izmeinaToday was the big New Year party organized by the Chung Wa association even though it was actually Tuesday when the tiny sliver of a crescent moon made its first appearance
Peppa the pig made countless appearances on many of the little red and gold envelopes sold at the stalls. I asked on stall hall holder what the Chinese people have against green since they use green for the shares that are tanking on the stock exchange and even wanted to have traffic lights with green for stop and red for go. I guess the tourism bureau knocked that one on the head. She told me that green is not an unlucky colour except when worn as a HAT. Sorry. she said and smiled. I says that I should go and get 4444 embroidered on my gorgeous green silk hat and that will scare most of the Chinese people away. Or maybe just 444 as in only two thirds evil
So belated Chinese New Year's greetings to everyone who loves any opportunity to party
David Rowe has been more dedicated to the cause than most folks and has produced an infinite variety of porcine creatures for our amusement
Flying Pigs
Background information.
In Australia, there has been a recent investigation of the major banks and financial institutions and quite a few heads have rolled so far. They were indulging in delightful practices such as Fee for NO service and deducting LIFE INSURANCE premiums from dead people!!!
The present government fought tooth and nail to stop the investigation going ahead and now with a federal election looming, they are in serious damage control mode
Lying Pigs
