Hello everyone! Happy Lunar New Year! In today's podcast I talk about Lunar New Year celebratory activities at school. We went on a field trip on Tuesday, including a hotpot buffet meal and a visit to the Asian supermarket next door. We also did various other activities such as Chinese paper cutting and a "Cake Day" on Friday, where students brought cakes to celebrate. I also share my own Lunar New Year traditions, including wearing red, especially because it's my zodiac year. If you celebrate, I wish you a prosperous Year of the Dragon!

大家好，欢迎收听新一期的5分钟中文。今天是大年初一。我想先在这里给庆祝农历新年的朋友们拜一个年：祝大家龙年吉祥，生龙活虎，身体健康，万事如意！

那这个星期我在我的学校也跟同学们进行了各种各样的活动。比如说星期二我们一起去旁边的大城市做了一个Field trip。就是先去了一个火锅店吃了火锅自助。吃完了以后呢，我们正好就走到旁边的亚洲超市逛了很长时间。去年我们也是一样的行程，但是去年的时间我安排的有一点紧。吸取了去年的经验教训之后呢，今年我安排时间安排得正好。我觉得大家都玩得很开心，时间正好够。然后回来差不多是6:00。跟我想的每个时间点都是一样的，所以我也特别的骄傲，我觉得明年也可以这么玩。大家吃喝玩乐特别开心。

然后我们在星期三、四、五也有不同的活动。比如说，我们有中国的剪纸。我从中国的淘宝买了一些剪纸，然后学生每个人就用他们的手机扫描二维码，它的剪纸上面有教学的视频，所以他们就可以一边看一边剪。然后很多人都没有剪过中国剪纸。不管是简单的还是容易的（口误：难的），大家剪得都很认真，玩得很开心！剪完了之后，有的学生带回家，学生就想让我放在教室。所以我把学生剪的十二生肖啊，春字啊，还有龙啊、福啊，等等都贴在了教室不同的地方。

星期五我们还有一个新的创意，就是cake day，就是蛋糕日。因为有个学生说我们怎么庆祝呢？我要不带一个蛋糕吧？我说中国新年蛋糕并不吃蛋糕。，但是为什么不呢？就可以是我们自己的中文课的传统。所以我有三个学生，不管是自己做的还是买的，带了三个蛋糕。然后我们一起吃了一天的蛋糕。我吃了特别多，导致我晚上都没有吃饭，因为吃了太多的东西了。

学生问我我自己会怎么过春节呢？因为今年是我的本命年。我是属龙的。所以呢，传统上说我应该更注意穿红色，所以我今天一起来就换上红色的睡衣，红色的睡裤，然后这样的话好像是比较吉利。因为本命年嘛，大家要多注意。虽然这是一个迷信，但是我觉得穿红色很好看呀！因为红色是在中国文化里很喜庆、很欢乐的颜色。然后除了穿红色，我觉得大部分中国人一般就是全家在一起吃团圆饭。团圆饭大家可能见过。中国家庭的餐桌，就是有鱼有肉，如果是北方的话，一般会有饺子。反正是一桌，大家围在一起有说有笑，一边吃一边聊天，看春晚，我觉得是一个一年中很美好的时候！

那今天就跟大家聊到这里，如果你庆祝农历新年在这里，再次祝你龙年行大运，感谢您的收听，我们下期再见！

The Tuesday Zoo is back after their break and there is a new intro song (00:51)! Cooper tells the tragic story of Fatty the Fish (5:20). History is made as the Tuesday Zoo takes its first ever phone call! The wonderful esteemed JA is the first caller to the Tuesday Zoo and the guys have some questions for him (10:04). Of course it wouldn't be a Tuesday Zoo without Cooper Smells, (15:00) and then the gang finishes the show off by betraying Daniel and not inviting him to lunch (21:30).

Not long ago, we celebrated Deepavali and Christmas, and now, Chinese New Year and Hari Raya are on the horizon. While these festivities are typically joyous occasions, some individuals express hesitation about reuniting with family and relatives due to internal conflicts.

In situations where negativity implies the need to sever ties, family relationships challenge this notion. With Chinese New Year coinciding with the start of the new year, does it offer an opportunity to foster peace amid familial conflicts? Or do people persist in gathering despite underlying problems? In this episode, the Hush girls delve into navigating family reunions amidst ongoing conflicts. They share personal experiences dealing with such situations and explore strategies for a drama-free new year.

In what is the last live show until the new year, the Tuesday Zoo is an astounding 20 minutes late to the show (00:48). There is always time saved for Dunkin, though, although they fell short of our very low expectations (4:02). The last cooper smells of 2023 fast approaches as the gang smells cooper and, of course, relay their findings to our lovely audience (9:20). Daniel has some interesting questions you should ask your partner, because we all know he is the bastion of dating (14:29). Since Dua Lipa recently became single, Rob and Cookie each give 3 reasons as to why they should be the one to date Dua. Cooper and Daniel are the presiding judges as you'll want to tune in to see who the Tuesday Zoo nominates as their official courting pair for Dua (20:32). The show ends with a Trial of Daniel and some heartfelt goodbyes (28:41).

The boys are back in town as they intro the show and talk about Hudsons injury (00:38). They talk about the snow in CNY, the holiday season, and birthdays (3:52). Daniel and Hudson got absolutely OWNED in the dunkin donuts (8:29) and then they sniff Cooper in one of the most tantalizing Cooper Smells of all time (12:21). Why is it called Cowabunga and not Sheepabunga or Giraffeabunga? The boys discuss this in box of chocolates (17:26). The highlight reel rounds itself off with Hudsons PASSIONATE opinion on weddings (24:53).

The Tuesday Zoo returns with a scandalous opening tune (00:35) and then Daniel has the bright idea to talk about driving with his knees and pyroclastic flow, and don’t worry because that makes zero sense to the other guys as well (5:02). The gang takes a Buzzfeed quiz to determine what type of egg they are (12:04), and then speaking of eggs, Cooper Smells (23:07)! A segment makes its returned, with the all-new and improved Library of Shame! Cooper takes his crack at a shameful story that involves broken things and lying in the workplace (28:28).

In this edition of the Tuesday Zoo, the guys intro the show and explain why Cookie isn't joining them (00:30). They talk about dad behavior (3:46) and Rob becomes a part of Coopers family?? (9:30). The guys struggle with Cooper Smells in the absence of the master sniffer, Cookie (16:50). Daniel asks the guys a question after being caught off guard by a girl earlier in the week, (23:50) and then a SPECIAL GUESTS edition of the Cooper Power hour is introduced! (30:50). The special guests then have the utmost honor of adding some rules to the Tuesday Zoos utopian village (33:45).

Some new ground is paved this week on the Tuesday zoo as the guys intro the show and talk about whether cliff bars are granola bars or not (00:44). Daylight savings, what is it, why is it, who cares? The Tuesday zoo has opinions (5:35). They talk about state fair foods (10:16), then they sniff Cooper (17:33). You do not want to miss Daniel sharing one of his most shameful moments on the Library of Shame (23:28). The Cooper Power Hour is joined by… COOPER?!?! Cooper joins his own hour for the first time this year and has some fun (30:55).

The Tuesday Zoo is back, albeit shorthanded, and they tell you about why as they open the show (00:30). They talk about rappers and how to freestyle rap (3:46), before introducing a new bed and taking a segment suggestion from Rob's father (8:23). They smell Cooper, but have to use their telepathic powers as Cooper is not present in the station (13:19). They add some new rules to the village (18:22) and finish off the show with Box of Chocolates featuring 2 new mystery guests... (25:00).

In what might be one of the most unprofessional Tuesday Zoos ever, Daniel tries to sue Rob and it backfires horribly with Rob launching a gross negligence countersuit meant to take Daniel down (00:32). Daniel tries to enlighten his fellow cohosts by telling them about Liaison Clothes, a concept that might not make any sense in any way (06:54). They take turns smelling their cohost Cooper and Hudson has some very strong opinions (11:23) before they add some new rules and laws to the Tuesday Zoo Village (18:04). Cooper leaves and Rob Daniel and Hudson finish out the show with a (horrendous) rendition and discussion of Rappers Delight before talking about some of their most listened to artists (26:10).

China consumption has been weak.  In the most recent Dragon Boat Festival holidays, tourism revenue is still lower than in 2019.  A few other consumption indicators have also been soft.  The revenge spending does not seem to have happened and the rebalancing of China to a consumption driven economy is making slow progress.  What may turn this around?

The Chinese yuan has been falling in view of weak growth and also the outlook of lower interest rates against the US.  That clearly has hurt sentiment in the Chinese equity market as well.  While Chinese households have a lot of deposit money, it has not benefited the stock market so far. 

In this episode, Richard Tang, the China strategist and Head Research Hong Kong and Hao Hong, Partner and Chief Economist of GROW discussed on China consumption and economy, whether money is being reallocated from China to Japan, and the outlook for the RMB going forward.

Happy Lunar New Year! Let’s find out what 2023 will bring for all of us. In this episode I am sharing my predictions for this year, as they have appeared to me during one of the recent meditations. 

Whether you are focused on business, spirituality, relationships or all of that, in this transmission you will find clarity on what to do to get where you want to be. 

Soulful Transmission is a series at Timeless Teachings podcast with insights and wisdom from a deeply meditative state.
