Happy Year of the Water Snake !

10Feb13

Chinese New Year is today. Happy New Year to all ! I don’t know what the significance of the year of the snake is, but it’s a good reason to celebrate and to post a few more photos from my Hong Kong trip last May. Here’s a fun bit of Chinese astrology if you’re interested.

Are those first few photos from Man Mo temple in Hollywood Rd? I always visit there when I am in Hong Kong. I am a water snake…I hope there are good omens for us this year.

  Yes they are! Though I remember at least one other temple, whose name I can’t recall that had similar lanterns. It’s the year of the water snake, so it’s gotta be good for those born that year I’m sure.
