Ahhh, the Chinese New Year has arrived, the Year of the Cock no less. Last night was filled with Lion Dancers and firecrackers. It sounded a little like Bush had sent in the mighty forces of the US Marines to inavde Chinatown with all of the pops and explosions running through the night. Don't pick Chinese New Year's Eve to try and get to bed early so you can wake early in the morning. It just isn't going to happen. From 10:00 to 12:00 there was the banging of gongs and drums on our street, non-stop. Then as the clock struck midnight, the firecrackers started. The ground was covered in drifts of red paper where last week there had similar drifts of white snow.
So sit back, have a Tsing Tao and this time around, stick to your resolutions!
