I was born in " Hu Nian"( Tiger Year). If you and Lei have a "little Hu Baby". I (the big Hu) would like to visit your and the baby. : ) Best Kathy&David
I have a friend who was born in "Hu Nian" as is her mother-in-law. She tells me it can sometimes make for "bumpy" family reunions. Maybe a confirmation of Sp1key comment ;)? Just kidding.
Happy New Year!

PS: It looks like Xiaguan (the favorite liquid tobacco purveyor of this blog =)!) has released a cake and a tuo to mark the occasion =D!
True, however I am disappointed that they did not issue a commemorative cake or tuo in recognition of the successful completion of your DPhil. I am surprised El Presidente of the XG fan club (Tony Shlongini) has not issued a formal complaint! Without the Half-Dipper, their sales to the West would represent only 0.001% instead of 0.005% of their total revenue ;)!
My guess, the flavour would be tobacco-like with a scorching mouth and throat feel, as if delivered by the claws of a tiger :)!
Hi Lei & David,
ReplyDeleteWe both wish you and your family 春節快樂，心想事成，虎年吉祥！
Kathy & David
Thanks! Same to you. They say that "Hu Nian" is a good year for children, no? :)
ReplyDeleteNice handwriting Hobbes, Wish you and your family a Happy Chinese New Year.
ReplyDeleteEvery year is a good year for kids! =) apparently 'hu nian' isn't a good year for marriage though.
Best,
Kenny

Dear Kenny,
ReplyDeleteThe handwriting is, in fact, that of our neighbour's five-year-old (English!) children - not bad at all!
Dear Kathy,
I'm a dragon, Lei is a "little dragon". :)
You are always welcome!
Toodlepip,

Dear TGY,
ReplyDeleteXiaguan... no bandwagon too small to jump on, no opportunity too flimsy, no occassion too tenuous to celebrate. :)
I can almost guess what the Tiger-Year Tea tastes like!
