New year, new look

The Tiger is waning and the Year of the Rabbit is rising! One of the benefits of growing up Chinese is celebrating New Year's twice, sometimes even in the same month! For those of you in the dark (like I was until my Mom informed me), Chinese New Year occurs on February 3, 2011 this year..that means it's only 8 days away!

Basic Facts
In 2010, we welcomed the Year of the Tiger (and year 4707 in the Chinese Lunar calendar) on February 14
In 2011, we will welcome the Year of the Rabbit (and year 4708) on February 3 (with CNY's eve on February 2)

Souvenirs de Boston

I'm back home en la France! Actually, I've been back 2 days, arriving Wednesday morning after a pretty bump ride across the Atlantic. Recall my last blog update rating AA and BA? Well, maybe they read it, because on my transatlantic flight my wishes were answered! There were no less than 5 pretty hot looking male flight attendants. Super friendly, service-oriented, and easy on the eyes too. And the fun didn't stop there - since the flight was very light, I even got an entire row to myself....it was so good to stretch out. I fell asleep watching Eat, Pray, Love.
 

Another cute moment captured...

What a great trip to Boston - extending the trip by an extra week was so worth it, allowing me to spend more time with friends and family, including the littlest loves of my life (my 2 nephews with their Mom andDad), and eat Mom's home cooking. As an early birthday celebration, my sis and nephew I baked me some dinosaur cakes. Yum.

A Bostonian in Boston!

Happy new year! 2010 was an amazing, eye-opening, romantic, life-changing experience filled with laughter, love, learning, challenges, great friends and family. Excited and hopeful for 2011.
