        I had great fun in Saudi Arabia, but am excited to attend a Chinese New Year celebration in Hong Kong. It celebrates the end of the chinese calendar and is often known as The Spring Festival. The color red is mainly shown to represent good fortune and joy. The people there are dressed in mainly red and yellow. Others may have dragon costumes on the are all decked out in red and yellow with sparkles. I was introduced to a new food called "Buddha's Delight", a vegetarian dish that is eaten only on the first day of the new year.     
        I met a man named Hong there as well. He invited me over for dinner and we got to know eachother. His house was very neat and organized to welcome the new yaer. Hong said that works in the electronic industry. He also told me that china is the world's largest market for computers as of 2011. China relys on oversea parts and capital goods. he told me that they did not pay that much of income taxes, but the people in china also dont make much income because the communist government own most everything in the country.  
    Time was flying and i said 再見 which means good bye in traditional chinese. I made my way to the airport and started my next journey.
