CNY

It's the first day of the Lunar New Year! Traditionally a time of copious amounts of indulgent food, stuffed full of preservatives and various other chemicals detrimental to general well being. Not to mention the relatives you only see once a year, and couldn't really give 2 hoots about.

I'm not getting any of that here. At least I've got W with me. Which is nice. Real nice. We were at Chinatown the day before, and there were all these decorations and throngs of people stocking up on the goodies, but I just wasn't getting it. I guess being in a different country, without all the family around you just makes the whole thing seem more alien and more detached. Well....
