January was a quiet and colorful month for Daisy, Brian and me.

Daisy and I decided to go to the top of Fei Ngo Shan ( flying goose mountain ) to see the sunrise on New Years morning.

For some reason we walk up the Ho Chung Valley before dawn and get water from the river and throw some burning stuff in the water and then carry it back to the village. This is on the way back.
