<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 135083, member: 360&quot;]It&#039;s Chinese tradition for children and unmarrieds to be given money on Chinese New Year, and during weddings, in red envelopes, to wish them good luck and prosperity for the year ahead.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well. My brother had his wedding ON Chinese New Year. And we had dozens of uncles and aunts coming to visit. So I was getting a red envelope about once every two hours over the course of four days. By the time it was over, I had about $500-$600 in cash. And I&#039;d been holding onto it for about two months, looking for something to spend it on.</p><p><br /></p><p>I initially thought of buying a silver pocketwatch, but after seeing HOW EXPENSIVE THEY ARE (help!), I decided to spend it on the glasses instead.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve rung up the camera shop and they&#039;re cautiously optimistic, so I&#039;m bringing them down this afternoon after I&#039;ve finished my stuff in the city.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
