Q: Seems to me to be the biggest night of the year in China. Who are you spending it with?
Chinese New Year's Eve. Surely the biggest night of the year for Chinese people. So, who are you spending it with?
Anyone Chinese? If so, are you having fun? Doing what?
If not, why not?
Secondary question; Where's the best place to spend CNY?
Spent it with my wife and kids.
We just sat there using our phones and watching tv. And I was working late.
Go us. We're so exciting.
with the family watching the beijing show, since i dont understand any or it, i sneak to the computer for solitude.
Sad to say I had to return to Hebei to look after my dogs.
I'm on my own.
Sucks.
I miss my girlfriend and her family. We were really gutted that I had to cut the trip short.
In the future I'll bring them with me.
royceH:
The dogs? To Hunan? On no matey...not unless you've decided to share them with others. With, say, a decent chianti.....
laowaigentleman:
Hahaha, I needed to hear that!
Actually I went to a market in Hunan and they had skinned dogs up on the rack.
Good advice. One of mine is a chow chow so I'd imagine there'd be a few locals licking their chops at the prospect of chowing down on a chow chow.

Something's telling me, Royce recently downloaded 'Silence of the Lambs'....
laowaigentleman:
It puts the lotion in the bucket then puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again 
icnif77:
Sinobear used that line once as an A to the OP, who was asking about skin cream care or similar.
After an explanation on origins of his quote, she never came back.
royceH:
I haven't seen the film for a long time but I'd like to.
I can remember the shock of hearing that sweet young police lady use the c word as if is was yesterday. But in fact I think it was in the cinemas around 1993.
Too long ago for most of you whippersnappers.

'I ate his liver with some fava beans, and nice chianti....'
best place to spend CNY?
dinner @ Morton's - The Steakhouse
drinks @ Ozone IFC watching fireworks over Victoria Harbour
After a day of doing nothing all day I managed an hour with my favourite barmaid. She opened up just for me 
Luckily, she has no wifi in her apartment so she opened the bar to skype her family using the bar wifi...
coineineagh:
oh, she opened up just for you, did she? you must've had a grand time! happy new year happy time.
ScotsAlan:
Ha ha. No
Her family have gone on holiday so she has nobody to go home to see. So she opens the bar for me.
Put simply, she is as bored as everyone else 
3 days of doing nothing, eating, and more doing nothing. While freezing our asses indoor. Ok, sometime I manage to escape and do some coding on the computer. Tomorrow, we go in the armpit of Jiangsu, I can't bring my laptop, toilets will be a dirty bucket in a smelly shack... 3 days of even more nothing. I will bring my ukulele, but I might be forbidden to practice because "it's weird". I love CNY, it's like slow bullying.
royceH:
Haahahaha....yes. There ought to be a law against it.....in fact, there probably is..just... not enforced. The police are very very busy, very very tired.
Anyhow....the ukulele! Gotta tell you Dr...my granddaughter (5) last week asked her Mummy if she could join the Junior Band and learn the.....the.....yes, THE UKULELE!
Zhenda!
Her Mum sent me an email and asked me what I thought...
I told her to go for it... as the ukulele is all the rage in China! (b/c of you.)
I spent last night with my wife, step-mother & her partner in an Indian restaurant.....in Manchester. Today we fly to Venice
royceH:
Hahaha....good job! I'm going to Kashgar tomorrow and I'm told there is a Pakistani rstrnt there. If true, it'll do.
Sounds like some convoluted family tree there. That's good.
Have fun, bastard.
