Chinese New Year

The apples at the supermarket have symbols on them (I presume they say "Happy New Year")- not stickers, but actual change in the peel pigmentation... amazing, except the price has now gone from R2.50 to R3.90 each!

There was great excitement and busyness in the lobby of our hotel, as the New Years decorations went up. It's the year of the rabbit, which means that red and pink are lucky colours- so there are lots of pink blossomed trees about. It feels a bit like Chinese Christmastime.
