The only problem with Chinese New Years is that two hours later you're ready for another. *nod*

Chinese New Year, dude. It's at a different time than the, uh... other New Year. That happens January 1st.

EDIT: Wait. Last Thursday? Now I'm just really confused. Ignore me!

Believe it or not I know about chinese new year. I just asked because I saw a New Year parade on thursday.

Apparently it starts today, but celebrations started earlier.

Mm. I realized. Which is why my edit calls for people to ignore me.

I love CNY. Mainly cause I get 2 weeks off,
Woo-Hoo!

I'm back in ZN visiting friends and kin (and my dog!). Missed the fireworks and parade back in HK though. Saw it last year. Pretty cool. Fireworks was amazing - over 30 000 pieces set off. Parade was ok, but far too many people.
