Wow, Feb 18th is the Chinese New Year, the year of pig, the year of fortune!
You could see many golden pigs in shops, offices, and even hanging in the cars!
In the cities and villages, you now could see the happy, warm and easy environment of a new year, and all those smiling faces around you!
Bought 2 KG of Sichuan sausage online, and some dried fruits, like hami watermelon (a very sweet melon), dried apricot, and some special Xinjiang specialties, including a bit over 3 pounds of horse sausage! Those were shopped on taobao.com, and hope to receive them before the eve.
Also bought some wines (a big box of Jing wine), a big box of fruit juice etc.
And will buy more today!

Ah, thanks for your warm words, mayenskie.
Now many families like to have eve dinner in restaurants, but i dont like that idea. I love enjoying all the local decilious and special foods (haha, like a pig), even though we could buy them at big mall or stores, but such products are always yielded in an industrial way. So I like buying such foods online, trying to find those family made foods here.
Ah splendid fireworks! But are not allowed in cities, would have to go to a surburb here to see that.
Wish you too have a very wonderful new year, and a healthy, wealthy and happy year of PIGGGGGG.

Thanks for the pen icon! My family would just have a nice dinner at home. There's a 30-minutes fireworks display for everybody in our city this Feb. 18th.
Enjoy!
