- "A Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! This is the year of the rooster;
- so anyone born in .. duh.. ( counts on his feelers ) '71, '59, '47, '35,
- this is your year, so do give a crow!"
-
- "One unfortunate thing about staying away from home; you don't get
- these 'red packets' which have money in them. They're given for good
- luck and prosperity.
-
- "Another custom I like is that you're not supposed to clean up your
- place until the 15th day of the Lunar new Year, because that
- 'sweeps outs' the luck that has just arrived."
-
- "So anyway, may you have good fortune and prosper during this coming
- year. Later!!"
