Year of the Rat ! The Chinese New Year.

Chinese New Year next week the 7th February.
Well it's nearly the end of the Year of the Pig,my year actually.

Splashes of red in some parts of the city in the form of red lanterns or lights well mainly in the shopping centre,or shopping malls as the locals here call them.
Well the celebrations this year are subdued to the country still mourning the recent death of Princess Gali so no lion dance or parades in ChinaTown.
