Now in Dalian and will stay here during the Chinese New Year/Spring Festival. We will spend time with friends and family who are in Dalian. The festival always creates a fantastic atmosphere for gatherings and reminds us to say thanks for the good things in our lives and find new ways to tackle our challenges. Xin nian kuai le!
