Happy Year of the Ox! Gung Hay Fat Choy!

In our preparations for the Chinese New Year, we arranged to have a Feng Shui consultant visit the basement. On the plus side, her consultation turned out to be free. On the minus side, she left in a hurry almost the minute she arrived. Before she left, she cried out that it was the most horrible place she’d ever seen. So we must be doing something right. We’re looking forward to lots of good luck in the New Year.

As a bonus, here’s a link to Some Chinese Ghosts by Lafcadio Hearn, published in 1887, on the Gutenburg Project website.

Another page which has a collection of Chinese Folk tales.

Lastly, a strange collection of photos of China from Life magazine.
