But I was just scrolling on Facebook and I saw a LEGO ad that said: Celebrate the Chinese new year! Receive a free gift celebrating the Year of the Rat with every purchase of 80 or up. And the gift was a cartoony LEGO rat. Video games like League of Legends, Overwatch, shitty mobile games et cetera, I get that, games like that are huge over in China as well.

Like for example the news here will have story about the festivities put on by the Vietnamese community. Everyone they talk to call it either just New Year or Lunar New Year, but the anchor calls it Chinese New Year. --- 11/11/1572 -- Never Forget. <cite>Stagmar posted [p:933325209] in When did C...
