search out one wise thing,
choose one good thing;
for thus you will stop the ceaseless tongues of babbling men.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Kung Hei Fat Choi!

An auspicious year for the dogs.

I think a job in Hong Kong would be pretty exciting... I was given cause to think of this by my Chinese friends....but the relative merits of Asia will have to wait.

If I can get my hands on a camera... pictures of Chinatown to come.
