Chinese New Year is crazy fun.
Fireworks everywhere!
Food on every corner!
People traveling all over the place!
Even nicer Taiwanese people!
No school for a whole week!
Taxi rides cost 30% more!
City decorations!
During Chinese New Year, which I've learned is about 5 days long, I've walked around Hsinchu for a bit and looked at the decorations that are up.
At the mall.
They have festive floats on the river, which goes right through the middle of downtown Hsinchu.
I watched this cat catch a live fish right out of the river!
It's good to see the circle of life in motion.
Frog just chillin.
City workers putting up lanterns.
Grilling food on the street corner.
I didn't photograph it but just to the left of this photo is a gigantic food/street market that is set up just for CNY.
This picture is in that market though...
Fried octopus.
I did not eat.
The following pictures I took during the day, and then at night to show the lights.

Marionettes.
Lanterns.
It's been neat walking around and seeing all the different decorations and festivities. It really is like one big party the entire week. Honestly, fireworks have not stopped. I can hear them all the time and occasionally see them right here from my very bedroom.
I can hear them right now.
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Wow Craig. Amazing pictures. I can't imagine fireworks all day and night. I need my quiet. I got a kick out of the cat with the fish.
