			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well whilst romantic Westerners preoccupy themselves with St. Valentine&#8217;s Day, the Chinese are celebrating the start of the New Year so here&#8217;s a card and a message for the Year of the Tiger:</p>

<p>Typically Chinese families gather on New Year&#8217;s Eve and have a family feast; the Chinese need little encouragement to cook, eat, converse, wish each other fortuity and enjoy ourselves &#8212; LOL. Amongst the dozen or so delicacies served at the family meal, the centerpiece is always&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.the fish (our two were braised with shallots whose homophone in Chinese has links with &#8220;smartness / intelligence&#8221; &#8212; what a language, hmmn (?) when even shallots have semantic meanings, LOL):</p>

<p>Anyway, I wish everyone a &#8220;新年快樂!&#8221;</p>
