I've been looking at some of the art for this year from Vietnam, where I was for three lunar new year holidays. It's my favorite time to visit, and one year I sponsored the traditional dragon dance and gymnastics festivities at a community temple in Cholon, the ethnic Chinese section of Saigon.

No cabana monkeys, for some reason.
