Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, The Year of the Rabbit. Vancouver is a city with a strong Asian presence and today everyone was greeting each other in person or online with the Chinese wish for a prosperous new year, "Gung Hay Fat Choy!". This seems an appropriate date, then, to commence our new blog. Sadly, however, today was not an auspicious start to the new year for me. I've been under the weather and it's been rainy and cold. And I didn't manage to take any photos. Chinese new year and Lunar Fest celebrations commenced tonight in downtown Vancouver, but I did not make it. But... the good news is that they will continue each night into the weekend, so hopefully I'll be able to take in the celebrations and maybe get some good photos. In the mean time, I am posting a photo taken just a few days ago because it is representative of what is going on outside again tonight. I can guarantee you, that park bench looks exactly the same tonight as I type this.... nice and wet!
