Did you know when you buy walnuts, you should shake each one first? If it rattles, it’s dried and you should put it back! Find the ones that don’t shake 😃
*I know this because I was,shopping like an uncouth wild thing just picking up a handful and a Chinese nai nai shook her head in a tsk-tsk manner and started teaching me the proper way 😊
(Nai Nai – grandmother -奶奶)
According to traditional custom, today is the Chinese lantern festival! It’s a day when they light the paper lanterns and send them up as symbols of hopes and dreams for the future. A beautiful tradition!
Always on the first full moon of the new lunar year.
Lanterns are available for about ￥5, and come in many colors! Mine was red 🙂
Lights are shining!
Fireworks blasting!
Happy Lantern Festival!
