This year I decided to celebrate the Chinese New Year!
I started out by reading about all their new year customs at
the chinesenewyear.net website and found out about some things that are lucky
and not what they eat to celebrate and where certain people are supposed to sit. I also read about the year of animals I’m a
dragon and this year is the year of the Ox.
Last year and this year I ordered some Legos, and they came with a free year of the rat set 2020 and a Free year of the ox set 2021. So, I had to make sure to Build the Rat on New Year’s Eve since it was the last day of the year.
On New Year’s Eve we also ordered Chinese food from a local restaurant Asian Pearl Bistro.
We
ordered various Chinese dishes including egg drop soup, kung pao chicken, chicken
lo mein, chicken with snow peas, with fried rice and some dumplings which are
something special they traditionally eat for New Year’s. Most of the food was pretty good and we had a
good variety of food.
With our order came a couple of red envelopes that were just supposed to be for dine in only, but they were in our delivered box. Each one contained a dollar bill which is a traditional thing to give as gifts in china
We ordered too much food, so we had plenty of leftovers the
next day
Then a few days later I watched a virtual tour of the great
wall of china. The video I found on YouTube
was a 30-minute video that was someone’s video that they took while walking
along the wall.
This was really neat to see. I liked when they turned around and you could
see how far you’ve come and see how long and high the wall is. The little indoor places and towers were
interesting with the arched doors and windows.
I liked seeing out from the wall, seeing the trees and mountains
although it was a bit foggy in the video.
Reading about Chinese new year traditions, building the Lego
sets, having Chinese food and taking a virtual tour of the Great wall made for
a great adventure that I really enjoyed.
fun and interesting
