Chinese New Year

We welcomed the Chinese New Year (The Year of the Rat) with a big-bang party on the 9th. Our Chinese friends made every-effort to dish out some real nice cuisine and festivities. We sang and danced through the night. The 'God of Fortune' came around and gave us gifts. The person dressed as the God was none other than the great Tao from my previous study-group. Here are a few pictures from that eventful night.
