New Year's is coming!

The Chinese New year is February 3rd and it is surronded with 2 weeks of vacation for both school kids and workers. So it is a big deal. Around Tainan you can just feel the excitment. Lots of special things are on sale because everyone goes home for the holidays and brings something home.

Red is the big color of celebration for posters and gift envelopes.

Even the local minimarkets get into the actions with packages of snacks for the vacation days.

There are stands selling all the decorations you might need.

And of course there's food that is special for the occasion, maybe just in amounts not seen during the year.

We're all going to be careful otherwise it could be an unhealthy holiday.
