    What is everyone doing for Chinese New Year


    I'm going home on the eve eat eat LOTS of food,
    and since home is far away, and i normally dont get to see my friends since i've moved
    I will spend the day of New Years visiting friends,
    then eat LOTS more food with my family that night again before i go home and prepare for the next day of work, since it's not a public holiday in the US


    I have another questions
    do you guys spending Chinese New Years with your immediate family or with your extended family too?

    The usual. Visit this aunt, that aunt, this uncle, that friend, dinner with all relatives, first at their house, then at ours, then eat out at some restaurant.

    And pray at a temple for another prosperous year of course.

    uhm. i suppose i'll be celebrating new year by myself.

    studying away from home has its pleasant traits ... however, it does have its bad traits, and this is one of them.


    happy chinese new years in advance!!

    Unfortunately, my family (both immediate AND extended) do not live in the same city as I do, so I always end up sharing a meal with a few close pseudo-orphaned friends.
