CHINESE NEW YEAR !



Actually the Chinese New Year began on January 26th, but celebrations continue long after that!
This year is the Year of the Ox.
Next year is my year, the Year of the Tiger! RAAAR!
We went to see the dance of the Lion Dragon, to chase away bad luck.



As you all know, the Chinese zodiac is symbolised by 12 animals, and it is believed that a person takes on the characteristics of the animal whose year he or she was born in.


Those people born in the Year of the Ox are supposed to be patient, speak little, they are excellent organisers and inspire confidence in others.
The home of the Ox is his castle, and he also enjoys spending much time in planting garden and trees. (sound like anyone you know?)



Ox people are able, ethical and aware, and co-workers can depend on their eyes for details. They work best when alone, and are mentally and physically alert.

Easy going, they can also be stubborn and hate to fail or be opposed. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster and Rat people.



Famous Ox people include Margaret Thatcher, Princess Diana, Catherine Freeman, Jane Fonda and George Clooney.
