shangholidays


I hope everyone had a great Valentine's day. I sure did. Despite the fact that Shanghai was more quiet than usual due to Chinese New Year (with the exception of fireworks) and most places were closed, Albert and I really enjoyed quality time together. It was also pretty cool staying in town during Chinese New Year to take part of the festivities and to be in touch with the culture and spirit here.

Malls filled with Chinese New Year Decor
Candied fruits for sale

Temples filled with visitors to pray for blessings for the Year of the Snake
Dancers to gather on New Year's Day
A friendly bird by a local shop saying "Ni Hao" and greetings to add to the New Year Cheer
Buds and cacti to welcome a New Spring

Happy New Year, the Year of the Snake!
