The year of the Rat

The chinese New year starts today.
I usually don't pay attention to the chinese new year, because it has never has effected me. On sunday my dojo is throwing a celebration. Demostations of Kung Fu and Tai Chi will happen, a lion dance, the chinese place next door is crating. It will be good times.

Have you noticed that this year though, it looks like a lot of holidays/important events have been combined into one month. Tuesday was margdi gra, wednesday was ash wednesday, and today is the chinese new year.

It's been quite a week.
