Last Day of CNY (I think)

Guess what day is today? The last day of the Chinese New Year celebration! At least I think it is. That's what my mom told me.

I posted other entries about Chinese New Year, right? So if you don't really understand much about it, just look there or search in Google.

Today, I think that our house is going to have many visitors (maybe 10 or 11). All of those visitors are part of my family, on my mom's side, since many of my mom's old relatives moved here a long time ago. It's my second time seeing them, I met them in October (I think). They are probably coming again tonight for dinner because today is the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration, and everyone's coming together to celebrate. Right now it's about... 2:30 PM so there's still a long time left, so I'm looking forward to it (kind of).

There's even a special food eaten today, called "Yuan Xiao". It's just a small ball of a sweet Chinese paste, something like red bean paste or sesame seed paste, covered in sticky rice flour, and then put in soup or deep fried. I really like this food, and we're making it today. Yay! :-) I'm not so sure that you'll like it, though. ;-)

Okay, now, it's... 2:40 PM. I'll update you again when the visitors go home. It'll be weird having so many people here!

Until then... So long!
