Why is Chinese New Year my favorite holiday?
a) It is dedicated to eating a lot of good food with your family and/or friends
b) Children and unmarried people receive money from relatives in little red envelopes (hong bao)
c) Lion dancing
d) No religious affiliation
This is the first year in many that I won’t be home to celebrate CNY with my family, which is sad. But in preparation for CNY, I did clean my house and made some steamed vegetarian dumplings yesterday. I’m going to invite some friends over for dinner tonight.
Hooray for the Year of the Ox and gong xi fa chai (congratulations and good fortune)!
Your paranoic comments about rain are making me nervous about going back to my home country .
Any way thanks for all the good job there .
Happy New Year my sweet Ann! We love you soooo much!
I didn’t make it to the Rocking Wok on CNY this year, but I thought of you and missed getting a red envelope from my favorite Ann Ku in the whole wide world. And I apologize for ruining the group photo from CNY 2007 with my fleshy leg.
Hi,
My name is Jeff and I’m an RPCV from Belize. I am in grad school at the University of Vermont now and am working a group hired by the Ecuadorian Govt to generate some economic development strategies for the country.
I wanted to include an interview with some Ecuador PCVs. Would you be willing to participate by answering a few questions by email? It would really help to have your responses to help us understand the nature of the Ecuadorian economy. If you are willing, please send me an email at: frankjef@gmail.com and I’ll send out our interview questions. Thanks so much,
Jeff
