the Ball to the (by us) coveted cards and then read the dress code "Black Tie" and the slogan "Black and White".
Well, tuxedo I had even brought from Germany, had only a little change. The dress I thought was more difficult to find, but the fabric market gave us a wealth of images, "I can copy", so that the dress was tailored perfectly within a week. The Stofmarkt is already a subject in itself, one would like to try again with every new let a new suit or jacket or shirt sew. Is indeed cheaper than in Germany in the store, and so far I've always been lucky. Well, dress was not a problem, then the shoes of the lady but rather, size 40 is almost impossible in China to get, then they had to spend the night in 39.
After we were piloted for the first time by half the Hyatt (people holding the signs seem to be cheaper than signs), we finally arrived at the correct input and received a welcome drink.
went after the obligatory entry on the score board, the opening and the opening of the hall doors are calm and relaxed (as unusual for China) in the ballroom.
After the opening dance (which we unfortunately did not dance), it immediately went wrong with party music, the band played everything from Abba to hit.
The buffet was great, but the starters could be done amicably, they ranged from antipasti to oysters caviar. For the main course there was a lot of lamb or fish and pasta. An absolute highlight was the dessert buffet with an ice bar (in both senses), fresh waffles, pancakes, just what the heart desired.
was in between dancing again, and the good food there were also excellent wines.
were interesting, of course, the other person to watch, as was it of foxes on the shoulder to Chinese double-D all.
In the draw, when it was to include a business class trip to Europe LH, we were unfortunately not among the lucky ones.
All in all a successful evening, which cries out for a repeat next year!
