Although, if you look at the characteristics for all the signs, they've all got some pretty good ones. <BR/><BR/>donnasoowho: it's only been in the last few years that CNY has been a public festival.

I quite like the big evenings Auckland puts on at this time of year and we always try to make the Lantern Festival because we love the food, especialy Dragons Beard candy.

Which i don...ah yes Happy Chinese New Year to you. Which i don't celebrate at all but the Chairman is insistent that we go celebrate in Chinatown with dumplings... It seems like a more celebrated event here in Melbourne... so you sort of can't miss it. I don't really remember it at all when I lived in Wellies?<BR/><BR/>I"m a Rabbit.
