恭喜发财( gongxi facai)! which means kind of like hope you have a prosperous year. So this is my last chinese new year in hong kong and it has been a lot of fun. Sunday night we went to the Lai's party and had hot pot. Today for lunch we went over to Discovery Bay and had lunch with the Lewis family. Then for dinner we went to the Seal's party and had traditional chinese foods- like sweat and sour chicken, minced beef and beans, beef, and dumplings. Of course we provided the brownies :) Tomorrow night we are going to watch the fireworks at the Sander's party. Needless to say, we have been busy! But it has been a lot of fun to eat traditional foods for the holiday! I am really going to miss celebrating Chinese New Years in Hong Kong!
I think you should make it a tradition to celebrate Chinese New Year every year, no matter where you are.
ReplyDeleteRemember Doug Neumann? When he moved off to college, he still celebrated Advent (A German Holiday around Christmas) and invited his friends to celebrate with him. I got to go and it was a lot of fun. Reminded me of the times we used to all get together for Advent back in the day.
ANYWAY...I think it would be cool if you continue that. Chinese New Year is a part of your life and who you are now.
Plus, who COULDN'T use another excuse to party!!!?!!!?
