Maxx and Tom if you haven't been in China during the Chinese new year you don't know what you are missing, its great there are no words for it, the people have a very good time and do a lot of work to get it the way it should be, I was there before and during one and let me tell you there is nothing like it any where in the world and it will seem to go on for a long time, so if you have the chance to go, don't pass it up.
By the way Tom good luck with Her Visa
