Yueyin,
Happy New Year to You and Yours!
I like the 3D image of the dragon head on the U.S. stamp a lot better. 
What do you say we get together sometime before you head back to Boulder? I'm free anytime. We can meet somewhere in the Lakeway area since you don't have your vehicle with you. Or I can pick you up and come to my place.

Steve,
Thank you! The same best wishes to you! It looks like that the year of dragon would be a great year ahead! I will be very pleased to meet you again, but currently, I have some business to take care of. I will call you when I am free to go.
I also like the dragon image on the U.S. stamp a lot better. Some people say that “龙不应该翻译成 dragon。Dragon 的本意是凶残的有翼巨兽、恶魔、悍妇等。中国人在外国人面前自称 dragon，是自我妖魔化。” I don’t agree with them. The fact that the US government issued the year of dragon lucky money and the year of dragon stamp shows that the Chinese culture has been very well understood and respected in the United States.

I don't either. The flag of Wales has a ferocious red dragon on it, BTW. I doubt if any such issue ever came up.
