Hello everyone! Happy New Year!
It’s Cindy here.
I had been hibernating since the weather was so cold!
I am a southerner and it will take me quite a long time to get used to winter in the UK for sure!
Hope all of you had a nice Christmas and New Year.
It is miserable January now, but there is still something to look forward to.
Yes, as some of you might know already, that is Chinese New Year!
Chinese New Year Day will fall on 26th Jan this year.
And the coming year is OX year.
That’s talk about Chinese New Year and zodiacal horoscopes later.
This email is about some events of celebrating the coming New Year.
The Museum of East Asian Art in Bath is holding some special events for Chinese New Year.
Please check the link below for more details

There will be New Year Door Decorations making on 24th Jan, Lunar New Year Extravaganza on 25th Jan, Lunar New Year Tour on 30th Jan, Chinese Knot making on 31st Jan, and Zodiac Animal Workshop on 1st Feb.
All of them sound very interesting for me!
I am thinking going to the Lunar New Year Extravaganza on 25th Jan, and following a reunion meal in the evening.
Chinese New Year’s Eve is just like Christmas time in the UK.
It’s for families to gather together for a nice meal and catch up.
As all my families are in the other side of the world, I would like to have a meal with my students in Bristol.
If you are free to join me on 25th Jan, please let me know so I can book a table soon.
I haven’t decided which restaurant to go yet, so if you have any good venues to recommend, please let me know.
I will introduce you more customs about Chinese New Year later on.
The Museum of East Asian Art in Bath also holds Mahjong Club!
If you are interested in this ancient, entertaining and fun Chinese game, please give it a try!
I personally just learnt how to play the game, and I very much enjoy it!
As I don’t drive and Bath is a bit distant from me, otherwise I will go for sure.
Please reply me if you want to join my trip to Bath on 25th Jan and the meal in the evening.
You are welcome to bring friends who are interested in Chinese talks or simply want to enjoy Chinese meals.
Look forward seeing you soon.
If you wish not to receive my Chinese Talk email, please let me know.
I will take you off my email list.

Cindy
