I want to go to sleep, so this post will be relatively short :)
Today is the Lunar Calendar's NEW YEAR! Also known as CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!! YAY!!! My family had really yummmmmmmyyyy food yesterday and today: dumplings, seafood (you have to have this for the new year, it's to do with the word for "fish" and "plenty/extra" sounding the same-so if you eat fish, you'll have plenty/extra/surplus of GOOD THINGS/FOOD <3), nian gao (which is like, sticky rice cake things...mmmm) and lots of other delicious things. Anyways, that's really all I wanted to say. School has started again >.< Second semester is going, okay...Essentially, I am going to study really hard this semester, and get A+'s in ALL THE THINGS. This includes AP Bio tests and math tests...which I can totally do :)
For Chinese New Year, there's also this show/celebration/"variety show" on TV that my family watches every year. I couldn't find a video of it, but that's okay...
sooooo....that's all! I'll leave y'all with these lovely pictures! :D

| Apparently, Chinese New Year/the Spring Festival is celebrated around the world now. This is in the UK. |

| While this isn't OUR table, it gives you an idea of how amazingly yummy and how much food there is... |

| DUMPLINGS!!! |

| Common misconception...you don't "raise the red lantern" (lol) on Chinese New Year, that's for the Lantern Festival: the 15th lunar day! |
Luv, Lynda!
