Welcome to February! Here in China, February means Chinese New Year, a huge event in China where most people have several days to up to a month off work. This year is the Year of the Dog. Most businesses will close for several days, and young people living in the cities will head home to visit their parents in more rural locations. Other traditions include hanging red and gold decorations (particularly red Chinese lanterns), and exchanging hong bao, red envelopes stuffed with crisp money. For expats like us, we either stay in China and enjoy the empty cities, or we use our extended vacation time to visit other parts of Asia. My school is closed for two weeks, and my family is headed for our annual trek to Bali, Indonesia. This will be our fourth visit to beautiful Bali!![]( "A very long list of new releases this week!")
