TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) is ushering in its first Christmas at its new home after relocating to Taipei’s Neihu District in May.

Golden, sparkling reindeers festoon the outdoor area of the AIT campus, while Christmas trees and ornaments inside the buildings are full of seasonal cheer. The holiday decor suggests a merry Xmas at the de-facto U.S. embassy in Taiwan, in the absence of official diplomatic relations.

AIT Spokesperson Amanda Mansour told CNA that Christmas is the time of year when Americans make their houses “homely.” She said staff members are in the holiday spirit, excited about spending the first festival at the new facility.    [FULL  STORY]
