Xin Nian Kuai Le!

Happy New Year! It's kind of cool that we get to do the new year thing twice. I can tell you that THIS new year, Chinese New Year is a lot bigger deal. The firecrackers have been rumbling for weeks, and today it was almost non-stop. As you can imagine, ten minutes ago it was deafening. I'll post more about the night's festivities tomorrow, but wanted to be the first to say Xin Nian Kuai Le...Happy New Year!
