Happy New Year: The year of the pig

Posted by CD | Posted in Sunday's Food | Posted on 02-18-2007 | No Comments »

_42580297_pigs203ap.jpgThe year of the pig has finally arrived.  The Chinese and Vietnamese (Tet) New Year are celebrating in grand style.  The year of the pig is supposed to bring good luck and prosperity. But this time it is a golden pig year, which happens once in six decades.  Vast numbers have been on the move to be with their family for celebrations.  Carnival dragons have been on parade and fireworks have been lighting up the night sky in Beijing and elsewhere.  So make sure you eat lots of dumplings and enjoy.  To all my friends around the world….Happy New Year Chuc mung nam moi!
