Lunar New Year

[oftheherd]

OT, but for any interested, tomorrow, 9 Feb 05, is the Lunar New Year. It is the year of the rooster. The current year, at least until tomorrow, is the year of the monkey, and next year will be the year of the dog.

For more than you probably want to know about lunar (emphasis on Chinese) new years, try http://www.new-year.co.uk/chinese/calendar.htm

And for the Korean slant on it, go to http://www.clickasia.co.kr/about/h0101.htm which includes activities, foods, etc.

Happy New Year everybody at RFF !!

Happy New Year!

I even know some chinese, it sounds like: tue bouh che...shing huen nye choeh shwa yinguaen ma?
I also know that if the answer sounds anything like " bow chuei " - I would have to retreat to drawing things up.. 😀

wanna learn both languages (japanese and mandarin) though..

cheers,
phil

Chuc mung nam moi - Vietnamese

Sehe pok mani patu seyo - Korean (with a correct, on your knees bow, with face lowered to the ground if it is your parents or grandparents 😀 ) My mother-in-law used to really enjoy it when I did that for her.
