Wishing you health, wealth and happiness...

This is the last working for up to two weeks for large swaths of East Asia as we approach the Lunar New Year/Spring Festival/Chinese New Year holiday. Hong Kong will be closed for business Monday and Tuesday while many in the mainland will take off a couple of weeks.

This is a very happy, family holiday and, as this year it falls relatively late, looks set to be warmer and more pleasant than is often the case.

So, 恭喜發財 Kung Hei Fat Choy or 恭喜发财 Gong Xi Fa Cai, if you're in China, and Chúc mừng năm mới if you're in Vietnam (Tet is basically the same holiday). May the year of the pig bring you all that you wish for.
