I learned a new phrase in Chinese – shin nian kuai la. It means happy New Year. Now I can say “Shin nian kuai la, sange yutou dangao, ching” – Happy New Year. Three taro cakes, please.
The Chinese New Year is on January 23rd. It’s on a different date every year since they use their own calendar. The holiday lasts until the 25th. If I worked at a bank I’d have all those days off, but I work at a place that gets even more popular during holidays. I’ll be working all the way through.
This will be the year of the dragon. For now it’s still the year of the rabbit.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
