Happy Chinese New Year
















Last night the fireworks display over the Hong Kong harbor were impressive. We walked from our apartment to the harbor which was only about 1/2 mile. Thousands of residents packed the harbor area to see several boats in the bay shoot off 25 minutes of fireworks. They started at 8:00 p.m. The smoke dimmed some of the color, but they were still spectacular. Several tall buildings in the area were decorated with lights. They put them up with cranes. We did not go to the parade across the bay this year, but will try to go next year when we feel more at home. I'll insert a few pictures so you can catch the spirit of the night.

The kids loved seeing the pictures of the fireworks. What's the best way for them to write to you? E-mail, pouch mail or blog?
