It is still very quite around our house. I am hosting our quilt group today. We are a small group this week, only 9. Things are starting to close for the Chinese New Year (CNY). The construction site that I can see from our window usually looks like an ant pile with all the workers buzzing around. Today...the place is deserted. I wanted to go to the underground fabric market yesterday but 70% for the shops were closed. They will remain closed for two weeks or more depending on the owner. Many of the expats are also gone or getting ready to go on vacation to exotic places around Asia.
