Chinese New Year


About America, I love the diversity and the "melting pot feeling". Yesterday started the Chinese New Year and I called a friend of mine to wish her a happy New Year. According to the Chinese calendar, it's now the Year of the Rat. In Boston, there will be on February 17 a big celebration in Chinatown and we are looking forward to it. Every year, it's a lot of fun to watch the lion dancers, drummers and all the firework.

Hi Christiane,
Nice shot. These bright colors are really pretty and the chinese zodiac a lot of fun. Since the rat is not my favorite animal, I am glad I was born under the sign of the dog.
