It's the Year of the Snake in the Lunar New Year - Let's talk about Red Envelopes.
Do you know what scenarios Taiwanese usually give red envelops and any taboos around how much you should put in it?
Today's episode is inspired by Fan Chifei's video where she talked about how she upset her mother by mistakenly put the amount of money that included a number "4", which pronounced similar to "death" in mandarin. She also chatted with her staff about the different way of spend the new year holidays with family and friends, and any games they would play together, and sometimes, a little gambling for fun.
