Chinese and Japanese confusion

I've been around twitter and I realized there has been a lot of confusion between Japanese clothing and Chinese clothing. So in my attempt to clear the issue (and the hope of proper term usage) here's a helpful guide.

KIMONO is a Japanese clothing. The full length robes worn that the hem falls to the ankles and is wrapped around the body always left side over right side and is secured by a sash called, obi, which is tied at the back.

CHEONGSAM/QI PAO is a Chinese clothing. It's a body hugging one piece dress often with mandarin collar.

STANDING ON THE SAME GROUND

Hello Friends,

We may differ from a lot of things but at one point we stand in the same ground. We are all parents. We are all daughters and sons. With this, let me share this really touching video. *please prepare hankies*

Just Wonderin': WEDDING DAY, HALLOWEEN!

Has anyone been married on Halloween? Is there a known urban legend or anything at all that says getting married on a Halloween is pure bad luck?

Wouldn't it be nice to be married and your guests are in their favorite Halloween costumes? And then there will be lots of cool games to think of! It'll be the fun and unique.

You can even set a Halloween themed wedding and make a spooktacular title :)
Your cake could be shaped like Jack-o-lantern.

You can choose spooky Halloween themes or just a mild touch of Halloween.
For centerpieces, you can buy cheap pumpkins from farmers who wouldn't need them anymore. Use white and orange flowers too! As for the flower girl dresses, you can choose black as the color and orange for the bride's maids.

And make the coolest Halloween wedding invitations too! :)

Having a Halloween themed wedding isn't making a joke out of the sacred celebration but instead, making it fun and memorable. What's important is both sides agree upon the theme and are all for it.

Plan a great wedding for yourselves and not for others!

Be the Chinese Royal Family this Halloween

Since you're thinking of getting the kids Halloween costumes, why not think BIGGER?
How about a themed Halloween costume for the entire family? You can all be the Chinese royal family! Everyone gets to wear great dresses too! (not to mention it'll look good on photos)

Or just to be original, how about dressing your little girl/boy as a Chinese princess or prince and you (the parents) are his loyal servants. It'll be fun piling up together to trick or treat :)
