...or this Sunday, that is. And I'm so glad I've spent the last two weeks away from Singapore, where Chinese New Year marketing is like commercial Christmas on crack: songs whose lyrics consist entirely of gong xi gong xi gong xi ni playing in a endless loop, everything decked out with red and gold, and my mailbox stuffed to bursting with ads for Abundant Prosperity pizzas (Pizza Hut's version has sesame seeds, pork floss, sweet bacon and lime mayo), Prosperous Abundance mutual funds and Abundantly Prosperous Double Happiness insect repellants. But I'll be back just in time for the most important event: the food, the glorious food! Here's a tip for pescaterians too: Yusheng. Jixiang hua!
