Happy Chinese New Year!
A Happy Chinese New Year! Happy Lunar New Year!
And also, it is a Japanese New Year in their "Old Calendar".
In Japan, people celebrate their "Old" new year eating as many Roasted Soy Beans as the number of their age.
You know, Roasted Soy Beans are quite tasty with full of flavour!
When they are kids, they wish if they were older as they want to eat more. As time goes on, however, kids grow and change their mind, start wishing if they got younger.
春節おめでとうございます。そして春節は、日本の旧正月でもあります。
日本では、旧正月には炒った大豆を、自分の歳の数だけ食べるという風習があります。
炒った大豆って、香ばしくて美味しいですよね。
子供の頃は、もっと食べたくって、早く大人になりたいと思ったものです。
でも、時が経って大人になると、そんな昔の願い事はころっと忘れ、
若返りたいなんて考え始めるのです。

Pidans have quite a lot of hobbies which keep them busy.
