CNY Traditions

We rang in Chinese New Year with hot pot at my parents' place. The Quatchis received lai sees (red pockets) and M&Ms from my mom. After dinner, we watched the Olympics. Figure skating is our favourite sport for the winter games.

Wishing you good fortune in the Year of the Dog!

多謝 Ma for the lai see!

We're one week into the Year of the Sheep and so far, so good!

Happy New Year!

2013 was pretty good to us, although there were some ups and downs. 2014...2014 is going to be awesome. We are going to make every day count, and look forward to blogging about our adventures along the way.

Cheers to 2014!

On Chinese New Year, Q received a lai see ("lucky money") from my mum.

Insider were two very special quarters: one of a hockey player and one of an alpine skiier. To learn more about these coins and others dedicated to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, check out the Royal Canadian Mint's website. If you find any in your spare change, let us know!
