Chinese New Year

We've just had Chinese New Year here (aka Lunar New Year), which is a bigger event than Christmas. There are decorations galore, and since it's Year of the Rabbit, that means a proliferation (how appropriate) of neon rabbits, golden rabbits, red paper rabbits, rabbits shaped out of flowers... you name it. I enjoy getting into the spirit of things, so we've even hung up a string of cute cartoon rabbits on our door and window at the flat.

CNY also means 5 days off work! So we popped our heads out of the flat a couple of times see what was going on...
