New years eve in china

I'm doing much better now! No more fever or stomach ache. Srill have a terrible cough though.
I talked to Amy about here sister, She said that when she was 8 years old her mom asked her if she wanted a sister and then she got one. Her parents had to pay a whole bunch of money when she was born though.
 
On Wednesday night it was New years Eve. It was amazing! We went out on one of the balconys and there were fire works all around. Then we went down and did fire crackers and a whole bunch of other things like that. Her parents also gave me some presents and money in a red envelope. Parents give the red envelope to their kids or other young people. You are suppose to put it under your pillow when you sleep.
 
On Thursday we stayed at home most the day, becuase it is bbad luck to go out becuase you might end up buying something, and if youo buy something then you wont stop!
We played mahjong and I am not sure exactly who won.
We ended up going out to a department store anyways though.
 
Today was great! We went to visit her godmother who is her mom's best friend. Then we went with them to a resturant . The food was cooked in a pan in front of you and it is like a stew that you add things too. It had rabbit meat and it was SO good!!
Then we went to this famous place where they had all these blown up electric statue things of CHinese gods and then of different cultures sun gods, and other structures. At night they light up and it was really pretty.
We saw the excavation sight of a whole munch of 3000 year old chinese artifacts. It was really neat. Mom you would have liked it. Amy said that her mom use to want to be an archiologist, but she couldn't choose her major and so had to do accounting.
Oh, ya. Her Dad works for pepsi Co.
