Chinese New Year

February 10, 2013

It's very unusual for me to have two blog posts in one day but I forgot to say Happy Chinese New Year 2013. It'll be a short one though.

I'll say it properly in Mandarin. Or type. 恭喜发财 or 新年快乐。The first one is Gong Xi Fa Cai which I think means like may you earn a fortune or something along the lines of that. The second one is Xin Nian Kuai Le which means Happy New Year. Enough with the Mandarin lessons. Laughs.

So it's now the year of snakes. Apparently I was told something horrible happens during the year of snakes because snakes are known to be poisonous. Don't believe me? Well here comes the creepy part. The last time it was the year of the snake, there was 9/11. And the Wall Street Crash also happened during the year of the snake in 1929.

I happen to be born in the year of the rats. Since rats and snakes live side by side, I gotta be extra careful this year. Okay. Enough with this-whatever this is.

Anyways, this Chinese New Year I might go to China Town because there's like street food and shows. They closed the whole road and since I live near by, I figured, why not?

I'll let you know how it is. Until then, take care.

Will be back soon,
