Kung Hei Fat Choy (or Gong Xi Fa Cai as they say in Mandarin) – the Year of the Dog welcomed in yesterday with the usual cacophony of drums and cymbals and leaping Chinese lions (and last night with a city skyline swamped with red and yellow fireworks for the better part of 30 minutes – Disneyland chiming in towards the end to ensure the entire sky was alight) … you can tell you have lived in a foreign country too long when you’re like “yeah, yeah, seen it all before, want to go to the movies instead?!?!”
