New to CC socials: For anyone new to the socials, it's a weekly online meetup where CC members come together to connect with each other and have a bit of positivity along the way. It's not specifically Airbnb focused and anyone new is very welcome.

Hello All,

@Lizzie @Katie @Cathie19 @Clara116 @Debra300 @Lawrene0 @Ann72 @Robin4 @Marissa107 @Alexandra316 @Till-and-Jutta0 @Paul1255 @Bez8 @Till-and-Jutta0 @Marissa107 @Debra300

What a lovely way to start my day...to speak to all you lovely folks spread across the globe and across several time zones. ABB is truly a global platform and the forum participants reflected this.

I must admit that I was a bit unsure as to how my first experience would be, being the only 'guest' on this forum. But, I am so glad I participated. The depth and variety of topics discussed were incomparable. What all did we speak about? Well, let me see how much I can recollect..from lamenting a silent Broadway to travelling to Amsterdam with canines, from veggie patches to feline pets, haggis to fish eggs, HP sauce to Sir Kensington ketchup from Debra's take on delicacies to Robin's take on eating offals, from birthday cheer to lockdown woes...this was a true potpourri of eclectic topics served with loads of good cheer and smiles all around. 

Thanks all for having me. Stay safe and keep spreading the cheer in your corner of the world.

Cheers,

Jason

Birthday Cake~!

donkatsu (pork cutlet) lunch box

Photos are from our office Birthday Party last week 😄 

Since we can't eat out or share food.... our team got lunch boxes delivered and we ate together at a safe distance from one another in the large meeting room. We used hands to blow (fan) the candles out 🤣 

Hopefully the next meetup will be in the PM  Korean time so that I can have a beer while chatting with all you lovely people 😊

[Clara116]

loved seeing you @Jessica-and-Henry0  and thanks for posting the pics.....yummy cake, yes, Happy Birthday to Cathie and me. That meal looks taste indeed.

You guys made such a difference in my world - just before the call I was so puny and had gotten an unexpected negative phone call interruption in my life and you guys flipped the script completely for me. Thanks everyone! 

[Cathie19]

I agree @Jessica-and-Henry0, that food looks terrific!  😍

[Christine615]

[Bez8]

I had a great time meeting all of you. It was a blast and I actually learnt a lot about different sauces. I thank all of you for that 

[Cathie19]

All adds to the hosting and guesting skills @Bez8!

Today at noon our sky suddenly turned yellow, caused by dust arriving from the Sahara desert, 3,000 km far:

This is how it looked from our dining place (same place as we used for our Zoom session on Thursday):

This happens only once a year. Our guest from Asia was deeply impressed.
