Happy new year!
Thu, Feb. 7th, 2008 10:51 amHappy new year! Yay! Year of the Rat!
Amazingly, I actually got some hong bao money, and I am trying to decide if I should be good and save it, or spend it on books and manga and DVDs!
On the other hand, I'm a little homesick -- I usually use my vacation time to go home for New Year, but not this year. I miss the noise and the crowds of people and the insane bustle, normally not things I like, but it doesn't quite feel right without them. Apparently for new year's eve dinner (nien ye fan), my parents and my uncle's family went out for steak! My mom said my dad saw the new restaurant and wanted to try something new. At least I got Chinese food last night, courtesy of an ahyi's dinner invitation.
So to celebrate, picture spam! First rat pictures, because it is the Year of the Rat ^_^.

And despite being the wrong holiday, here's some pictures from Christmas.

And just a few pictures from January's trip to the Ferry Building with my dad.

And here are some old pictures of New Year in Taiwan.
