We're just days into 2011, and there's already another New Year's on the horizon: The Year of the Rabbit.
On the Chinese zodiac calendar, Feb. 3 marks the end of the Year of the Tiger and the start of the Year of the Rabbit. And even though New Year's Day is still a month away, it seems like some people are already getting the party hopping.
Divers at the COEX Aquarium in Seoul, South Korea, dressed like rabbits and swam with a school of fish on Friday for an early celebration of the new year, which is observed -- with some variation -- thoughout much of Asia.
The Chinese zodiac calendar follows a 12-year cycle, meaning the Year of the Rabbit might be your year if you were born in 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987 or 1999.
Believers in Chinese astrology say the Year of the Rabbit, sometimes called the Year of the Hare, ought to be more peaceful than the highly volatile Year of the Tiger.
Though some predict that the Year of the Rabbit will be more calm than last year, that doesn't mean you can't ring in the new year with a major party. Expect large Chinese New Year parades in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City.
