Incredible pictures in The Atlantic Monthly capturing the New Year celebrations in Asia. Be warned, the photo of the man with the live snake is, well, words fail.

Also, as the New Year marks the mass migration of Chinese home for the holidays, one of my original posts is worth reviewing:
To get an idea of the sheer number of Chinese
citizens, not to mention the issues they face in the move from rural to urban
dwellers, I highly recommend you watch "Last Train Home." This is a documentary
produced in 2009 about the world's largest human migration that takes place once
a year. This film follows one family as they struggle to improve their lives by
seeking work in the city, leaving their ancestral village. It is heartbreaking,
but well worth viewing. - Peggy
You can watch the trailer on the web. The
documentary is available on Netflix.
