To the untrained eye...



I'm waiting for someone to comment: "You guys all look alike." This is celebrating the middle of Chinese New Year.... something like that. It's a 15 day holiday. It's still not over yet.

Chinese New Year Photos

Here are some photos I snapped during my visit to HuaiNan.

Dinner w/ the relatives


This is at the Shanghai Railway Station. I left 2 days early to beat the rush when most people have off work and start home. This is at 1am ... I heard it was even crazier the days after this, people where jumping onto the train thru the windows.


About $3 US worth of firecrackers to keep me occupied for a couple hours. You can buy boxes of matchstick firecrackers for 0.5RMB, right next to them selling fruits, veggies, drinks, haha.


I found some un-set-offed crackers outside my grandparent's complex. I lit one off and I fucking thought I blew off my ear.... that shit was fucking scary. The fuse went off in less than a blink.
