Happy Year of the Rat

A wander through London's Chinatown gave me the rodent picture for today. There were a few Year of the Rat goodies, but this was the best. Red lanterns swung above our heads as we strolled down the street to the clacking of wee drums. F and I didn't linger here, though, because it was late night opening at the Royal Academy. I can't recommend the From Russia exhibition enough - the paintings are... well, I can't do them justice with words. We're going again, and perhaps several more times. It's the best exhibition I've seen in London by far.
