It's that time of year, Chinese New Year where Hong Bao to be distributed. Hong Bao is Chinese for red envelope red packet or .
In this Umschäge money given as a gift. Not just any amount, it must always be an even number an odd amount of bad luck. The best bit by 8, then $ 8, $ 18, $ 28, etc. The 4 is the only exception among the even numbers and should be avoided because the Chinese character for "4" too much for the "death" similar.
But not everyone gets a Hong Bao, and not everyone has to distribute some. The original tradition says that, presented within the family, married to unmarried, regardless of age, Hong Bao.
Too bad I'm one of the donors.
