Celebrating Chinese New Year at Xiao Yu´s home with all her family and relatives.

Resume:
I ate a lot, especially all the chinese sweets...but I really liked them even though some tasted quite "interesting" I would say :-) ...


I got to know some Chinese traditions - like giving oranges to people for wishing them luck.

I went to 4 different houses of Xiao Yu´s family - all very nice places.

I got to know how to play Bridge (well almost...;-)!)

I watched this brutal but still great chinese movie, which name I of course forgot...

I was singing Karaoke with Xiao Yu, her sisters and cousins at her grandmothers place (believe it or not, they have their own Karaoke room!)

andandand...

Thank you so much - I loved it and had such a fun day :-)

so - zhu ni hao yun! (Good luck) yes, i also learned some chinese....

Thaipusam -
Indian religious festivity in Kuala Lumpur at the Batu Caves

Beginning of february Emily and me went for a short 2 day trip to Kuala Lumpur to see the Thaipusam and also do a little sightseeing in town.


It took us 5 hours to come to KL with our luxurious bus - it was really comfortable - private TV, nice chairs,...



on the next day we meet Miguel and Fernando from Mexico at the Petronas Twin Towers to enjoy the awesome view over KL.

After that we took a cab to the Thaipusam - is was really impressive:

over 1 million people - mostly indians, of course, - different music, smells, colours, lots of praying and dancing, andandand...

it was just a great day full of amazing impressions and a really unique experience being part of such a celebration
