I'm a headfier from China!

[Ericlee2005]

Hi everyone! Today is Spring Festival which is the biggest holiday in China! I am in Tianjin and I hope I could express myself well but my English is poor. I will talk to you later!

...And another hello from Down Under.

 

[Ericlee2005]

Thanks, it is so nice of you. I plan to buy an ER4P after the holidays. The price of it is around $240. Is it reasonable?

There are also many headfi fans like me in China and we have founded a forum like this, named "ER JI DA JIA TAN". www.erji.net It has English version for sure.

Welcome!

I failed Mandarin in college here in the U.S.A., I'm an American born Chinese but I do know that you are asking How are you? And the last part Happy New Year. I speak Thaisanese, I can't read nor write chinese but I can understand and speak Thaisanese fairly well.

Gor Hao, hun hao? sha sha knee, sorry for my spelling, spelling it phoenetically and Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Well you must be young and unmarried??? Because you only receive red envelopes if you're either child or a young person and unmarried. I'm married so I give out the red envelopes. You also get bigger $$$ red envelopes usually from your parents and real close relatives and smaller red envelopes like $1, $5 from close friends of your parents.

Things you don't do on Chinese New Years, swear, say ill and bad things to other people, don't clean the house, like sweeping or vacuuming (you'll sweep away all your Good Luck), don't wash your hair today (again your Good Luck will go down the drain), you can take a bath/shower however. Eat, drink and be merry with family and friends.

Thing you do on Chinese New Years:

Set off some firecrackers, chases away the evil spirits.

Gamble, not sure of the significance, Asians are gamblers by blood anyways

Spend your red envelopes on anything you want


Woohoo Happy New Year!!!

LOL... you can say that again.

I have a friend who's from Tianjin, and she actually just came back from there recently... and I *almost* went to Tianjin when I was in China over the winter break. Welcome.

祝大家心想事成，万事如意，学业有成，财源广进，合家欢乐，新年快乐!
