Happy New Year!

First off, here is the long anticipated video from my birthday. We had dinner at an Indian restuarant that night during the course of dinner, some diners started dancing on stage. They insisted we join them, to my embarrassment. So here is the video of that.

All in all, it was a fun night.

New Years Eve was also a good time. Luckily for me, I didn't have to work on Saturday or Sunday, so I had a nice four day vacation. Erik, on the other hand, had to go to Chinese class on Saturday (to make up for having class off on Tuesday) and had to teach on Monday (to make up for having work off on Saturday). So, he stayed busy. We went out with friends on New Years Eve and then both enjoyed New Years Day off. This was the first year that I didn't watch the ball drop in Time's Square on TV, but the restuarant we were at did have a countdown on a screen for the last 10 seconds of 2007. So it was still fun. Here's some pictures from out night out.

The resturant went all out for New Year's Eve. They had this guy juggle fire, it was pretty cool. Here's a video of that.

Happy New Year everybody!

Great videos of the dancing and flaming torches! Happy Birthday, Amara, and to both of you Erik and Amara -- Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Mom and I just made hotel reservations in Beijing for the Olympics, so I guess I'll really be coming to China this summer -- more in an e-mail.

Amara, I think taiji would make your dancing even more impressive! Did you drink all those heinekins all by yourself?

Happy New Year! See you this summer!
