Chinese Wedding

I've had this post in my drafts box since May last year, time to publish!

Last May I was invited by my friend to attend her Wedding Celebration, we met at her apartment and watched her husband carry her up the stairs! Then they gave tea to their parents, aunts and uncles to show respect and were given red packets in return.

We then got into a bus and drove for 3 hours to a rural town where her husband grew up.

When we got there people were setting off fireworks and handing out lollies, everyone was so excited! We then went inside and they did more tea ceremonies for his family and other ceremonies to bring luck and prosperity.

Then my friend got changed and we went to a big banquet. I'll add more photo's soon but I thought it would be good to just get this one out there.

Cherry Blossom Time

Hello! Well here I go, having another try at this blogging thing.

On Saturday just gone I was invited by 3 different groups of friends to go and see the flowers! It is Spring here and that means lots of flowers but especially Cherry Blossoms!
The Wuhan University is famous for it's Cherry Blossoms, that was the offer I took up and I'm so glad I did! I had so much fun and it was sooo beautiful!
Here are some pictures, hope you enjoy! The white ones are the Cherry Blossoms, the pink are Peach Blossoms.
