Two years ago I spent the holiday in China and it was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had. It was the year of the rabbit.

Coincidence that I happend to visit in the year of the rabbit and that I'm also... a rabbit?
This one was a very Korean new year spent with friends in Korean style bars and an Asian karaoke room. On New Year's Day, just like on every other around the world, the city was a complete ghost town. Steve and I spent the day at home playing cribbage, making Chinese ribs and brussels sprouts, and watching - appropriately - You Only Live Twice.
Happy New Year!
