Happy New Year?

Today happens to be Chinese (and Korean, Vietnamese, etc, etc) New Year, or the first day of the Spring Festival.

While many of us don't think about it, we actually celebrate the new year at various times throughout the world, something we can take advantage of as travellers!

If you're in Singapore, for instance, you might find some mandarine oranges in your room on this day, and you should definitely go downtown to partake in the celebrations. Even though the celebrations last for several days, DON'T WAIT! GO NOW! The first day is the party day. Tomorrow is a family day, which means the city (especially Chinatown) pretty much is shut down.
