Also, FWIW, the Chinese don't distinguish between 'ox' and 'cow', so this actually is the year of the cow too -- and by your reckoning, people should have been eating lots of beef too! ;D<BR/><BR/>Hi Isaiah --<BR/><BR/>Thank you, and happy new year of the ox to you YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-5323696630100093602009-01-30T23:07:00.000+08:002009-01-30T23:07:00.000+08:00YTSL, happy ox year to you.YTSL, happy ox year to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-28523659653495927362009-01-30T06:50:00.000+08:002009-01-30T06:50:00.000+08:00Did people serve ox tail soup for the celebration?...Did people serve ox tail soup for the celebration?https://www.blogger.com/profile/03037704048671379868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-67286826551674234792009-01-28T23:36:00.000+08:002009-01-28T23:36:00.000+08:00Hi Glenn and Jason --Thanks, and happy new year of...Hi Glenn and Jason --<BR/><BR/>Thanks, and happy new year of the ox to the both of you too! :)<BR/><BR/>Hi sbk --<BR/><BR/>If you're wondering, I *have* seen men in red (ski-type) jackets over the last few years. Or wearing red scarves. But, yeah, for the most part, they do tend to favor way somber colours and dress down compared to women as well as children! ;)YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-84001407898004020392009-01-28T18:03:00.000+08:002009-01-28T18:03:00.000+08:00ytsl,Wonderful photo of the family from the back. ...ytsl,<BR/><BR/>Wonderful photo of the family from the back.
