    Weird I thought Chinese Valentine's Day is always on the 7th day of the Chinese New Year? Isn't it the Hungry Ghost Month now?

    There was a Yuan Xiao during the Chinese New Year right? I thought that was the Chinese Valentine?

    wis, "Yuan Xiao" is on 15th of the first Lunar month in China.
    and it is a time for family re-union, "Yuan" means "reunion" in China.

    i have lived there for a year, interest in their traditions.:p
