Chinese New Year - "education" for foreigners
by AIESEC PolyU

finaly i got to know more about Chinese New Year - and the most interesting is the "fairytale" why chinese people celebrate it, about the cool animal called Lin, why there are red papers with wishes everywhere and also kind of "fake fireworks". I hope i will be able to get this story in English and with pictures so I can post it here.
we also find out what are the main traditions, why there is so many flowers everywhere, why people are giving to each other red pockets, how to make typical "sweets", tasking sugar candies....
and for me the most interesting was calligraphy ! Thats amazing thing...right, very difficult for foreigners, but thanks to alll our "teachers" we managed somehow :)
this afternoon belongs to the best moments in during my stay in HK ! PolyU members, great job !!!
