Is there a traditional period going on right now?

for the most part they stay pretty close to the dates

David S:
In my time here, I'm starting to get the impression the Chinese look for ANY excuse to party! Am I right.  They seem so calm and normal on the outside, but I sense they are a bunch of party animals just waiting for the next one to come around?

David,

Not quite. :icon_biggrin: But chinese people in general will look for any excuse to get together with family for a big dinner/outing. :icon_cheesygrin:

brett:
Does a lot of alcohol consumption go on in China? Mr Wu shared a glass of beer with me and they had a teeny amount of red wine with their meal, but they weren't big drinkers like my family lol.

The Wu's and their relatives all have that thing where alcohol makes their faces go red. I'm not sure if it does anything else more serious.

Hubei was certainly different to Japan, where an incredible amount of boozing was going on by the salarymen :icon_cheesygrin:!!!

I suppose it would depend on where you are, and who you are with...no different that any other country.  I can say that where my extended Chinese family is concerned, alcohol flows pretty freely!  I had to come home so I could detox!  But again, depends on who you are with.
