Chinese New Year!

CNY eve was on Feb 6. Maria and her family took the neighbors and I out to eat a big dinner at a restraunt they reserved. We ate fish, crab, lamb, chicken, beef, and plenty of vegetables. It was really a great meal, lots of food and I think we ate almost all of it too really. So we were all feeling fat and full and happy so we walked on home.

At 12 midnight Ben came down and we set off firecrackers, I took a video of it, pretty fun. Much louder in person than in the video. Ben said that back in the day, everyone on the street would come out at 12 and set off the firecrackers, it must have been something special to see, just one was exciting!

So everyone treated me well on CNY, very fun and memorable!
