In honour of this day (apparently 8 is the lucky number because the Chinese word for 8 sounds very similar to the one for prosperity - [livejournal.com profile] xambrius?), two of our Chinese ladies cooked loads of gorgeous looking Dim Sum, a bowl of seafood noodles, some prawns in the shell and a pot of "Iron buddha" green tea.
Nom Nom Nom
Obviously, this is also the reason why today was chosen for the opening of the Olympics. Now let's see how many survive...

Meanwhile world leaders have gathered for what is tipped to be a vast and terrifying opening ceremony during which China is expected to arrest everyone in the stadium before launching a full-scale invasion of the moon.

Har! :D

The number 8 is the number for prosperity in numerology. Keep an 8 in your wallet, and you will see good fortune.

Just another tidbit about this number.
