Happy
Chinese New Year, dear readers! I was hoping this city gets painted red this
week, for it would give me plenty of reasons to celebrate this auspicious
rebirth of the Snake year. Unfortunately, the Americans could care less, in
fact none of them bothered to wish me, with the exception of the usual “how are
you?” I am not offended either. Not everyone is culture conscious, per se, so I
appreciated it that the few Asian Americans did take the effort to share a
little happiness with me. It is upsetting that I am away from home during this
time of the year, but one has to realize that this sacrifice would be
worthwhile. Eventually, I’ll be moving back closer to home and being alone on
festival days will be but a distant memory. I could use such encouraging
thoughts for now.
Anyway,
here’s to wishing all of you a happy, healthy, wealthy, and awesome new year!
For those of you who are snakies, may it be YOUR year homies!
Red
pau,
