Gung Hei Fat Choi!

Today marks the first day of the Lunar New Year 4706 - The Year of the Rat. Around the world, people will gather around the world to greet family members, share food, enjoy cultural events and hopefully make off with some serious Lai Tsi. Except perhaps in the People's Republic of China, where the Communist regime, like a lot of things, muscles in and tries to spoil any fun which doesn't portray the corrupt, hypocritcal 'revolution' in a positive light.
