Last night, which was the lunar or Chinese new year’s eve, I was on board the USS Blue Ridge docked in General Santos City, the third and final stop in the Philippines (Manila and Cebu were the other ports of call) for the command ship of the U.S. Seventh Fleet (among the fleet’s 21 vessels is the fabled aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk). Instead of nian gao (sticky rice cake, a.k.a. tikoy) there was roast beef, a decidedly un-Chinese way of spending what is perhaps the most important occasion in the Chinese roster of festivals.
