I had a wonderful time celebrating Chinese new year, 2011 yesterday( Feb 6th) with Can and all his family members.
We went to a Chinese restaurant.The restaurant is surrounded with Chinese stores. There were a lot of people lining up to get a table. I learned two Chinese phrases - "How are you today" and "Thank you". When I greeted Can's mom in Chinese, she was so surprised!
We ate many different kinds of Chinese food. Among them duck bake (or roosted) and meat fried with salad were the best tasting. They were also Ayan favorite foods.
I recalled what my father used to tell me about the origin of Chin people in Myanmar. Chin and Kachin people in Myanmar are real brothers. Their place of origin is said to be from China. They were descendants of the Chin Dynasty in Chinese hostory.
Big thanks to everyone in Can's family. I really enjoye and appreciated their new year.
Again! Happy New Year to all!
