CNY At Yuyuan


Went on the first day of the Chinese New Year at the Yuyuan Gardens in Shanghai. Since it was the first day of Chinese New Year, both me and J did not want to invoke any bad karma from swearing at people. To illustrate how much I really wanted good karma for the year as opposed to what happened last year, I had on lucky red undies just to be safe.

Maybe we were the only ones who felt about good karma, because even though it was the first day of the Chinese New Year, it did not stop anyone from cutting our queue or shoving us around. By the end of the day when we escaped the masses, we were chanting "karma" like a Buddhist sutra.


Anyway, we made it through the bridge of nine turns in Yuyuan for some good luck after massive amounts of effort.
