Happy New Year
From midnight tonight it will be the year of the pig, so we went to a Chinese bookshop and bought a new year pig to hang in the lounge room.
It is the tradition that you should stay up all night tonight to see the sun rise. I'm not sure if I will make that, though it is a Saturday night for a change.
This year people in Taiwan are getting about 9 days holiday, though the New Year period lasts about 2 weeks and finishes with the Lantern Festival. One thing I miss about Chinese New Year in Taiwan is the sound of fire crackers. It's just not the same when it's so quiet.
