2!

Hello world!

So today is the second day of CNY and there's one very funny thing I witnessed today hahaha So my eldest cousin, brought his girlfriend to my grandpa's house today. However, his girlfriend is not Chinese so she cannot understand mandarin. So that cousin's mum told him to introduce my aunts (apparently I have quite a few) to her so that she won't be bored. So my eldest aunt went over to give her a red packet. Then his mum said, this one is "Big Auntie". That's such a literal translation... In Chinese, we call the eldest aunt, 大姨, literally big auntie. Then I was thinking... So the youngest aunt, who we call 小姨, will just be called "Small Auntie"..? Then what about 二姨 (second aunt), literally translated to "Two Auntie" and so on hahaha Some things just cannot be translated from Chinese to English so literally!!! But still, it was a really good laugh hahaha So in the start of the day, I played a few rounds of Bingo, where I won about $30. But throughout the day, as I play more and more games, that $30 just went down and down to $0. So for the day, I didn't make any money at all.. Oh well at least I didn't lose any money hahaha
