Happy New Year to all! Yes, that's right! It's time to celebrate the Chinese New Year! Now this New Year is considered the year of the Rabbit 兔 which is the fourth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. So being a lover of all cultures as well as any excuse to go to Chinatown, SAXOMAN convinced the wife to go and check out the local New Year's festivities. Just getting there was an experience as the train was jam packed. Once there, there was a parade with the Mayor of Los Angeles as well as marching bands, floats and other political dignitaries. A good time was had by all as little kids from other cultures dressed up in their Asian costumes. While I was there of course I had to see what was new in the world of Asian cinema but there really wasn't anything new out yet. Oh well......Anyway, because Chinatown was so crowded we decided to hop the train to Little Tokyo. Once there the wife and I enjoyed a delicious meal at one of L.A.'s great ramen houses, Daikokuya. Oh yeah!
