Chinese New Year Reflection

My Chinese New Year wasn't really that traditional at all. The only traditional thing that happened was probably that I had to go to Taichung, but even that isn't really traditional. During Chinese New Years, people are supposed to go back to their mother's parents' house, but I go to my father's parents' house. There are many traditions for Chinese New Year, like cleaning the whole house and playing with fireworks and betting and drinking, but I did none of those. Instead, I went shopping (kind of) and to this "3D-books museum" that was in Taichung. Another thing I did for Chinese New Year was just watching a lot of TV and working out everyday since our swimming coach believed that we're all going to be really out of shape when we get back. The whole time during Chinese New Year, I woke up at 11 and slept at 11. It was pretty nice but lazy, and I'm definitely going to miss it now that it's over. My red envelope money were actually quite a significant amount of money, considering that I only had 7, but I got like more than 10,000. Don't worry though, none of that is mine, because my mom has already "taken care" of it. My Chinese New Year was extremely unproductive and uneventful, but it was a much-needed break from all the school time, and I'm going to miss this break greatly (but the Spring Break is coming soon, and then... the Summer Break!).
