A look into lives of foreigners in China during Spring Festival

Rosemary Bolger (from Australia)

1. What's your favorite food for Spring Festival?

Can't answer that yet as this is my first Spring Festival in China. I'm keen to try some new things and hopefully there will be some delicious dumplings involved.

2. What would you like to do most during the Spring Festival?

It wouldn't be a New Year celebration without fire crackers, so I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing them go off at midnight. As I still have to work most of the week, I'll be making the most of a quiet Beijing, getting to sit down on the subway, not having to queue up for tourist attractions (those that are still open, anyway) and taking a taxi without having to worry about traffic.

3. What is the biggest change in your life during the past year?

That's an easy one... moving to China!
