HI! Just wondering if your schools have various stuff that they do for Chinese New Year? Any celebrations, parties, lion dances, etc.
We are doing a Lion Dance at Jacksonville, Oregons Chinese New Year Celebration. Should be pretty cool! But, I am just curious what everyone else is doing as well!
~Wen~
I’m treating it as a regular day, since that’s what it is in this country 
Always the smart@ss, aren’t ya??
It’s what I do
I’m getting wasted:) Wait, I did that last night too… Hmmmm, I should probably go stand in the horse stance or hit the phone book on my wall. ****.
Our school normally does lion dance. We also usually have a quick bite after class - sifu’s wife usually whips up something :).
My family will do what normally gets done at Chinese New Year - eating
chinese new year
Demo at chinese garden party.
Darling Harbour Chinese Gardens
We are doing a great big multicultural excibition down at the darling harbour Chinese Gardens. My sifu has organised it but there will be many cultures there all showing off there stuff.
Food, drink, dance, kung fu, lion dance and many other things.
Everyone is welcome and its on the 16th of Feburary so if anyone is in Australia at this time please pop on down.
You only have to pay the entrance fee for the chinese gardens so its dirt cheap too:D
As Yuan Tan is my birthday i will probly start the whole week of by gettin ****ed up real good, then i’ll probly do the same on wed, thurs, fri. Fu(k it im just going to get mortal every day.
You can’t ever say p1ssed for ****s sake
I’m ethnic hardscrabble Taiwanese and was raised in a way that placed work above all else in life (including life itself), so I DON’T celebrate Chinese New Years or any other holiday.
Every day is a holiday to me.
But when I open my school, I’ll try to think of something for my AMERICAN students. Some of the folks I know who’ll be joining are going to make my life miserable if I DON’T do it!
Lay Chi hunting.
Going to see a Chinese opera, some demos, some lion dances in the afternoon, then shirfu an myself are going to do a demo somewhere else, don’t really know all the details yet.
I’ll be trying my upmost to act like an ignorant Westerner.
is the chinese new year when u guys eat moon caces? that sounds delicious from what Ive heard
I’ll Be stuck on an oil rig in the Norwegian part of the North sea, Lashed by 70 MPH winds with 10 meter seas.
Oh the joys of working for a living.
Please let those lottery numbers roll in for me !!!
Hope you all have a better Chinese new year than me!!

dunno. maybe get my chinese roommate to whip up some mad shît for dinner and drink some tsingtao. it’s a tuesday, so i’ll be working all day and training all night. i’ll need some fuddha for my buddha when i get home.
We’re going to watch this kung fu movie called Golden Spider and then we’ll go to a chinese restaurant. Can’t do anything else because our lion dance team haven’t even learned to play the drums yet 
Night head down to Yokohama Chinatown and grab some Food.
