chinese people are homosex

weeeeeeew

dude

Chinese girls are the reason to live. Chinese girls are the reason that I wake up in the morning and do my best to be a successful and functioning member of society

@transience no offense

I'm not offended at all tbh

I just pretend women don't exist

I prefer to focus on myself for now and sort that out later

Problem: chink is unhappy that she can't visit her family for CNY because she has exams. Should I:

a) surprise her with taking her to a Chinese social event nearby that has some weird concerts on CNY night, one of the singer is even Taiwanese

b) invite some of her chink friends who can't go back either, to our home, cook altogether and have a CNY stlye dinner here

or another suggestion?

give her a red packet

yes that, too

chink should be happy with money

that's all you need

I have a few Taiwan dollar left from last holiday and I will give it to her with some of those weird envelopes from the China shop

b + red packet

do taiwan celebrate chinese new year?

who else celebrate chinese new year except chinks

Korea

if you mean the lunar new year, then I think viets celebrate it too

thank you for the input

I will invite her friends + red packet

So for mainland Chinese New year traditions there aren't many. Pop fireworks, eat a lot of food, give money to kids in red envelopes

Invite people over to eat. Watch the new years gala on Chinese tv (there are online live streams)

You pretty much spend a whole week never leaving home. Stock up on food before hand

Put up a bunch of red shit outside your front door

Stuff that says lucky and money etc.

Hang some Chinese characters upside down on the walls

Boom chinese new year

ye but if you put it like that, that's every holiday

>christmas: pop fireworks, eat a lot of food, give money to kids

@kaetaa you can replace Chinese New Year with Christmas and fine-tune it a little bit and it would work, too

It’s pretty funny actually

See Christmas is basically a party because it might be the last time you see parents/grandparents before the real cold sets in

And it was a historic time for them to die

China does it later in the year because they wouldn’t have to feed those people in a feast

That got grim pretty fast

they rather celebrate that the old people are halfway through the critical time

Yeah there's not much cultural stuff with Chinese New year, it's just a standard holiday to see family.
