Shenzhen K-1 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 This is the time of year that I went to China for my first of three trips in 2007!! It is a very sad time right now, the whole process is wearing me down, I miss her greatly and on top of that tomorrow (1/17) is her birthday!! 1. How do you say happy birthday in Chinese? 2. What is a normal gift for your Mrs. in China, anything special? 3. What have those of you in waiting sent for gifts? Our P-4 should be in the next month and the only good thing is that she will miss her first year of snow and we will have a spring wedding!!! It seems like a long time ago that I was in Beijing, October, 2007!! Link to comment

jim_julian Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Birthday's in China are not nearly the big deal they are in the US. Chinese only pay attention to certain years ... for example the ten year ones. You can also define Chinese as having two birthdays ... one the standard Julian calendar date (or Gregorian calendar, if you prefer) and the other the Chinese lunar calendar date. We celebrate the girls' birthdays twice ... and in fact, Lao Po's Julian birthday is January 17th and her Chinese birthday this year is February 23rd. Link to comment

As for a gift I don't know what to tell you as I'm new to that one. I've only bought b-day gifts for American woman up to now. Good luck and here is praying that you get your P-4 soon.
