The Year of the Ox is upon us. YJ’s Dad and I returned from a brief trip to the front of their xiaoqu to light the obligatory string of fireworks. We hardly had need to bother…Tianjin tonight is doing its best impersonation of London during the Blitz.
The evening was a festive one with jiaozi and television. Once again I sat through all four excruciating hours of the CCTV New Years Gala. I even kept some notes which I may or may not post later depending on how snarky I’m feeling in the morning light.
Happy “Niu” Year (Yeah, I went there) and YJ and I wish everyone good health, happiness, and prosperity for the coming Year of the Ox!
