I remember last year, I was in Shenzhen. After my performance, I immediately went for a swim in the hotel I was staying. The life guard obviously did not know who I was. " Hi, Why aren't you home for the new year?" "I have to work." "oh.....ok. Then why aren't you watching the New Year's program? It is a very important event here." "....." I figured if I told him I just finished performing, it would lead to a barage of questions. So I just feigned disinterest. As much as I hate to work during Christmas, New Year, Birthdays.....it was a very unforgettable experience in China. You could tell the importance of the event when the number of dancers is bigger than the number of audience, when the stage is bigger than the seating capacity, when there are all sorts of people from around the world to participate, when the recorded program is aired every single day for 1 week. Still,I would rather be home.....sleeping till noon, waking up for lunch and newspaper, then sleeping till tea time, waking up for dinner and gathering of friends or relatives. I love the chinese new year celebration. The new bed sheets, pyjamas, bottles of pineapple tarts, chocolate, red packets, crates of oranges, 'gong xi fa cai', little children, little children gambling for that extra $2 pocket money and disheartened faces when their cards are lousy, etc etc. It's so festive. I love holidays. I LOVE HAVING TIME OFF. I LOVE NOT DOING ANYTHING. Don't get me wrong, I love my job. But right now, I'm happy where I am. Have a very happy new year, and may all of you have a smashing year! (PS: I do not have my password for yanzi.com.tw Please post this message on that board on my behalf. Thank you.)
