HAPPY NEW CHINESE YEAR
Four Bloopers to Avoid On Chinese New Year
With Chinese New Year supposedly a pivotal time for dictating fortunes over the coming months, there's a list of do's and don'ts as long as your arm.
Here's our quick pick of the bigger bloopers:
* Don't wash your hair on New Year's Day.
Yes, that's right; hold the shampoo till the next day, or you could wash away all your luck for the year.
* Don't cry on New Year's Day -
After all, you don't want to spend the whole year crying, do you?
* No money lending on - you've guessed it - New Year's Day
No lending anything in fact. And you have paid off all your debts before Chinese New Year, haven't you?
* Don't go out meeting people on ... the fifth day of the new year.
A good one if you have horrible in-laws, this. You stay home, rather than pop out and meet friends and relatives - for if you met them today, you'd bring bad luck on
both them and you.
