Postcard from Florida, USA

Today is the last working day before the ending of Rabbit Year, on the other words, it is the last day I can receive postcards in this year. The holidays will be lasting for 9 days from tomorrow, I do not expect what I can do in Chinese New Year, all I have to do study hard for TOEFL  uh.....and do my work for a project from National Science Council. The feeling for Chinese New Year is getting plain, it is probably because I do not get much gift money put in the red envelops or I become older.

Chinese New Year is a festival that family members unite together to have a dinner, especially on the Eve. My grandfather is used to having the dinner before the sunset on the Eve so I always feel hungry at about 9 pm. We sometimes play Ma-Jiang on the Eve or chat during the night, in our tradition, we have to stay-up until morning for good luck for the coming year.

I like to play Ma-Jiang with my university classmates but not for gamble, we play Ma-Jiang just for fun. It 's a interesting process. I still remember what we had done for our trip to Matsu Archipelago. HAHA~

Oh, that take about what I received today.
It's a  flamingo postcard from Florida, USA. As seeing this card, I recall something interesting in Chinese New Year because red represents festivity in our tradition.
