Blwyddyn Newydd Dda y Neidr i chi!
I'm pretty sure "Regular" is not the best word. "Gregorian", perhaps?
There's this really handy "other thing" I'm going to write as a footnote to my abstract that I can probably explore these issues in. I think I'll call it my "dissertation."
That term still seems to imply that it's the usual calendar and the others are unusual, uncommon, irregular or whatever.
One of the girls in my group this year is from China and in our group meeting on Friday she told us this was the first Spring Festival where she would not be with her family.
That would be tough. Generally Chinese people try very hard to be with their families, especially for Reunion Dinner on New Year's Eve. The annual chunyun (spring travel) is arguably the world's largest human migration.
Skewbrow, ladies are not required to wear a qipao, but many do, including me.
If you try to take all the steps at once, you'll fall over.
