Yes, Chinese New Year IS a big thing to me.

"It's Chinese New Year tomorrow. I miss home."

"Oh, are you? Don't you feel great celebrating it here?"

"Nah, not really. Imagine it is Christmas eve and you are alone in an Arabian country - there's no turkey, no carol, NTH. And think about the lovely christmas tree, presents and the family and friends you got back home."

"Ah, that's awful!"

To my family, friends and, especially, all the loners out there,

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR
