Thank you, friend.
I do not follow it but my mother does.
Who knows, maybe I'll start following it too...

***** NOT A TEACHER *****

Just a gentle and humble note that besides our dear Chinese members, other

Asian members also celebrate the Lunar New Year. I suspect that they would

express this event in their own language, not "Kung hei fat choi [Cantonese]"

or "Gong xi fa cai [Mandarin]." To make things even more complex, some Mandarin

speakers (in Taiwan, for example) would spell some of those words in "Gong xi fa cai"

in a different way. I think (think) that "xi" would become "hsi," etc.

Anyway, Happy New Year!
