Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia Tuesday, February 16, 2010
This year the Mongolian New year coincides with the Chinese New Year. Our Singaporean collegue had a party this evening and taught us a new tradition: New Year's salad tossing. According to Singaporean/Malaysian-Chinese tradition, each guest needs to try tossing the salad as high into the air as possible. A good deal of the salad (noodles, mandarin oranges and more) ends up on the table or the floor, but no matter since we are talking about ensuring a whole year of good luck. Xin nian kuai le!
