About Christmas in 3 continents<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

One thing is certain: this case happens often to nomads flying worldwide on airways home from Shanghai \/ China (PRC) or back again to the metropolitan city to land on Pudong\u2019s airport PVG.<\/p>\n

Already travelled to 175+ cities worldwide, tourists from Amsterdam-Schiphol, Dubai or Shanghai may ask you in then on the Bund during these busy days:
\n\u201eHow do Chinese people \u2013 some of them live overseas \u2013 do celebrate their Christmas feast \/ party?\u201d<\/p>\n

Firstly, then you have to think deeply, please!<\/p>\n

How to explain the 1+X question(s)? These will never be easy to answer correctly\u2026<\/p>\n

Generally spoken you have to admit: the Christmas feast has never officially existed before in PRC.<\/p>\n

But how could it come now into fashion there, too?<\/p>\n

What makes Christmas a new fashion or trend?<\/p>\n

If we regard these (shopping) days only as a fashionable event, we might see it only with the eyes of a marketing director, whose department who tend to trigger the bonuses paid at yearend.<\/p>\n

So, hoping to attract more than 200.000+ and more Germans living in metropolitan cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen or Hong Kong SAR, the new consumption worlds go really crazy: buying luxury cars, etc.<\/p>\n

This year however, the similar holiday season in the former traditional China follows quickly the German feasts \u201cWeihnachten\u201d and \u201cSylvester\u201d; as a surprise, it is also quite close to the traditions in Africa as well.<\/p>\n

Why Africa?<\/p>\n

Networking friends there say: We sing Christmas carols and dramatize place in African churches. Furthermore, many feasts and family reunions are held, similar to new Chinese citizens living and working in an almost forgotten continent: Africa, we go, top!
\nOpposite to the European thoughts, Chinese TV stations focus on the cultural events such as frequently visited churches, filled with more religious believers than these may offer space to – queuing up, without public viewing.<\/p>\n

Yoga Thoughts…<\/p>\n

The Christians are told by their priests how they could go on the healthy good old traditional ways. They are given fresh ideas following a visionary path for the coming years. Another yoga trip with drum music… <\/p>\n

Finally many festivals are held on the December 31, celebrating gospel music in cities like Nairobi (NBO) \/ located in Kenya.<\/p>\n

There, one week later everybody goes back happy to work with a fresh and creative mentality to overcome the global crises telling: Happy New Year\u2026<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year<\/p>\n
