My First Chinese New Year Abroad !!!!

Different---very different,is the most proper word I can use to describe my experience of the first time to celebrate Chinese New Year in a foreign country.I'm sure ,many of my classmates will type a blog on this topic ,or even with this title.Even not to be unique,I'd like to talk about my own feelings because,it is the most significant festival for every Chinese people inward. We were only too willing to get back home but could not for study.

The coming of Spring Festival suggests that the cold winter would leave silently and spring would come with hope. Everything will come alive.Spring Festival is a reunion day,our seniors and us from the same university got together to have dumplings,play games,and watch Spring Festival Gala,and,of course,to get rid of loneliness. It's lucky that no difference of time between the two countries,so that we didn't have to stay up late.Far away from family and friends, as well as the familiar sound of firecrackers,we used all kinds of mediums available such as hand phone ,Internet to contact with parents.Sometimes,along with dozens of people calling their families, it really spectacular. .
.At the zero hour,a chorus of counting seconds voices came that we cheered for the last moment of the past year!!



Running back over the 2009,I have so much unforgettable experience both familial and domestic that remind me to step forward.Personally,I lived though NCEE which granted both success and failure to me.I got more persistence from the hardest working in China,and the most impressionable happiness when got the permission to go abroad just after a big frustration.I will never forget the scene that my parents saw me off with a little upset. At that night ,on Spring Festival,I looked at the stars far into the distance recalling what I did,whom I know ,and how I lived before.
Proudly,we Chinese are impressed by many events which also suppressed the world. From the success of the 60 years’ National Day to the wise response of the challenges of financial crisis. From the initiating of Chinese Logos at the G20 summit to the sincerity and determination to solve the problem that the world is turning more and more warm showed by China at Copenhagen ,there is no doubt that both domestic affairs and foreign affairs of China are beyond success.


Now, I know that the influence on the world from China is getting bigger and bigger.I feel more proud of my homeland.My first Chinese New Year abroad left a unforgettable impression that I will cherish forever.
