Day one of holidays: I have eaten my New Year’s meal and ran out of ketchup.

CNY is the worst, all closed.

Not much more to do than have the females make dinner and serve you.

There is an old thread somewhere that someone started that sets out their CNY experiences, added to by another that updated things rather jokingly. It used to get resurrected about this time each year and I have been searching for it but no luck so far…

Its one of those times where the busiest hubs like taipei drain and the most remote areas balloon. Fun in the country side if dont have to work! I imagine lots of bored foreigners up north though.

I dunno … I’ve heard that used to be the case, but I certainly don’t feel much of that in Taipei these days.

Here ya go, from @Duke in 2010, over here:

It’s pretty cool to feel the city winding down. Very relaxing now with the rain.

I love rereading this classic every year!

Myself for CNY? I’m still on my huandao so tonight it’ll probably be 7-11 in Nan’ao (assuming no food places will be open)

Too classy.

How awesome has the pollution levels been in pingdong/kaohsiung lately? Still bad but as per normal, holy blue sky and visible central mountains batman!

Granted it was rain, today it got shitty again, but what a nice start to new years celebrations!

Did you like that?

I could eat the whole bag of those.

While there is luck involved in any form of gambling, there is some skilled involved just like poker. Advance players just seem to know when to give up their hand instead of just going for the win all the time to minimize their chances of losing.

Especially the newspaper.
