Went for a fantastic seafood buffet dinner at the Westin. The Westin in Shanghai has a solid reputation for offering the best brunch in town, after dinner today, I might have to concur. Followed by a fireworks viewing at the Captain's Bar.
Met a Spanish film crew who was just filming the fireworks next to me (I know we are on Spanish TV tomorrow because the camera swung by our face at least 10 times during the night). Walked along the Bund with vendors selling tidbits, trinkets, and best of all, the giant lantern (孔龙灯). Setting off fireworks, and with some of the help from friendly passerbys, we went off our first lanterns after making our new year's wish.
Happy Chinese New Year !
