In the wee hours of the morning the electricity keep turning off--i kept waking up because the heat was stifling. I think the entire neighborhood stayed up all night talking and celebrating the new year--i could hear laughter the whole night. The beauty shop across from my bedroom window had business until 1 am.
Today, it is beautifully serene--just a few motorbikes driving by now and then, the sound of families laughing together. A truck full of dragon dancers playing their drums and cymbols interrupted the quiet briefly. Other than that, the absence of horns blowing and the deafening sound of the motor on the tuk-tuk garbage trucks has been heaven.
We exchanged wishes for the new year and lucky money red envelopes today. There were lots of smiles today from everyone!
The flags are all out on my street again (see the National Day photo from a previous post).
This year is Year of the Pig. It is actually the Year of the Golden Pig, which happens only once every 60 years. enjoy all the pig posts.
