Questions
What do you serve for Lunar New Year?
Whole fish for abundance, dumplings for wealth, and long noodles for longevity. The reunion dinner on the eve is the main meal.
How much do you put in a red envelope?
Even amounts in new notes, avoiding the number four. Local convention on amount matters more than any rule.
