It's Chinese New Year and the celebrations started with a real bang yesterday (lots of fire crackers and fire works) and will continue well into the night tonight. I am excited to say that I am indeed a Dragon so this is apparently going to be my year. I share this honor with my fellow Canuck and awesome blogger Maria Foley at
I was an Expat Wife who has some great detail today on her blog about Chinese horoscopes. Have a look!
Yesterday, my friend Thanya took me around to her friend's house to join in their celebrations so I thought I'd just take you through a pictorial journey...

Have a wonderful day and I'll be back soon...I've got two books I want to review for you... The
Sewing Circles of Herat
and
Perking the Pansies - Jack and Liam move to Turkey
but I'm not sure which one will come first. Any requests?
