The Year of the Snake

Happy Chinese New Year!  It's the year of the snake and to herald the arrival of the new year, there have been a lot of orange trees, chrysanthemums and peonies popping up all over town.  Like this:


All of Hong Kong is on public holiday for Monday through Wednesday, February 11, 12 and 13, which means a five-day long weekend (!!).  Yes, that is pretty awesome.  As a result many people leave town because taking just two days off of work gives you an 8-day vacation.  Bali, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Japan and India are all very popular destinations.

I will be heading to Thailand to visit my sister.  Weather there is currently in the high 90s.  Woot woot!  Ubiquitous posts about massage and food coming right up.
