"Hi – this is Bob Jones from the UK, a host of the Beijing Hour at China Radio International.


This is second time round for me to experience the Spring Festival, Lunar New Year here in China.


Last year I really didn't know what to expect - and maybe that's what I have learned 1 – you just never know what's going to happen next.


New year is literally 2 an explosion 3 of light and sound – I have never seen – or heard so many fireworks … starting well before midnight and going on into the early hours of the next morning.


It's a time full of tradition … family and also about friendship – and because it's China – lots of fabulous 4 food.


So goodbye – year of the Monkey – it's been great… wouldn't have missed it for the world.


And hello Year of the Rooster – as I understand it – it's all about singing, danging, entertaining and making new friends.


It's showtime…best foot forward and being fearless, And if last year is anything to go by – I can't even guess what's in store.


So – have a fantastic Chinese New Year."
