Happy New Year to all the Big Noses

Here's hoping the fireworks didn't wake you up too early.

Happy Year of the Tiger

And a Happy New Year to all our local friends.

S.C.

Don't forget to light some candles and incense for the new kitchen god.

Cut your hair today - or leave it for a month - can't cut all the new year good luck out!

I'm turning my mobile OFF tonight!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Happy New Year, guys!

I loaded up today on ingredients needed for New Year's jiaozi!

Happy New Years, ladies and gentlemen. May the Year of the Tiger bring joy, prosperity and a fulfillment of all wishes to you and your loved ones. 

春节愉快 everyone! My husband is in the kitchen preparing our new year's dinner this very moment -- we got some huge massive shrimps at the market this morning! Also picked up some sparklers and roman candles for the kids (we go for the low-noise fireworks, not that it matters when the entire neighborhood sounds like a war zone!) for tonight, and are planning to head out to Chaoyang park for a temple fair tomorrow.

Hope the Tiger Year is a great one for us all!

happy new year

i'm too lazy to do anything. was meant to clean my house and go to shanghai but i haven't even gotten dressed properly yet

I just came back from down the street. Bought some BOOM-BOOMS, why should the locals have all the fun

Happy new year from my brother-in-law's new home in sunny (but kind of cool) Changchun. Nice place! Little ones are behaving at the moment, women are in the kitchen prepping jiaozi, and I'm in front of a 'puter.

With you on that one.  How was I to refuse when a makeshift fireworks shop opened up just outside my apartment this morning?

It doesn't feel like Spring Festival without fireworks. I'm determined to go back to China for the next one. At least we'll have a lot of food tonight (jiaozi, dapan ji, mala niurou, and whatever else my wife has planned).

Here's a New Year greeting from the Chairman: http://longlivemao.blogspot.com/2010/02/tyger.html

Happy New Year!!!!
 

Let me see... If I am getting this correctly, we're supposed to cook a tiger or something.

That's why last year was better, ox is tastier and no, tiger doesn't taste like chicken.

I just spent the last hour and a half outside blowing up a small part of this country. Gotta love it, right in the middle of the street.

BTW, now I'm both blinded and deaf

I think I burned my apartment down.


No, never mind. It wasn't mine.


新年好!

Happy New Year! Don't  celebrate too much!

Happy New Year! Give me money.
