Happy New Year!

It's Chinese New Year! We wish our family in Shanghai a very happy Year of the Rat! We say: Gelukkig nieuwjaar and Emil (who is studying Chinese) says: Xin nian hao!

We are planning to visit China in this ratty year. In May we will go to Shanghai to see how big Constantine and Amanda have become and to see how Piter and Dan are doing.
We are also planning to see some new places: Beijing and Xian. Now I hope they didn't send all their Terracotta warriors to Assen, here in the Netherlands, because we would like to see some of them there.

Mmm... judging from this picture, I'm sure it'll be fine!
