Smell of tangerines...

The smell of tangerines - I like it, as well as all other citrus fruits smell (and taste too)!

Though we celebrated New Year a month ago in Europe, in China it is today, 3rd of February. Here comes the year of White Rabbit - 白兔 (bai tu) - a year of peace and hospitality, serenity and warmth.

While New Years night, the Chinese visit each other wishing Happy New Year and present two tangerines - 2 is a harmonious balanced number and tangerines are a symbol of good luck, and oranges are for wealth.

Happy Chinese New Year! The year of white and fluffy gay rabbit :)
