Happy New Year!!
Posted in Business, Daily Life, Uncategorized on January 1st, 2009Already it’s January 1st, 2009, geez, where did the millennium go? For ChinaFubar it was a quiet New Year’s Eve, spent snuggling with Mrs. ChinaFubar and watching the festivities on Hong Kong TV.
Currently sitting at the local pub having a post new year’s lunch, and catching up with the New Year’s Eve happenings. Apparently there was the usual antics, foolishness in the bathrooms, people drinking mass quantities, etc. Seems, as in the U.S. New Year’s Eve is “amateur night” here in China also. But, some expats tend to be professional drinkers, so those dedicated souls consumed much more than usual apparently.
The pub itself is still showing the affects of the party, bits of silver confetti on the floor, chairs, and cracks in the bar. Currently the barmaid is trying to get the confetti from on top of the flat screen TV behind the bar using a pool cue.
For ChinaFubar, this year has held a strange mix of events. New jobs, no jobs, and moving around the country. Looks like next year will bring more of the same.
It’s said that an optimist looks to the new year ahead, and from the sounds of things in the news, it’s going to be an interesting year.
