Today marks the start of the six day Lantern Festival where the first two days are dedicated to hanging up and decorating, well, lanterns of course. The last day when the lanterns get taken down will officially mark the end to the Chinese New Year festivities. Take a look outside, and you may even see kids walking the streets with bright colorful lanterns shaped as different fun objects.

FHM gives us an intimate look at their January cover girl, Akemi Katsuki. The 24-year-old supermodel is of Japanese-Brazilian mix and is currently based in Taiwan. With these credentials all you can really say is… “Wow”.

A few months back when I saw the Juke-R for the first time I chuckled. I had the slightest clue how you go from a GT-R to this little bugger. Today I know why. Although the Juke-R inherits the same engine specs as the GT-R at 480 horses and a 3.8 liter V6 twin turbo, it has one obvious advantage… size. Here we have the Juke-R up against a Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 458 Italia, and Mercedes-Benz SLS. The Juke-R’s light weight allows it to quickly cut corners and pick up acceleration. Though if this track were just one straight-shot, the outcome probably would have been much different.

Took this as I was walking a side street back to the hotel in Hangzhou. Couldn’t help but stop and think what the purpose was for laying out these veggies like so.

Got 1.2 million dollars to spend? Well even if you do, you wouldn’t be able to splurge on this Rolls-Royce Phantom Year Of The Dragon special edition which sold out two months after launching in August 2011. This handsome price tag is sure to bring home impressive numbers for Rolls-Royce China as Phantoms are normally priced around $380,000. The count of how many were sold have not been released.
