Chinese new Year :
Hong Kong during Chinese new years is like Halloween without the nasty ghouls and scary things of our imagination. Instead of trick or treating, we wish people good health and prosperity and other things and in turn, get money and then get invited to eat good things like fruit and candy. At Halloween, you get scared and if you don't want to give out candy, you get your house TP-ed. And you don't get the candy or money.

It's been nice in HK for Chinese New years. Welcome year of the monkey. To all you monkeys out there, its your year. It means you're either 12, 24, or 36 or any multiple of 12. But most of my friends out there, you're probably 24. No predictions for you except when you get a lot of money, send some my way.
