Double 7th Lunar Month...

this year there will be two 7th Lunar months due to the calculation of the calendar (some leap year thingy)... checked with my parents on the double 7th Lunar months...

1. the "spirits" will only be out for the 1st 7th Lunar month (i.e. from 25 July to 23 August 2006)... no extended holidays for them...
2. the 15th day of the 8th Lunar month (i.e. Lantern Festival) will be delayed by one month and is now on 6th October 2006)...

i can be quite superstitious when it comes to the 7th Lunar month... no sea / water sports... no flights... no hiking / mountain climbing... just to be safe... and probably no minimal late nights...
