Happy New Year!

Kung Hei Fat Choi! Happy New Year!

Today is the start of the year 4702 on the Chinese calendar. It's the year of the Rooster!

Last year for Chinese new year, I went out for dim sum with my friend Carol in Munich. That was a fun way to celebrate! This year I will be working. But hey, roosters are high on my list of favorite things, so I'm sure I'll be celebrating on the inside.
