CHINESE YEAR

The year of the Rabbit will start on Feb. 16, 1999.

On the same day, another great portion of humanity will have the joy to celebrate Mardi Gras.

Chinese New Year is celebrated on the first day of the first Lunar month of the year. The party goes on for the first three weeks of the new moon. 

Like in other cultures, New Year symbolizes the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring. All debts are paid, new clothes are bought, everything is cleaned. A new cycle begins. 

All the Chinese people get a year older on Chinese New Year, it is everybody's birthday. 

For many weeks before New Year, special food is prepared, homes are decorated with red and orange ornaments, scrolls are hung with good wishes : Good Health, Happiness, Happy New Year, Long life! 

What a long movie... is about all you will hear if you listen to what people have to say when they come out of the theater after watching Martin Brest's "Meet Joe Black".

It took nearly 3 hours (2 hours and 58 seconds, to be precise) for Anthony Hopkins to finally meet who is behind Joe Black. 

If some movies are intense because of their fascinating dialogues, this one will strike mostly by its silences. The artistic expected effects seemed to have been shadowed by a strict direction, and you spend long moments wondering what they are trying to show you.

You would like a web page, your business is small but it deserves an international window. Your advertisement budget is rather limited but you would like to develop and use your century's methods of marketing.

Your daughter and son are bugging you :"Come on Dad, get Internet!", your wife or husband cheers some more "it would be great to join the crowds". So you think of killing two birds with the one stone, make everyone happy and improve your commerce.

There are easy ways to do so.
