新年快乐！ Happy New Year!
It's the Chinese New Year on the fifth. Normally I would be doing some special lessons with my Chinese students in class but I no longer teach Chinese.

But I still want to have a good Lunar New Year. I hope you all do as well.

How does one celebrate chinese new year?

Good food. Especially dumplings bc those signify wealth. Even moreso bc Year of the Pig/Boar. Also New Year’s money!

Traditionally, little kids get new clothes, too.

Oh, interesting!

There’s a lot of red decorations everywhere. Red paper lanterns, red paper strips with “prosperity” written on it, hanging from doors, that sort of stuff.

Granted, I’ve never actually /been/ in Taiwan on New Year’s.

Lol Espy stole my thunder there. xD haha

Happy Year of the Boar/Pig!! ^_^

Now I'm picturing that scene in Fruits Basket where Kagura beats up Kyo. :D
