Happy Chinese New Year everyone....the year of the horse has begun. Yesterday we attended a huge banquet in China Town, Boston, with other hosting families, students, members of school faculty and Eduboston staff. Paul flew in from Holland just in time after spending 2 weeks away from home.
Snow and some of her dance team did the fan dance despite being full of a cold, plus there was the traditional dragon dance that is often performed at New Year.
It is traditional for older people to give red adourned envelopes containing money to younger family members. There was a drawing for 30 or so of these and Erin and Snow got lucky, but not me. I'm lucky in love, unlucky in life!
We all had a great time, but for me, I really enjoyed meeting other host families and sharing experiences with them. Chinese New Year celebrations actually lasts for 15 days so there's a good excuse(if you ever needed one) to go out and party!
Good friends - Jenny, Cici and Snow
