I agree with some of them, but I think it's also environmentally more friendly to do so. More so that to save and sting on cash, it's also us doing our part for the environment.

RE: You Know You're Chinese when.....
You got a nice list there and looking thro' them I would say almost more than 80% of them applies - like reusing wrapping paper, keeping hot themos a home, bring dried snacks on travels, bearing oranges and other gifts when visiting etc.... what about Chinese New Year? must have a bit of red in each home - whether it's deco or clothes ... Guess we Chinese have a lot of traditions and similar traits (it's our custom already) and that's what make us unique eh?
