2nd Day of the Rabbit Chinese New Year

Dear all friends of mine,
-
The year of 2011 is the Year of the Golden Rabbit, which began on the first day of the first month in the traditional Chinese calendar and will end with lantern festival (年宵) which is on the 15th day. To all Chinese people, CNY (Chinese New Year) is the most important, celebration activities in Hong Kong are absolutely attractive and amazing, such as a must for a display of fireworks over the Victoria Harbor on the 2nd day of the CNY, a colorful vehicle show on the first day of the Spring Festival, and plus plenty of other attractions.
-
Like all Chinese, our family spent more money on festive foods, presents and new clothing as to celebrate the coming New Year, we showed some red color couplets with popular themes of happiness, wealth and longevity everywhere in the house, and posted some festive wordings on the vase.
-







Of course, ………we adhered as well a festive word in Chinese “福” on the tortoises’ carapace (For touching lucky of the year 五福臨門, see below photo) in the manner of same doing we made last year.

-
On the 2nd day of it, we were enjoying with family the CNY catering (新春盆菜)of which we had ordered from Café De Coral while watching at home the fabulous fireworks on the TV. The delicious catering included 16 necessary stuff as pork, chicken, abalone, oyster, poulp, shrimp, turnip, pig skin.etc. Definitely, it was so delicious!

Happy New Year
