In China, they celebrate the new year based on their lunar calendar.
Meaning that they count the start of the new based on the lunar cycle.
This year it will on the 16th of February.

What most people don't know is that the country basically shuts down for almost a month.
Everyone working in the city goes back to their home town, and working is basically impossible because everyone shuts down. So we are taking off for 2 weeks....to Thailand!

Lisa and I will be spending 6 days in Phuket, in Patong beach and Phi Phi islands

Then we will go to Bangkok for about 3 days.
Hoping to get some great food there, and see some old friends and clients!

All day i have had one song in my head...

Zac Brown band - Toes

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today Life is good today
Well, the plane touched down just about three o'clock
And the city's still on my mind
Bikinis and palm trees danced in my head
I was still in the baggage line
Concrete and cars are there own prison bars like this shit I'm living in
But the plane brought me farther
I'm surrounded by water
And I'm not going back again

Damn, and we have only 2 days of holiday in Singapore . bummer.
Well, good for you. Have a good break and enjoy your trip.

Thanks !
Yeah its pretty cool to get the 2 weeks off, but its actually the first time i won't be working during chinese new year. I'm usually the only one in the office finishing the end of year reports and accounting.
So this year I'm pretty stoked to finally be able to take off.

I saw you just went there, how did you like it ? It's my first to Thailand as well

You're welcome. No, I've not been to Thailand for a while.
Finance and the period end and year end closing.... sigh...
Time to think about it :-)

Yeah that is the situation we have, finally I was able to get everything take. Care of before CNY and able to take off
