I am a pig

Re: Chinese New Year - The Year of the Snake

There is a great display of lion dancing with the usual firecrackers put on at a mini chinatown in my nearest city. Very colourful and energetic, and brings in lots of visitors.

I treat it the same as the ordinary horoscopes. I look at them and go my own way.

I'm a Tiger

Re: Chinese New Year - The Year of the Snake

for years I thought I was a horse,
then I was told the Chinese New Year starts in March, so I had been a rat for years without knowing, as I was born under a wandering star,
sorry, as I was born before March, so hence in another year to the one which I had previously thought I had been born in

but as us Capricorns are sceptic, I didn't believe any of it

Re: Chinese New Year - The Year of the Snake

My opinion? It's the start of a new year, its just a different calendar to ours based around the moon cycles so it is a fact. Everything else is superstition.

I might go up to the Nan Tien Temple to watch the celebrations, the lion dance and the drummers.

Re: Chinese New Year - The Year of the Snake

Bit dangerous being a horse these days, :0 might keeep clear of Findus et all.

Re: Chinese New Year - The Year of the Snake

I dunno about that, can't tell what we're eating these days ,horse ,rat, cat,
goat, emu, dog, kangaroo ,camel, snake guinea pig, I'd guess all of them are on a menu somewhere ( hidden or not)

Re: Chinese New Year - The Year of the Snake

Can't wait for the year of the kangaroo

Re: Chinese New Year - The Year of the Snake

I would love to take part in the Chinese New Year Celebrations but I doubt anything will happen here. I have tried to ook up and see what I would be and I think I might be a monkey! I get on with everyone, apparently, except tigers (and I'd agree wholeheartedly that I would stay well away from them)
