While in San Francisco, I had the chance to watch the Chinese New Year parade as it passed along Geary St. (From my hotel window, since it was raining, and a bit chilly.)Read more in this San Francisco Chronicle story, along with a photo gallery.
Another Chronicle story contained several little-known rat facts. For example, male rats make better lap pets, since they're content to just sit and have their ears scratched. (Females are more curious, and like to play and explore.) And, be wary of letting your male and female rats play together, since "rats can complete the courting ritual and the whole romantic relationship in about two seconds."
The Chinese Year of the Rat actually began on 7 February.
