    Happy Chinese New Year! It started on the third, but we were too busy to post until now. But it goes on for two whole weeks! Over those two weeks Yang's Chinese birthday will be celebrated. Right now, Yang and I are making bracelets and lanterns, to start off the New Year! Chinese New Year, also know as the Lunar New Year. We get little red envelopes with money in them. Yang and I have been wearing our school uniforms all the time when we're out of school. And soon we will change into our red jackets. At the end celebration we wear our fancy dresses. I think Yang has the prettiest. Then we go do a performance in them. we sing, dance, and go to the big parade. It all very wonderful.
      We went out to get these really cute matching Chinese charm bracelets yesterday. They have all of the zodiac animals on it, and crystal rings. Now we show the pictures! The dresses have those Shopping Advertisments on them because that was the place we got them from.

Our Studies In Korea Will Be Wonderful ~ Yang Pei Yi (part one)

   When we go back to China , we are planning to stop for a few weeks in Korea, for our study benefits. Then we will head to Peking. Today we picked our Korean names. First we got our our character compass; a compass with which the directions are replaced with the Chinese characters. Shūshu made it for us in his clockwork store in China. It has been in my possession for a long time.  This is how our families originally chose their names when they went to foreign countries. First, the family gets to choose which way you hold it, and the number of times you turn, either left or right. The character the needle points to determines what letter your new name will start with. But you get to choose your own name.

My name Pei Yi means:

 Pei ~
It is pronounced PEY †.  The meaning of Pei is 'teach'.

Yi ~
Yi is pronounced as YIY †. Yi is of the meaning gift, appearance; rite.

My surname Yang means:

Yang ~

Yang is pronounced Yáng. The meaning of Yang is 'sun'.

The needle landed on S. I chose Sun-hee

Sun-hee means 'the girl of brightness'. Like the sun.

The same as Lin's.


Kim Sun-hee
