We are entering the year of the rabbit. No special celebrations in the city yesterday, except the fireworks, it's a real family celebration. Taipei had even turned ghost town, almost all restaurants and shops were closed. They will remain at least 3 days. Do not expect either to parades and dragon dances like you see in the Chinatowns, it is just a special event for the Chinese diaspora.
Youth will receive red envelopes containing their Christmas bonus (hong bao). They may contain any money, except 400NT, 4 is not a suitable figure in the Chinese tradition. Here is my envelope, donated by the Chinese tutor. A nice attention! It contains 1NT, a symbolic sum lucky, "she told us.
To celebrate, we're going on holiday with a group of Thais. A Saturday!
