It was my ancestors’ dinner. (Okay, we did eat some of it later on.) We also burnt some gold-coloured paper so as to get some cash to my late relatives in the afterlife. Later on today we set off some fireworks and watched Celine Dion sing in Chinese (she was surprisingly good!)
Wish you good fortune and happiness for you and your family.
