what can i say about the CNY... hmm.
1. there is a lot of red lanterns, red ribbons, red firecrackers, red... everything. everywhere!
2. a lot of rabbit decor as well, since it IS the year of the rabbit.
3. the fireworks were out. of. control for about 3 days. lack of sleep and loss of hearing. they were lighting them off at 7am. they were lighting them off at 7pm. and 1am. and 11am. basically 24 hours a day.
4. i got a 3 week paid vacation! you can't complain about that.
i was able to go to yuyuan, one of my favorite shanghai spots, 2 times this week to see all the decorations.
they were a little over the top, but fun!
here are some pics :) enjoy!
the firework aftermath in front of my apartment. no joke, on sunday night, i felt like i was in a war zone!
eating tang hu lu! it's fruit with this hard sugar coating over it. it's AMAZING!
(oh, and sporting the lens-less glasses phenomenon that is taking over China!) it's so fun.
all the crazy blow-ups in the water that i assume tell the story of the CNY
yuyuan all lit up and a big rabbit :)
more weird blow ups :)
