Today at midnight, East Asian (China, Koreas, Japan etc.) and Southeast Asia(Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, etc.) along with their diaspora will celebrate the Lunar New Year!
Hence, I wish you all prosperity, progress and peace!
새해복 많이 받으세요!
Happy New Year!
Naya Saal Mubarak Ho!
In Korea, we call it Seolnal (or Seollal / 설날) and it is one of the two most important holidays (the other being Chuseok) where the whole family get together, enjoy time and perform ancestral rituals in their respective hometowns and it is going to be a minimum 3 days holiday.
In China, the New Year is celebrated for 15 days (longest and the most anticipated holiday in China) and everybody likes to spend it with their families, which in turn leads to the biggest internal migration on earth at this time around.
Since, the weather has been strange lately, I hope that everyone reaches home - safe and sound!
I wish everybody a fantastic Year of the [Water] Dragon!
