The Chinese New Year officially started yesterday, 17 February, marking the beginning of the Year of the Horse! 🐎

Our wonderful Chinese teacher, Ziqiao, celebrated with her students and fellow UvA Talen colleagues by hanging red banners - typically custom to hang outside one’s front door to invite good fortune, writing in calligraphy, and eating homemade dumplings 🥟.
