Silly superstition stuff. 4 sounds like the word death in Chinese. 8 is similar to the character for prosperity. 9 is similar to longevity. That's just about it. Even numbers are usually preferred over odd, too. 9 and 4 are exceptions. I don't know much about the other numbers though.

Yep! CNY is ridiculously busy for my fam.. on certain days we have to stay up till 3 just to pray, on certain days we have to visit the temple, on certain days we have to specifically cook a number of dishes @_@ Today was the last day, actually....

Tomorrow is a leap year! We get to live an "extra" day! How will you spend it?

I heard there are supposed to be some great travel deals on the 29th,

[JinMay]

Well the 29th is a Monday, I have classes so yeah I'll be in college. xD
Interesting fact about me, I was born on 1992 which just so happened to be a leap year. lol

[Lemon Cheesecake]

That is interesting!

My dad's cousins husband is a leap year baby...

I wonder how the Chinese Calendar incorporates the leap year

[JinMay]

Heheh I didn't know about that until a few months ago.
Really? So neat! o u o
Hmm, I'm not sure. That's an interesting question though.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I guess I can google it... : )

[JinMay]

Oh yeah, Google always tends to have all the answers. lol
