Year of the bunny

Gung hay fat choy to everyone, its the year of the bunny!
Hualien county government spends a lot of money on fireworks, perhaps it is because the cost of fireworks is much cheaper here. We are treated to spectacular displays about every other month. I didn't even know there was fireworks for Chinese new year until I was promptly disturbed while I was doing laundry on our balcony. What a show it was!



Temperature has returned to normal after some cold days just before Chinese new year, it is now 18 to 25C which is very comfortable. Perfect weather for tennis and I manage to play about five hours everyday.
