Chinese New Year: decorations

These are the lights inside of my apartment complex. It looks like Christmas all over again.

Right outside of my building. These small orange trees are everywhere and mean something about good luck and fortune.

I thought these fruits were really unique...another traditional decoration.



One of the flower markets. During this week, people do a huge cleansing of their homes and lives...like a giant spring cleaning. All of the stores are having huge sales, as people get rid of the old and bring in the new. People will have flowers in their homes and bring them to friends and relatives as they do their Chinese New Year visits.
