Never having eaten beef or stuffed turkey before, Gaurav Gyanwali was a little anxious about what the staples of a traditional Kiwi Christmas dinner would be like. In the spirit of adventure, the young Nepalese man headed into the annual Dunedin Community Christmas Dinner at the Dunedin Town Hall yesterday, saying he was looking forward to giving it a go. "We saw that there was a dinner here and we thought it would be a good chance to see and meet new people." Community dinner co-ordinator Anne Hardy said the Nepalese family were among about 500 people at this year’s dinner. Mrs Hardy said it was the sixth dinner run by the Acts of Kindness Charitable Trust at the Dunedin Town Hall.
