Yesterday
we celebrated Chinese New Year, the year of the snake. Around Edmonton
there were many public celebrations with traditional dragon dances and drumming.
It is an annual
tradition for a group of us to get together at a local restaurant for Dim Sum (Yum
Cha in Australia). Since my daughters
are part Chinese I always like to wear my Chinese blouse and jade jewellery and
give everyone a red envelope with lucky money inside. I arrived early to get a table and as I put out the envelopes the Maitre
d’ expressed her pleasure at my knowledge of the Chinese customs.
If only I was able to speak the language!
