First Day of The Chinese New Year of Dragon

S came back from Germany to spend the Chinese New Year Holiday,she wanted to go to Temple,
and did something special for this new year,
as a result,
last night,
we went to "Ma Kok Miu" before 12AM,
this is the place which I didn't go for many years,
as usual, for the first day of the Chinese New Year,
there were a lot of people and a lot of smoke inside,
it reminds me of my childhood and the chinese traditions with my family.

S spent sometime inside the temple and prayed to the Buddha,
then, we brought back good luck, forture and health to home,
through bringing a big burned incense after the ritual offering.

The temperate was very cold, only 7C,
in order to keep the tradition,
take a fortune walk,
we walked along the streets in Macau peninsula,
from Ma Kok, Sai Wan, Nam Wan, Central, Ho Lan Un, Tap Siac,
Lou Kou, Rua Pedro Coutinho, Rua Pereira Xavier, Areia Preta to the Triangle Garden.

It was a really a long walk,
the streets were first full of people to none of the people,
and also no more buses on the streets.

Until the streets were very quite,
almost 2 AM,
we got a taxi back to Central,
and ate our midnight breakfast in a Casino -
the food was very delicious,
we had the fried noodles and the black and purple glutinous rice with coconut juice sweet soup.

By the time home,
it was almost 3AM,
I didn't stay late until the early morning for a long long time,
this is a really special and cold Chinese New Year morning,
with my far away friend,
don't know when will be the next time to meet in future!
