Default HAPPY Chinese New YEAR!!!

Hi everyone,

Today is New Year's day in the lunar Chinese calendar. I wrote about the legend behind Chinese New Year on my blog:

Hope you are having a great day!

Thanks for writing up that story Xin. My non-Chinese friends keep asking me why Google's logo is infested by rats. Now I can just point them to your article.

Happy Chinese New Year. My lucky cousins in Taiwan are partying away and feasting on tons of yummy food. Almost wish I was there too to collect some red envelopes.

I'm late but Happy Chinese New Year! No "lucky money" for me since I'm now earning my own keep, but seriously, my family wasn't into that tradition. We are serious about the FOOD, though, yum yum, dumplings, noodles, fish....
