Happy Year of the Ox

Today starts the Chinese New Year. We lived in Hong Kong for a year, and in mainland China for three years. So in honor of this first day of the Year of the Ox, I thought I'd share a couple of our China pictures.

Can you guess what this guy is doing?

He's making noodles. He would basically just stretch them and fold them over and over. Very cool to watch, and so delicious!

And here's Millie visiting the bakery near where we lived. I used to take her there every week or so and we would get a snack and watch them decorate cakes. As you can imagine, the workers took a liking to her!

So there's a little glimpse from the Middle Kingdom. Gong Xi Fa Cai! Or in Hong Kong, Kung Hay Fat Choi! Happy New Year!
