Chinese New Year is not a one day event here. Everyone is out of school and off work at least a week, sometimes two. Today we went to a dragon dance with some friends from the branch. There were four dragons that went up and down the street. The kids were able to get right up to them so they loved it.
The metro ride was more entertaining to me. The doors open and you have seconds to get on or off before a limb is removed by the slamming doors. At one stop Rich had to shove Mia out the door so she didn't get smashed but he and his leg weren't so lucky. We had to pry the doors open so he could pull it out.
The peddlers were the other entertainment. These two girls just stood in front of us and played their harmonica until we ponied up some cash. People here tend to be very persistent.
Tomorrows exciting agenda is laundry and IKEA. Yeah, for IKEA, not laundry.
Hugs,
Stacie

Oh my! What great experiences you must be having. We sure miss you. Daidy misses her Mia like crazy. She wrote her a letter a few weeks ago (I forgot to mail it but don't tell her) It was so cute. She said "I hope you can come back and visit us sometime. I hope you like the Pandas there" haha. You sure are missed. Lova ya OX
