CNY is coming to town...

just 3 more days... CNY is coming to town... according to chinese calendar... it (2005) gonna be the year of rooster...

tonite i went to the flower market in causeway bay... well~~~ already "ppl mountain ppl sea"... the streets are crowded as well... and shops are all in their "final sales" stage (from 20% to 50% off)... money are flying away... $$$less, BAD...

starting from the coming wed, we will enjoy our 5-day CNY holiday (including sat & sun) in hong kong ... my friends in canada, don't be jealous... hehe...

hong kong's CNY holiday is the shortest among the three main chinese areas... taiwan ppl will have a week of holidays (woh~)... and, indeed, the mainlanders will have almost two / three weeks (woh~ woh~ woh~)... since they need to travel for days and nights to get back their home... so very likely that they would have used half of the holidays on the road...

i will be spending 3 days in shaoguan (northern part of the guangdong province) with my mum... then will have usual family gatherings during the rest of the CNY holiday... and the key is - to get red pockets from relatives... hehe...

btw, my trip to taiwan is confirmed... leaving on the 18 morning and returning on the 21 evening... the air ticket only costs 980 + tax (371)... a good deal, rite?
