Happy New Year! We rang in the New Year here with a quiet evening at home. After all, Ethan was sleeping and we just moved here so we were kind of homebound anyway. No problem for us - as most of you know Jeff and I have always felt like New Year's Eve has always been a bit overrated. I did go down to the beach with a Heineken in hand around 9p.m. to see the HK Disney fireworks which was pretty cool. Jeff made it until 11:48 p.m. and then crashed but I stayed up to watch the fireworks in downtown HK on TV. Next year we promised each other we would go to the city to see this live. It was spectacular on TV so we have to see this in person while were here! I cannot imagine how they'll do the Chinese Lunar New Year celebration!Also, we just have to tell you about what simple little thing has made our New Year's Day even better - we FINALLY found real tortilla chips here today! We were like "kids in a candy store" except we actually found them in a movie rental place here in DB! We've looked everywhere for these crazy chips in 4 different grocery stores and settled for what tasted like salted cardboard....until today! When I asked the lady, "How much?" we were prepared to pay anything but to our amazement they were less than what we'd pay in the States (only by $0.50 but that has happened for anything else here). We wanted to buy all of them but settled for just one bag for now. Yea for Tostino's White Corn Chips! There something to be said for persistence here. :0)
