The streets were full of celebrations and at school on Chinese New Years Day every teacher was given a red envelope with money inside as a gift for the New Year.
This is my tour blog. You can decide if three years of Journalism studies and reading a collection of Bill Bryson novels has taught me anything. Enjoy.

Chinese New Year
Thailand loves a celebration. As well as celebrating New Year on January 1 with the rest of the World they also have their own Thai New Year in April. On top of that they also celebrate the Chinese New Year. The Christmas decoarations had only just been packed away beside the river when the Chinese New Year decorations were put in place. On the Chinese New Years Eve many houses lit a bonfire in front of their house and burn fake money and gold which is said to be passed on to those who have died in the afterlife.
