What's strange above also is that Chinese New Year is a holiday in the predominantly Muslim southern areas, and not in the predominantly Chinese northern areas. Go figure? :roll:

At least the traffic police and body snatchers will be busy ... :duck:

Also ... Feb. 24 is a Buddha day so all bars are closed and no alcohol, happy long weekend. :|

As a reminder 2024 is a Leap Year, meaning that February has 29 days. :cheers:

Note: I would think Immigration may not be open on Friday, May 10. Should be confirmed.

May 22 will be a no alcohol sold day.
