Kung hei fat choi!.........HEALTH, HAPPINESS FULFILMENT ........and wealth for Chinese New Year 2011



Well, wealth is important but the others more so I have found.  However, the Chinese are very superstitious about the New Year and mustn't enter it with debts to pay (so employees have to have double pay packets!!!!).  Also they use auspicious symbols at New Year to help the Kitchen god along with his luck for the coming year.  GOLDfish/carp are supposed to help financially. As we could all do with a little financial help, after Christmas, I have posted a picture of the beautiful huge ones at Butterfly World to try and bring some financial luck for us all !!!. I took it whilst doing some research, just before we came back to college last autumn.
