From Lauren Mack, your Guide to Chinese Culture

As the middle of the Ghost Month approaches, get ready to celebrate the Hungry Ghost Festival on Sunday. The Hungry Ghost Festival is the day that revelers believe the gates of hell are most open and ghosts continue to roam in search of food and entertainment. Learn how to spot (or avoid) ghosts.

Monday is Chinese Father's Day. Be sure to wish those around you a Happy Father's Day in Chinese.

As always, I welcome your comments, feedback and suggestions.

Happy Chinese Valentine's Day!
One of the perks of living in Taiwan is that I get to celebrate double the holidays - Western holidays like Christmas and Valentine's Day and Chinese holidays like Chinese New Year and Qi Xi Jie. Saturday was one of those days as lovers in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan celebrate Qi Xi Jie, Chinese Valentine's Day.
