*without using any wiki or anything*
Chinese new year varies each year. The start of chinese new year is the first full moon. They then celebrate for 2 weeks :)

I heard on the news, it's the the year of the rat, I think?Yeh that's correct. Found some information about it aswell:
n the "Year of the Rat", we can expect 12 months of plentiful opportunities and prospects not to mention being relatively free of turbulence, (which is great to know especially if you're planning on making some long-term investments, starting new projects, or keeping the home fires burning brightly).

ah i see, i'm part chinese and i'm from singapore. the chinese here speak mandarin though, so everyone spells it as gong xi fai cai :D

i used to celebrate cny, until my parents separated.

[le harry]

Do you guys celebrate the actual New Year aswell. :S That's well good if you do, you get two New Years!

Happy Lunar New Year.
