New calendar for 2012!
Hi everyone! I hope you find this site helpful. I get alot of help from everyone who submits event info, especially from Jay G. who is really in-the-know of local asian events. For the new year, I decided to add a calendar feature with Google calendar, so you can more easily add the events to your schedule. (Psst, if you have a smartphone, you can get the Google calendar to show up on your phone!) Hope you like it!
