What a lame thread: European/American is not an ethnicity.  |
Fa real. My ethnicity is "other". 
On Topic: I'm not Chinese, but I wish all the celebrators a Happy New Year. Today my cousin and aunt are taking me to the Chinese New Year Festival that is held every year in Toronto. I've never been so I'm excited.

Gung Hay Fat Choy!
The Lunar New Year dates from 2600 BC, when the Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
Because of cyclical lunar dating, the first day of the year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February. On the Chinese calendar, 2007 is Lunar Year 4704-4705. On the Western calendar, the start of the New Year falls on February 18, 2007 — The Year of the Pig.
If you were born in 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983 or 1995 - you were born under the sign of the pig. Like the pig, you are highly regarded for your chilvary and pureness of heart, and you often make friends for life. For pigs in 2007, any recent setbacks or obstacles can be overcome so look forward to a year in which to really shine, either personally or professionally.
Happy New Year! 
Famous people born in the Year Of The Pig include Lucille Ball, Humphrey Bogart, Thomas Jefferson, Ernest Hemingway, Alfred Hitchcock, Mahalia Jackson, David Letterman, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
(edited to say it could also be called Year of the Boar or Ding Hai)

I went to the Chinese New Year Festival in Toronto last evening. It was a blast! The entertainment was verra good and the stalls were great. I ended up buying a bag, a phone charm, and a soup bowl. They had loads of stuff and loads of food!
They had food stalls everywhere, and not just Chinese food, but Korean, Vietamese (sp?), and Japanese. The Japanese stall only had one dish: Takoyuaki! I ordered a pack (6 pcs) just because everyone is raving about them here. First time eating octopus and I LOVED it! Mind you, I can only eat two, and then had to force myself to eat a third. But the first time I popped it into my mouth it was yummy. And not at all the way I expected it to taste.
After the festival we went to Chinatown, but only the restaurants were open at that hour. All-in-all I had a blast! I entered a photo-draw, and I hope I win. The photographs were amazing. _________________
