This is the first day of Chinese New Year, I think most Chinese are busy celebrating this big festival.
I have gone back to my hometown, where I hardly can connect to Internet, so I will be away from myLot for about a week. I usually follow my parents to visit my relatives on the first day of Chinese New Year, and also this is my first Chinese New Year after married. As I am 9 month pregnant now, and I do not feel comfortable to travel so much to visit the relatives, thus I just stay at home only. I am back to my mum's house now, and finally I can connect to Internet, so I just come to visit myLot. 
Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!!

Well ,when I read your topic ,the holiday will be over in a day.I am also very happy ,enjoying the traditional festival with my family and relatives.But unluckily,it is quite difficult for many of us to return to our hometown and our work place.The tickets are quite difficult to buy.If these problems are resolved ,I think we will be much happier enjoying our holidays.

Hi there, thanks for your response.
Yeah, I understand it's very difficult to get tickets during the festival periods, last time I always needed to buy the tickets much earlier before the festival. Luckily, my office always allowed us to take leave before the festival, so we can plan the holiday earlier.

As you can see, I am not as very active as the past days. Because right now it's the Chinese New Year:) I need to relax myself and enjoy good time with my family. Everything will be slow down. I just want to squeeze a little bit time here. I hope you will have an adorable and healthy baby this year:) By the way, this year it seems more of my friends are pregnant:)
I love China

Happy Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai 
That's always nice to be back to our hometown. I will never get such a luxurious chance. I live in my hometown In my country also many activities celebrating this event. It is raining now so I prefer to watch them on TV. It is said that raining on the Chinese New Year is good sign, bringing us prosperity. I don't know. For me, to rain and not to rain is always a good sign.
Happy waiting for your baby as well :)

Hi there, thanks for your response.
Yeah, it's always nice to go back to hometown, but it's even nicer if you stay in your hometown always, right?
Usually it's very hot and sunny day during Chinese New Year in my country, but this year, it's been always raining. I do not know if it's a good sign or not, but I think it's good as we don't feel that hot.

Hi, kaka
Happy New Year!
I'm not Chinese but there are a lot of Chinese here in our place. They give away mooncakes and other Chinese delicacies. Chinatown looks bright and we are anticipating some fireworks. I guess I can say that we celebrate Chinese New Year too!

Hi there, thanks for your response.
You mean the Chinese over your place give away moon cakes too? Usually we have moon cakes for another Chinese festival. I think it'd be fun if you go to China town, even though you are not Chinese.

Happy Chinese New Year!
Well, I have hardly any relatives in Canada so we don't really celebrate it here. But it's always a big deal for my relatives in China. They eat and party a lot, and pretty much everyone comes home to celebrate.
