Vana dium

@808vandium I miss New York because of the different ethnic holidays that New Yorkers we celebrate I used to go to Little Chinatown with my friends join the season especially with the  lighting of the lantern but the Chinese New year celebration was awesome the colors the dragons and the all that I miss it is very hard to keep their hands clean when they taking school buses they at school I went at coming home and playing in dirt and leaves and all that nastiness As forn Facebook no I don't do that this is the only thing that I speak to you and rave and maybe two other people my days are usually consist of volunteering in two different schools middle school and elementary school doing homework cooking I'm keeping an eye on the little ones while everyone else is working

@aaanmil  i think i kind of like this way of communication. I find it more special and intimate but miss the three way calling with Rave also. It's 11:45 Hawaii time in the morning. I'm sorry your not feeling well, please stay warm and drink alot of H2O. Get rid of the toxic and laugh alot for the vitamins your body will make on it's own. Melatonin good for the heart too. Remember kids passes everything thru the hands. So wash hand after touching theirs. And a mask is good too. Chinese New Years was on January 25th. Here in Chinatown it start the weekend before New Years the wkend  of New Years and the wkend after New Years.  Dragon and Lion dance go to all chinese establishment for blessing and they collect the gifts for offering and good luck and health bribes from the citizens attending and in the streets cause the close it down. Some establishment do it for all 3wkends. And citizens always do it just to feel like they are part of it all. It's something to experience once in your life. A chinese Matti grad. (Without the violence). If you're interested in the chinese zodiac i dabble but my sister is more into it. Like genealogy she investigating that. Are you into facebook? If so maybe i can guide you to a picture my niece post of a custom of Lion dance. Aloha
