Xin Nian Kuai Le! May your year of the Monkey be full of Happiness, Prosperity and Adventure


I always get homesick for Shanghai at Chinese New Year. 
Many expats would use the break to get away from China and explore the region. 
I loved being in Shanghai for Chinese New Year, watching the world's
biggest human migration take place before my eyes, the traditions unfold around me.
Then there were the fireworks, nothing like having fireworks go off all around you.
Wondrous, magical! Our apartment on the 29th floor the perfect vantage point.

Happy Year of the Fire Monkey!

Enjoy the fireworks from our apartment in 2011, the year of the Golden Rabbit.
