Door Blessings
Everyone is hanging up door signs asking for good things in the coming year. They remain up until next year’s festival. Ours says ‘Blessings’!😂What would yours ask for?

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween 👻💀👽👸🕵👰! Made my kids day by dressing up today. We took pictures! 📸
Summer Vibes at Haeundae Beach!
#Haeundae Beach! I totally lucked out 😊 My #hotel (#ArkBlueHotel) was only 2 blocks from the #beach, was cheap, and the staff were really nice! 💕 The beach was basically empty! In mid-July!!! So nice, soft sand, cold water. . . . gorgeous experience!
Happy Trees!
Celebrations abound! Festive palm tree in Taipei
Lanterns in the Water
City Sidewalks, Brilliant Sidewalks
Mr. Jazz the Snowman
#Griffyndor Festival! (also know as the #Chinese Spring Festival)
Chinese Spring Festival🐉 . . . when all of China turns into gryffindor 🦁 house and red and gold colors 🇨🇳 rule.
I think Walmart might be secretly connected to Chinese hogwarts. Walk inside and its gryffindor pride
everywhere.
*Personally, I’m a slytherin – which fits, since my Chinese zodiac Animal is the snake 🐍
Fishes and Peppers!
#Chinese New Year’s is upon us! I know because there are fish with red pepers being hung!
#Fish around the new years represents “nián nián yǒu yú (年年有鱼)” which means ‘May you have Fish every year.’ Apparently it is pronounced the same as ‘May you have extra each year. Also the word for fish is similar to the Chinese word for ‘enough’
Apparently the red peppers repesent good luck and income (I’ve had different responses).
So the picture means – ‘May you have enough of everything you need in the New Year!
