Going to China for Chinese New Year
2014-01-24
Sunday, weather-permitting, I'm leaving for Guangzhou to see my lovergirl. We'll stay there a couple days, then hop on the train to Xiangyang, Hubei. That will be a harrowing experience for a westerner, everyone tells me. Maybe not though, since I've heard it so many times now? Anyone here from that city? If so, I would like to meet you. I'm a friendly guy, always looking to meet new friends. However, last time I went to China and wanted to try to meet up with a Chinese friend on the internet, my Ivy was quite mad that I would even suggest spending any of OUR time with someone else. She's quite extreme, really. She said: "Oh, OK. Will you have any time left for ME!!?? >:( ) Wow!
We will spend about a week there with her family. She couldn't get a direct ticket home, so we will go via Wuhan instead.
Now, I will go and write a Hong Bao for her son, and one for her daughter's child.
If you want to see some pictures of a Chinese family with a white guy who looks really out-of-place, then you will be in for some luck in a few weeks. ;)
You know, BellaJiang, I was ready for the huge crowds of people. I was just not ready for their selfishness. They are willing to push and cut just to get one person ahead in line. :(
Do you enjoy the China Spring Festvial?Maybe Chunyun impressed you much ,so many people and crowded.
xiangyang is very historical city. Many towering figures in Chinese history were from that areas. It is also a well-known battle field for its strategic location. I am sure you will hear a load of those stories during your trip. Hope you will have a good time there.
