Today is the new years eve in Chinese tradition. We had a pretty quiet day as the family were up early going to traditional hometown temples. Which meant sleeping was done this afternoon.
Yvonne and I then went to the city to do some last minute errands and shopping. I bought some fake eyelashes! Very practical errand.
Tonight we had a huge family dinner which was very tasty. There was a ricewine soup (very alcaholic), mud crab claws, steamed chicken, pork & mushroom soup, pork & green onions, sweet & sour whole fish, and a crab stirfry with green snap beans.
Fireworks can be seen and heard from the surrounding streets. There is a lot of people letting them off in the neighbourhood, some can be heard every minute. This photo was taken by Sean on the roof of the house we are staying at.
I hope to get back up to the roof later tonight, but it is VERY cold up there ... Maybe it will be going off at midnight. When I went up before, I did not realise that my camera did not have the memory card in it, so only got 30 mg of recording.
