It was Chinese New Year on Sunday and I met up with friends and checked out the fireworks. I also went home to see my parents on Saturday and had some lovely food including some traditionally lucky dishes.
The firework celebrations were quite good – photos now online.
Some facts if you didnt know:
* Its the year of the Pig
* The pig is the last of 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac
* Pigs symbolise good luck, but also turbulence
* 2007 is the year of the fire (golden) pig
* Babies born in Golden Pig years are believed to be particularly lucky
