I am always amazed with Christmas time in Southeast Asia. Decorations rival decorations anywhere in the US. However, often they look American too. Santa Claus,, Christmas trees, all of it. Taken from America with little to no local interpretation. There are even representations of snow and “White Christmas” will ring through mall sound systems. Indonesians are, of course, fascinated with the idea of snow and the thought that there are places in the US (like Florida) where it never snows confuses them.
