春节快乐!恭喜发财!

The year of the bull! It's Chinese new year again, meaning I've been in Beijing for two years now. Very incredible.

So everyone, eat fish or koi shaped rice cakes, hang a portrait of the god of prosperity, 财神 (Cai Shen), tape an upside down “福” character on your front door, light off fireworks to scare off demons, give younger family members red, cash-filled envelopes, eat dumplings, hang out with your family, eat something sweet, tip well, clean your house...

So, repeat after me, 春节快乐!(Chun1 jie2 kuai4 le!) Or try, CHUN GEA K-WHY LUH!
