We are now officially Ball junkies!
This was the inaugural German Ball in the newly renovated Hotel Kempinski Jakarta.The ballroom was magnificent, in the collage there is a photo of the huge chandelier which dominated the room.
We were the only non-German speaking table there and I think we were getting a few tiny frowns for whispering through some (long) speeches. We had a wonderful couple at our table who informed us of the term 'ball junkie', (hi V and O, see you at the BWA ball!).
I think that this was one of the best balls we have been to in ages, the band was great and we danced until the wee hours.We ended up at a doof, doof night club in Kemang and managed to just get home before dawn.
The British Women's Association Ball is on next month, it has a lot to live up to!
Although the ball was so much fun, I do think our friends made all the difference. We always have fun with them whether we are at a beach hut with frizzy hair, covered in sand and bug spray or all gussied up at a ball!
Our German friends are definitely getting an Australian accent and outlook!
There was a photographer following us at the club snapping innumerable photos...goodness knows what they will be like, it was after 2am and the ball started at 6pm.......
