Happy year of the Rabbit everyone! The first night was wicked, the streets were thick with grey gunpowder smoke, I adore that smell, and a riot of sound and colour as firework after firework went up. Had to move out of the way of a car without lights traversing the pavement casual as you like.
They let off fireworks on our hotel roof so we had a magnificent view, not only of our fireworks but of everybody else's. It was breathtaking, as if we were surrounded by a giant electrical storm.
We had been to tiannmen square in the morning, cold, epic and solemn and had Peking duck for supper including the duck brain, served to us with the most non existent customer service ever. We could have had shark fin soup but that is probably the one thing I wouldn't eat, well maybe deep fried panda wrapped in braised tiger coated in a jus made from sumatran rhino stock or something like that, is probably also on my list of no eats!
