Goodbye Jingle Bells, Hello Dong Dong Chiang!

I went to Carrefour to do some shopping during the weekend and was amused to see the speed at which Christmas is being taken over or replaced by Chinese New Year.

• Goodbye Jingle Bells, Hello Dong Dong Chiang
• Goodbye Green, Hello Red
• Goodbye Christmas trees, Hello Cherry Blossoms
