JoytvNews – Gung Haggis Fat Choy
Vancouver is no stranger to fusion events. One of the most anticipated is the Scottish Chinese celebration of Gung Haggis Fat Gung Haggis Fat Choy. Dean Atwal joins in the fun…
There are many similar traditions between Chinese New Year and Scottish Hogmanay:
1) Both celebrate the beginning of a new calendar
2) Both emphasize food with family and friends
3) Both make lots of noise – Chinese set off firecrackers, and Scots set off cannons in the harbour
4) Both suggest paying off all your debts before the New Year.
