Chinese New Year!

Gung Hay Fat Choy!  Sun neen Fai Lauk!  And all the other sayings.  Happy Chinese/Lunar New Years and thank you for those who brought food and everyone else that came to celebrate this auspicious holiday with the club.  We had a potluck with traditional New Years food, played 2 truths 1 lie (ice-breaker game) and got to know each other better, learned a few sayings for Chinese New Year (in Mandarin and Cantonese), and found out our chinese zodiacs and their personalities.

We then started playing around with this little mini prize game that Virginia brought from Taiwan.  It had a lot of toys for kids, but then it had a weird effect on us and we all started to play like little kids.  I was urgently trying to win a pack of Maple Story cards (I don't know why).  It was fun and we enjoyed ourselves in celebration of Chinese New Year.

Next week, we will have scrabble night and and casual conversation night.  So we're going to just chill and possibly have some light refreshments like usual.  Have a great weekend and hope to see everyone again.
