When I read one of the news paper article, one of the subtitle was "dog show will be celebrate lunar year theme".

I was so existed thinging that they were goiong to present a real Dog Show (even Beauty, would have been ok) but it's about Circus, que decepción.

Wait a minute mister

Are you sure, in Chinatown

Seriously, I was looking at the news paper this morning and there were no highlights on the subject so I am just wondering where would it be the best place (s) to go and witness the New Year Celebration.

If you're enjoying 2006, then you're going to love 4703. That's right: It's time to ring in the Chinese New Year ... January 29 kicks off the Year of the Dog! The sign of the dog is known, not surprisingly, for loyalty and generosity. Need to spill a secret? Seek out one of these honest souls and bend that expert listening ear. While Dogs themselves may be reluctant to place their trust in just anyone, once they do, members of this sign can make the best business partners and leaders. And while Dogs might enjoy life more by relaxing their exacting standards from time to time, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better or more faithful friend. So what can we expect from the upcoming year? The Dog is an ethical and idealistic sign, and the year that bears its name will also bring increased social awareness and interest in society's less powerful members. Any tendencies to take, take, take will be replaced by a widespread sentiment of generosity and selflessness. In general, we will all be imbued with the Dog's keen sense of right and wrong. You can also get a feel for the year to come by checking the compatibility between your Chinese sign and the sign of the dog -- the better your compatibility, the better your year. Happy New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai (may you have wealth and prosper)! see, we're not only picking on you LOL-- Edited by Julie at 08:39, 2006-01-26
