The Chinese New Year is Feb. 3, and it's the Year of the Rabbit. What does that mean? It's a welcome year, according to Chinese astrology, after the tumultuous Year of the Tiger. With the rabbit comes calm and tranquility. For others, though, it's an excuse to explore other cultures, and buy Asian-inspired goods.
Who are we kidding? You don't need an excuse to do that. From China to Taiwan, Japan to Hong Kong, celebrate the Year of the Rabbit with a little fried rice, an appreciation for all things Asian and some bamboo for good luck. Happy New Year!
