happy 牛 year, dear readers*
Monday was the celebration of the Chinese New Year. I can just imagine my old friends Kathy; Rose, Sarah and Catherine and all those other great friends that I met in China celebrating the Spring Festival and the month of vacation that they get. Most are probably spending time with their families in their hometowns right now. The kids have received their "lucky money" and they've enjoyed feasts of dumplings, fish and sweets.
It brings me back to my Chinese New Year which, ironically was NOT spent in China. I was in Laos with friends and we decided to celebrate by going bowling. To commemorate the festival we feasted on highly nutritious and moderately delicious Chinese ramen noodles. It was, granted, a bit anti-climactic, but pretty cool as well.
* " 牛" is the character for an ox, bull or cow. The pinyin is niú which is pronounced similarly to "new". Thus the play on words: "happy niú year". Get it? Pretty clever, eh? Yeah, not mine.
