Every Chinese New Year in my grandmother’s house, we played Mahjong with real money, which made it more serious because several hundreds could be lost easily. Therefore, the atmosphere was pretty dignified, but chatting often occurred. Usually, we played Mahjong for four hours, and then after several days, we went to my relatives’ house and played again with bigger bet. I have attended every single game and  lost 650 NTD for two days, which was unfortunate. However, I was really happy even I lost money because it was merely impossible that every member in my relatives’ families, gathered  and chatted together through a gambling way. This was not a new experience for me, but a yearly routine in Chinese New Year, which I will keep on holding. Furthermore, Mahjong promotes brain development, probably, because it takes a lot of skills. Minor mistakes, such as misunderstanding of probability of winning, could be done often, although I never made mistakes since I was eight. I could tell that we are great at playing Mahjong because, first of all, we discard cards rapidly, secondly, we could know what the others are waiting for just by the way they discard cards.

If You Want to Challenge Me on Mahjong, Better Bring Some Money So That It Becomes Mine!~

Enjoy Your Chinese New Year, Everyone~~
