Why Do Folks Love Going To Chinese New Year Open Houses? Tong Tong Chiang.. tong tong chiang… and shouts of “Huat AH!” echoes everywhere this Chinese New Year. Well, that’s what comes to mind, 15 days of joyous celebrations and open houses. Oh, did I just mention open houses? Yes I did! CNY open houses, especially those event based property developers / ministers / anyone important ones are pretty awesome. Have you been to any yet this year? So, why exactly do folks love going to Chinese New Year Open Houses? I have a pretty good idea, a top 5 if you would like.. From lion dances, to fire crackers, red ang pows, Chinese Calligraphies and more, what's not to like?

Over the weekend, I was up at Genting Highlands, partly to enjoy the fresh cold environment but mainly to meet the in-laws that drove up. It was a nice surprise for me to see that there was the 10th Genting World Lion Dance Championship 2012 on-going at the Arena Of Stars venue.
