Happy new Year - for the Chinese readers
February 18th was new year for the Chinese. This is the year of the pig. Apparently, this is also a special year of the pig. It's the golden one which only comes every 60 years.
My wife is of Chinese extraction and so it's been interesting following things over the last few days. We spent part of their New Years Eve at a Buddhist temple with her family. I have to say that was quite fascinating along with trying a few foods I've never seen before.
So, to any readers of Chinese extraction - happy new year!
