Gung Hey Fa Choy


Interesting point to note.

Google are recognizing the Lunar New Year by a distinctive banner logo today.

However, in the UK, Google are just having another day.Is this driven by Britain being more insular? Or it because of recent immigration troubles in the UK, or is it just a lack of awareness?

Google.com are located here in the South Bay. With large Asian populations (Chinese in SF and Oakland, Vietnamese in San Jose) locally awareness is much greater. Is it a Silicon Valley thing, or is this universal across America?

On further investigation, the new year splash in on Google's regional variants for Hong Kong, China and Korea.
