Lunar New Year

As I started up the game today, Isabelle informed me that today is the start of the lunar new year. She wished everyone good fortune and happiness.

Isabelle: Hello, everyone! Today is the start of the Lunar New Year! I wish you all good fortune and happiness.

I checked the Nook Shopping app to see if there were any new seasonal items for the occasion, and indeed, there are. They include a lucky red envelope, a Lunar New Year decoration, and a Bokjumeoni lucky pouch. Order them while you can!

But it’s clearly not a major holiday in the game. Each villager will mention it the first time you talk to them, but that’s about all there is to it.

Tybalt: HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!

I received my latest reward from Gullivarrr in the mail today, and it was a pirate-treasure crown. I guess it’s nice to have a crown that doesn’t cost a million bells. 👑

I was playing earlier in the day than usual, so I decided to do some fishing. It paid off, because I caught my first pale chub, and also, my first ranchu goldfish!

I caught a ranchu goldfish! But I prefer balsamicu golffish!
I didn’t get this at first, but it’s apparently a salad dressing pun. 🥗

I donated them both to the museum, and I still need eight more fish.

Saharah was in town today, and I bought a colorful vinyl sheet, summit wall, red argyle rug, and parking flooring from her.

Outside of town hall, I used my camera app to take a photo of Agent S, Bones, and Tia. The big frown on Bones’s face made me laugh.

See you all tomorrow! Have a Happy Lunar New Year. 😛
