Happy Chinese New Year everyone! The holiday starts on Monday and lasts a week. The kids are all on winter break, and we get a week off. So I will be heading overseas and hopefully return with lots of pictures and stories.
As I write there are already fireworks going of in Xin Zhuang. This will apparently last all week. I woke up this morning in a ghost town. Most people venture off to the family's home or grandparents' home for the week. Meanwhile the wei guo ren (foreigners) all head out. This year is the Year of the Ox or (Niu). I happen to be an ox myself born in 1985. Oxen are generally hard-working, dependable and of course...stubborn. Feel free to look up your own year.
Along with the new year, I have a new red Betta fish who barely survived the Kindergarten. He seems to have had a rough life, and mostly sits at the bottom of a large vase. He's a little gimpy and tends to fall over the right quite often. We'll see how long he lasts.
Again, Xin Nian Kaui Le everyone!
