CNY celebrations in Beijing

This Chinese New Year in Beijing was a sedated affair for Robina and me. We met up with friends for gatherings and makan sessions. other than that we basically vegetated at home with our DVDs. Robina was under the weather probably due to the changing seasons.

After dinner with friends on New Year's eve, we joined the rest of Beijing to unleash a storm of fireworks and firecrackers.

On one occasion, even the local police stopped by for a look. they left sheepishly after we reminded them that letting off fireworks was legal within city limits during this period. all this while the rest of Beijing was merrily blasting away around us...
