February 6, 200521 yr Well, its gonna hit us this coming Wednesday. We have a 2-day holiday here in Singapore, and most of us students are gonna skip class on friday - so school's out till next monday! (not to mention that this Tuesday is officially declared a "half-day" where everyone only works till lunchtime :D ) Do you celebrate it in your country? How is it celebrated? ah, of course, to all who can read chinese in this community: 我祝大家： 恭喜发财、万事如意、身体健康、龙马精神！ which roughly means... may you win the lottery, may all your wishes come true (all 10,000 of 'em), wishing you good health, and a vigorous and exuberant spirit (of dragons and horses) ... my... it sounds so weird in english... hahahahaha...
February 6, 200521 yr here in brazil, some communities of chinese people celebrate, but its not an official party, of course.
February 7, 200521 yr same than in Brazil; some people celebrate it, but it's not an official thing. The goverment offers a dinner to the Chinese community and there are chinese neighbourhoods, so they do stuff but not non workign days or so. You do get free days for the Jewish New year, Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur and you also get permission for Ramalah and that's it. No more special permission (without counting all the Catholics religious feasts)
February 7, 200521 yr we go to Panda Express. hahah no. but that'd be cool if we did go there tonight
