An Early Chinese New Year

For the third year in a row, I will be spending Chinese New Year in soggy England. That's yet another year without red packets and without all the traditional New Year dishes - with the exception of Yee sang. Mum took pity on me and made yee sang for me tonight which is a chinese salad with raw salmon on top. Before you start eating everyone mixes it up with their chopsticks and says 'Lo Hei'. Its some type of good luck and prosperity thing, and kinda fun too.
