We avoided the millions of travelers during the holiday, but we still had a few adventures of our own.
We went bowling with friends, lit off fireworks, took Miss A to a way cool play place, lit off fireworks, tried to send off some floating lanterns from the top of our building, and lit off fireworks.
We went all out for the last day of New Year celebrations.
 |
| The entrance to a neat "Thai" restaurant that was really mostly food from Southeast Asia. |
 |
| The Valentine Special started off with these lovely shrimp--legs and heads included! Definitely the first (and hopefully last) time I try to eat something with it's head still attached. |
 |
| Some of the food was pretty good, like the vegetables in the front. The soup toward the back, on the other hand, tasted like a latrine. mmm. |
 |
| Miss A could tell this was a fish since it still had its eyes and everything. When this was brought out, they poured sauce on top and lit a fire underneath. Only Mister was brave enough to try it. Even at a nicer restaurant like this the fish is most likely caught from the lovely (green/polluted) Yangtze River. |
 |
| Fun markets lined streets and shopping areas. We saw traditional cut paper, toy animals, beautiful dolls, and so much more. This woman was sitting at her booth making glass beads. |
 |
| We ended our day with a "Year of the Rabbit" treat for Miss A. |
