day 13 - lots of catching up to do
we lost a lot of constructive days during our downtime and unfortunately we missed the first few days of chinese new years. chinese new years is celebrated very differently in asia and this is my first time being in the middle of this entire event. during this festive celebration, majority of the none corporate venues are closed till further notice and most restaurants are closed up because everyone is enjoying delicious dinning at home with their friends and families. the importance of chinese new years in asia is equivalent of christmas in america and is usually celebrated for more than 2 weeks.
