new years day


This has become a Hangzhou tradition - New Year's Day lunch with Angela and Vivian.
Angela and Vivian  are two of the first friends I had in Hangzhou.

  • On January 1, 2002 they invited me to have New Year's Day lunch at the restaurant at Yellow Dragon Stadium where Angela's brother was Chief Chef.

  • In 2003, it was a Korean restaurant - but I forgot to bring the camera.

  • In 2004, it was Thai food at the Banana Leaf.

  • In 2005, it was Dongbei food.

  • 2006, marked our 5th year. I guess that makes it a tradition. We had lunch at Ling Long Town Restaurant on Nan Shan Lu.

  • This year, 2007, we had a strange but fun lunch. Hooters has opened a branch in Hangzhou to go along with it's two stores in Shanghai. So I introduced Vivian and Angela to some real American food and customer service, albeit staffed with Chinese hooters.

As the pictures below show, over 6 years, I get fatter and older, but Angela and Vivian haven't aged a bit.
