Hi, I’m from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We Vietnameses also celebrated the Lunar New Year in 6 days (from Feb 6 to Feb 11). I’m also Catholic. Because the Ash Wednesday is on Feb 6 and it’s also the last day of 2007 in the Lunar Year, all Catholics in Vietnam went to church that day to have ashes put on forehead but we’ll fast on Fri, Feb 15 instead of Wed

You’ll for sure find beautiful people (male and female) in Brazil’s Carnival. People from all over the world come to our country to have fun, listen to good carnival’s songs, dating, etc. Please, help yourself.

Ha ha, We Chinese are celebrating the Lunar New Year now! In Chinese, the Lunar New Year is called “chun jie”. Literally, it means ” Spring Festival”. It’s the time for people to get back to their hometown to have a family reunion. I’m very delightful because this year is the year of Rat and I was born in a year of Rat.

Dr Jeff, Lucy and all other staff of ESL Podcast, Happy Lunar New Year! “chun jie kuai le!” in Chinese.

Best Regards from China
