Hello, netters,

I believe Chinese New Year is the best one. No ideology will
be involved on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, the only
thing you need to do is to relax and have a good sleep, a 
good meal, a happy family get-together, play, drink, etc.

All Chinese, as well as some Asian countries, will keep the Chinese
New Year on 23 Jan, 1993. At that time no CSS will work, though
they may have worked on Xmas Eve, Xmas Day, Boxing Day, but they
definitely won't work on 23 Jan, 1993.

If you don't believe me, have a look at the calender - it's Saturday.

Please accept my greetings.

I'm sorry, but that character in the middle represents `happy'
rather than `disaster' as it seems.
