the whole city is rumbling and crackling right now. from one window alone, i can see at least twelve places where fireworks are going up. and i'm in the heart of a city of over six million. it's pretty awesome. i bet this goes on all night.

happy year of the pig:) i wish you could all be here to see this;)

culture, china

Happy New Year! Bethany and I went out for "Chinese" last night... You'll never believe what they had playing on the TV in the restaraunt -- CCTV 9!

Good times.

Happy Chinese New Year! And ... uh, gung hei fat choi! That's probably totally wrong and in some weird dialect, but whatever.

Did you eat any sweet & sour pork yet? :-)

I just read some article in the BBC News about this -- it's the year of the Golden Pig, right? I would be pretty stoked about golden pigs too. ;) Happy New Year!

Apparently this is a big problem in Indonesia, where the Muslim community and the Chinese community are having issues over the Year of the Pig... but I don't know anything else about it.

Happy New Year - in a way we can share it, through your stories!
