Here too we don't have servants, but even for a gathering of 10 we use china. Its just plain awful to eat on paper plates.And never in my life will I be doing that heheheh<BR/><BR/>Lemme check your post.

Its weird people do this for small gatherings - I've seen it, but for two it is ridiculous!ggophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13152025930955161430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500820405748812352.post-24109438593688294572009-04-02T04:23:00.000+01:002009-04-02T04:23:00.000+01:00Hi,Aquarius-LOL...that was funny. But, on the other hand, you know, this is common even in Dubai..reason? Hired servants are not cheap, so not many can afford them. Both husband-wife are working,so,they don't feel like washing plates and glasses at the end of a hard day/during a weekend which is a time to relax. So, what better way out of it than paper plates and cups? In fact,the happy part is that the stuff is not plastic!:)<BR/><BR/>(I wonder if you'll read ur post after 3 years and find yourself using paper plates,too??hehe!!Keep me posted)<BR/><BR/>BTW,u're mentioned in my new post.AmitLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315443741450983388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500820405748812352.post-70993337009525693232009-04-02T03:12:00.000+01:002009-04-02T03:12:00.000+01:00heh, that sure was strange. Then again, were you the only couple invited? Maybe they were newly settling in and didn't stock up on China yet?<BR/><BR/>Nice space :) <BR/><BR/>Radskowthashttp://kowthas.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
