Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! Today, two weeks of celebrating commences. It's the Year of the Dragon (hence the pic, above), and the Chinese year is 4710.
The Phoenix Chinese Cultural Center is about a mile from where I work, and back when I was learning Mandarin at the local community college, we'd take a field trip each (new) year there to enjoy the festivities and soak up Chinese culture. The only catch, of course, was that we had to do all our conversing in Mandarin, with our professor watching. It was a blast, although I'm sure the Chinses merchants "forgave" a lot of errors on our part.

Sounds fantastic! I'm taking the kids this Friday to enjoy the festivities. Happy New Year!
You'll have a blast. There are usually dancers and singers, etc. and positively delicious food.
