One Chinese New Year, we tossed a mix of vegetables and other ingredients, a ritual known as Yee Sang, and were asked to say our wishes out loud. Most of us wished for the ouster of a president. A few days after, the wish was granted.
Chinese New Year is a holiday I really enjoy. Part of the thrill is a visit to Binondo, Manila. No matter how frequently I go, this oldest Chinatown in the world never ceases to excite me.
I love the Chinese. They are so rich in character and culture. Just like their food, they seem simple but are in fact full of layers and hidden treasures.
The first time I traveled to Paris, it took about 26 hours with five or six stops to get to the destination. Very tiring.
