Xin nian kuai le, wan shi ru yi

"Happy new year, may you have your heart's desire."
That's how the chinese wish each other happy new year. It must be admitted that they're far more poetic than westerners.
(oo, I realise now than when I first read it, I understood "may you have my heart's desire"... maybe the chinese are not that poetic, but selfishly pragmatical, a good way to be realistic)
