At 12:01am on February 18, 2007 the Chinese World will usher in the Year of The Pig (some translations say "The Year of the Boar"). At that point the year 4705 will begin on the Chinese calendar.
Huh...Today all my chinese friend will celebrate their big festival, Chinese New Year. So, for all visitor's of my website who's chinese. I just wanna wish all of you Gong Xi Fa Choi!!!... Hope this year better than previous year and let pray so that this year world be more peaceful especially at Iraq & Palestine.
Chinese New Year is the most important holiday of the year for the Chinese. The Chinese will settle all the debts they can, buy oranges for good luck and kumquat trees to decorate their homes, and clean the house. There will be a family feast, and the older people will give little red packets of luck money (ang paus) to the youngsters. Usually there is a parade, including lion and dragon dances, stilt walkers, floats and acrobats. And there is noise: fireworks at midnight, gongs, drums and cymbals at the parade.
