It's the year of the cow, and the word for cow kind of sounds like the English word "new"...so "Happy Niu Year!"
It's New Year's Eve here (based on the Lunar Calendar), and since the sun went down a few hours ago it's sounded like we're in a battle zone with all the fireworks going off! Every now and then it even sounds like they're being shot of from inside our living room. But it's definitely exciting! :)
When we walked outside to go eat, that gun smoke powdery smell filled the air. And where did we go to eat? All the shops have been closed on our street, and all the street vendors have gone home...all but one...and we've eaten there 3 times w/in the past 48 hours, I think.
Less than 24 hours til vaca!
It was such a beautiful day!

We bought animal hats to keep our heads warm!

The architecture of the buildings is SO unique!
