was in Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) Vietnam during lunar new year last year. Day or two before the actual NY, there was a mass exodus of people leaving the big city for their hometowns. City was dead for a couple of days at least (we left shortly after too).

But, I'm sure there's a hidden meaning to it now that I know it's not common.  | |

The title should be changed to Lunar new years as there are quite a few countries that also celebrate it outside of Greater China regions. Quote:

I guess you just missed out.

Or maybe simply they want me to go spend it in hk 
Chinese people giving out things always has meanings
