Red is the colour of the month this February as Chinese around the world usher in a New Year. I visited a lot of shopping malls over the past week as I was doing my Chinese New Year shopping and every corner seems to be red in colour!
Of course, pink is also seen everywhere because of Valentine's Day which falls on 14th February, 2010, which coincidentally, is also the first day of the Chinese New Year! This coincidence makes these two days extra special.
Besides roaring business for retailers, another sector to benefit highly from these two occasions that are celebrated this Chinese is the food industry. A friend, who runs his own restaurant, told me that it certainly has been a long time since he was this busy. I guess that after the long drought no thanks to the recent economic recession, things are beginning to pick up once again and people are beginning to spend once more.
