Time for another kick axe haircut, this one being even cheaper at 80, about 10 bucks (I have no idea why), and even better than last time.   I’m getting spoiled here.

After that, I decided to go all out (for me) and enjoy the rest of the evening before heading back in to do some more work, so I went down to the caffe and talked to Sandro and the waitresses.   This time, I had them talk to me only in Chinese (not Sandro), unless, of course, I had to ask how to say something.   That’s good practice.   I had a salad, some white wine, and some excellent pasta.   I finished off the dinner with some tang yuan which is the traditional dessert on this final day of the Chinese New Year season.   Theyre these little balls made from sticky rice with a gritty blueish black sweet substance in the middle.   They’re served in sweetened water.   They are supposed to help bring happiness and prosperity.

Again, there were fireworks tonight, but with more frequency.   Someone told me of a party not far from where I live, but now it’s pretty late and I need to go do some more work to prepare for tomorrow.
