In Western culture, we have New Year's Eve, big night, and then Bang! It's next year. The Chinese are smart enough to realise that, if you're having a good time, why not make it last a whole week! _________________________ I don't get any older.... I just get better!

I lived there for three years in the eighties and it never seemed to end! They say that people would claim another heritage just for the privilege of letting off a big bunch of firecrackers. http://www.hawaiitravelnewsletter.com/articles/hawaii-fireworks.htm I have never seen as many fireworks as I did while living there. _________________________ I was born under a wandering star.

The New Year is just part of it. _________________________ If you see someone without a smile, give him yours.

Our suppliers have been waiting for China to open up again,they have told me that everything work wise there slows right down this time of year. Also many of the people we deal with in Australia are holidaying in China. _________________________ Responds to stimuli, tries to communicate verbally, follows limited commands, laughs or cries in interaction with loved ones.
