Irish Born Chinese

Happy New Year

IBC Happy New Year

A very big Happy New Year to everyone! I can't believe it's 2018 already. And Chinese New Year is early this year, and it's the year of the Dog. Looking forward to that.

I briefly wrote about my trip to Hong Kong to attend the Da Jiu Festival, a 10-year recurring event at my mom's village called Lam Tsuen. You can read about it here >>>
