Sorry, I am a bit late. Lunar New Year was on February the 8th 2008. Hope you celebrated with some firecrackers and yummy Chinese food?

Oh boy, do I miss celebrating the lunar new year like I did in London (Soho). That was fun - watching the different Kung Fu schools doing their dragon dances while stuffing delicious sweeties into my mouth …

A new year - and 364 shiny new days to go! Somehow I don’t really connect with all these strange festivals and old religious festivals like Christmas. But it is important to celebrate the passage of time - to set personal milestones to measure what has happened in one’s life.
