2 days ago it was a eve of new year in chinese tradition we always cook together and make some dumplings, especially in north part of china.. in south part of china they always eat dumplings, they eat sweet dumplings, i haven’t noticed that 1 month ago, i thought every chinese should eat dumplings. I noticed that in the south part of china they don’t eat dumplings. And at that day i cooked with my friends – they came to my apartment and we made some dumplings, we talked a whole night. We just talked something about affection, about love, about how to interact with your lover, and how to have a good relationship… and after that, I opened my macbook and I visit a website to find the Chinese new year celebration on TV. And after that I want to call my grandpa but I found he didn’t add me on wechat. He’s so old so he cannot play phones….
