Load ‘em up!

On Lunar New Year’s Eve, the streets are almost empty, and most buses basically seem abandoned. This is because most people are in their homes with family and friends eating, watching tv, and closing out the past year. My bus was actually pretty full for the holiday, as I saw others pass by with not even a single passenger aboard.
However, come the few days following New Year ’s Eve, and the busses are all packed again with people out and about, going to temple fairs, and enjoying the festive mood.
