The Year of Wong Wong

This is the year of the Dog; the 12 animal for Chinese New Year; probabely The year of the dog is the difficult one for people to greeting each other with " Good Message ", so, I used Wong Wong as the key message sending to my friends and business associate, since this is my first year to run my own business, I should considering my client always.

Sending parent to India 2 days before Chinese New Year, the 12 days Royal trips making rest of the family members ( me, my wife and 2 kids ) the first Chinese New Year without preparing New Year Eve meals. wife married me for 18 years, this is the first year she don't have to worry about what to prepare for a big feast. I reserved a room with 4 beds for the family at FancyWorld Amusement Park and Resort. we planned to stay for the New Year Eve and ready for the should-be traffic jam.

Leaving home by 8:00 am, before unplug all the eletronic cable, we took the highway number 3 to Dao Lio, the traffic wasn't as bad as we see, we arrived by 1 pm. 2 hours ahead of the schedule, checked in and brought 2 kids to the amusement park, they enjoy the attraction so much last time, this is why I decided to reserve Fancyworld, the other reason is this is where I grow - Dao Lio. this time, Sound and Fruit didn't enjoy those attractions as much as before. but , we leave the park by 5:00 pm and go for the buffue dinner on 7th floor.

as Ku Kang is famous for its Taiwan Coffee these years. we want to tried our luck at New Years' Eve, so, drove up to Hwa Shag and check those geougous cafe'. we did find a great one and enjoy Taiwan Coffee after the dinner.

Following morning, brought Sound for the second round at the Amusemet Park, without Fruit, he seems enjoy some attraction more , tried 2 new attratction which he didn't experience the first day. we stayed until 11:30 am.

Checking out and visit ChuKwang Temple before leaving Fancy world, we saw the temple one night earlier and wish to see it following morning. this is a very unique temple, on Chinese New Year, they set up tents outside the temple and offeirng visitor / touries free vegetaria lunch. we enjoy the free lunch so much and take a glace at the temple, a decent and serious one. I feel peace when seeing the temple.

We decided not to take the highway home after the lunch, as we expected to see more Chinese New Year's flovor on our way home, so I suggested to our driver - my wife, to take the surface home, it took us 10 hours home, but there's no traffic, we visitor lot of places where we didn't see before, such as Jiji town, a very clean place with scenic attractions.

Stop at Chin Seui Rest Area on highway number 3 is our last stop. it's like a big market , full of people eating and shopping. we were among those crowd, it seems in Chinese New Year, people can only visit certain places.

From Chin Seui to home - less than 2 hours drive. the traffic is so smooth. and it is the end of my Chinese New Year.

Coco sent her greeting to me, I am happy.
