So I just got into the office, and almost no one is here. Completely forgot it's Chinese new year, technically not an official holiday here, but everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten that.

So, for the second out of three times this year; Happy new year everyone, especially those of you from China :)

There are going to be Chinese NY events here in Dublin so I'll be definitely attending them

Happy new year to all of our Chinese friends here on GOG :)

Chinese New Year is saving me like $400 on airfare. And probably a similar amount next year.

hedwards: Dragon.
Oh neat! Thanks, Hedward. According to the internet, my Chinese zodiac sign is "Dragon." I suppose this'll be a good year! :D

Haha, yes indeed. Happy New Year everyone.

Meh... I'm hating it personally
Firecrackers going off 24/7... all the shops/restaurants are shut... nowhere to get any food...
AND I have to leave the country right at the tail end of the week holiday... fun... at least I was able to get a bus ticket... though I'm sure the price was jacked... 550RMB for a bus to HK from Fuzhou... RIPOFF...

The awesome thing is that the character for Dragon totally looks like a Dragon about to level a city.

And if you can divide your age by 12 without a remainder it should be the same zodiac sign as the one that you were born in, assuming you've had your birthday already in the year.

Probably, one of my mother's coworkers is over in the PRC right now and she spent roughly triple the airfare that I'm spending to go.

There are many different "New Years" worldwide

Russian Orthodox New Year for example

That seems a bit high - it costs us about 100-120 to get from Guangzhou to Chaozhou (though we're staying in GZ this year). How long is the journey by bus from Fuzhou to HK?

Xin Nian Kuai Le, Happy Chinese New Year everybody! The weather is quite nice today, too nice to be spent outside, so I am inside now, playing games of course! :-D
