Chinese New Year 2011

I don't think the new year starts until the Chinese New Year. I really miss the Chinese New Year celebration in China. I haven't experienced it for almost 10 years since I moved to the US in 2001. I miss my family and relatives, the lucky money, the food, the flower and the flower market, and of course the fireworks and firecrackers. Besides, we celebrate the new year for 15 days!

This year, the Chinese New Year is on February 3rd. I hope everyone

一帆风顺 (Smooth)
二龙腾飞
三羊开泰
四季平安 (safe)
五福临门 (blessing)
六六大顺 (smooth)
七星高照
八方来财
九九同心
十全十美
百事亨通
千事吉祥
万事如意！

(Each greeting starts with a number, including one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand. However, I don't know how to translate all these Chinese New Year greetings.)

I hope I have a new start in the new year, travel to new places (Tibet, Xinjiang, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Shaolin Temple), and eat authentic Chinese food such as 钟水饺, 夫妻肺片, Sichuan hotpot, Hainan chicken, 冬瓜烫，汤包，etc.
