dragons

the chinese new year parade was definitely full of dragons but the parade itself was a bit slow. there was definitely lag time between the floats. but there were plenty of sparklers  {Previous to this i had tried to buy sparklers in chinatown, epic fail, everyone laughed at me, maybe i should have learned the chinese word for them because they definitely had them now, whatever} and interesting people to keep us entertained though. I would suggest getting a spot on market street next time. it was definitely worth being downtown in the evening though, the light on the buildings and the moon were beautiful.

we finished off the night mexican food style and had deep conversation with a very dear friend. 

now back to homework and planning. we just received our last syllabi and there's much to be accomplished.
