大家好！

Greek Man here with the first installment of "Sweet and Sour", GMB's column regarding all the fine things you can eat in China.

Happy Tiger Exploding Dragon

大家好！新年快樂！
It's officially 2010 for the Chinese and the year of the Tiger is upon us! Best wishes to all for the new year! It's a very fun time of the year to be in China right now because the Lunar New Year (or Spring Festival as they call it) is one of the most important Chinese holidays. A whole week of visiting family, partying with friends and...playing with fireworks. Yes that is correct! Since the bell tolled on February 14th at midnight Beijing has turned into a battlefield of sorts with all kinds of colorful and loud explosions filling the air. Yours' truly also participated in the fun and all I have to say is "4th of July, eat your heart out!"
