Counting down for the CNE main site

by lawrence

As someone grew up in one of the major cities of mainland China, I can assure you that the Spring Festival (Chinese new year according to the lunar calendar) is getting less significant every year. The world is flat and the mood and ritualism of the festival have been “flattened” into the average days, as a result, holidays and festivals are diluted. It’s the eve of Spring Festival, after the dinner at my parent’s house I went back home for 2 reasons:

1. To escape the collective madness of CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala. (Have no idea what it is? Never mind, you don’t want to know.)

2. Get some work done and make sure that the Chinese New Ear main site can be online tomorrow. Yes, that’s right, you’ll be able to see the notoriously-delayed site within 20 hours.

Oops! Can’t forget that: Gung Hei Fat Choi! Happy Dog’s Year!!!!
