how much shld the amt of ang pow be actually depends on oneself.everybody has a different view.just to share mine with u...

50k - all those relatives that are close and below the age of 18

200k - really close relative that is above 18 years old.

1)the nephew of my wife,parents divorced since he was only 6 years old,and bcos both parents re-marry,so he actually stay with my wife's family until he went to work 2 years ago.

2)wife of my younger BIL

500k - my younger BIL

1 million - MIL

next year i need to prepare a BIG ang pow for my 'little darling'...newborn son of my BIL which will also address me as 'pa'.still dunno give wat,most likely will be something memorable instead of cash.

small reminder.....

sometimes,'money minded' distant relatives which never met for years will suddenly appear out of nowhere when they 'receive wind' that there is a new 'foreign money god'....then its best time for u to be a 'blind and deaf' person liaoz....u know wat i mean....

btw,its always gd to experience the life of staying at a village,after that then we will really appreciate and not take for granted of wat we have in modern city life.hope u will have a memorable trip.
