    It's been a lot of eating going on here in Hong Kong with several different MASSIVE dinners to attend. Even now I'm still the token white guy at most of them... sheesh where are the other white dudes when you need them!?!? One person can only eat so much duck and so many steamed buns!!! :p

    Yeah man good fun - nice change... time for a prosperous new year!!! This is the year of the rabbit according to the Chinese zodiac... so below I've posted some of the traditional Chinese papercuts of rabbits and well wishing... they are plastered everywhere here in Hong Kong at the moment! :)

    I unfortunately have no idea what this is (unless you're talking about Chinese New Year?!) but if you could send some of the food this way I would be very grateful!

    Yes it is!!! The Chinese New Year is upon us!

    :)

    Happy Chinese New Year to all MAP's non Chinese speakers and non Chinese (heck that includes me!)! You can also get in on the Chinese New Year goodness... when you see older or married Chinese... ask them for a red pocket! This is the ubiquitous red envelope that is passed around at many Chinese holidays and occasions like weddings. Inside is something that all Chinese hold near and dear... MONEY! :)

    Married couples are expected to give them to non married people. Older to younger and bosses to employees. If you play it right at Chinese New Year you can clean up a tidy sum. :)

    Kung Hay Fat Choy to all!

    Thought seriously of heading to Chinatown NYC next weekend to look up the guys and go on parade.It's been a number of years now.

    Hey Slip,try carrying the banner for a school sometime-as one of only maybe two lo faan in the group I was always getting the fireworks tossed right at me from the young Chinese punks. Can't flinch,ya know-just parry and keep on truckin'!

    Do miss those banquets-and the after hours gambling,something I normally never do.

    Me and my Chinese bros just took some of our Swedish mates to traditional Northeastern food. It was fantastic. Hometown food.

    But to everyone else

    Happy New Year to all!

    Unfortunately, we are dealing with the Snowlocaust in this area so I will not be able to do much in honor of the new year until this weekend.

    Cheers (with a Tsingtao).
