| Chinese Symbol for the Year of the Dragon |
January 23rd is the start of
Year of the Dragon, which, according to the Chinese Zodiac, is an extremely
auspicious sign. Coming along once every twelve years, it is the ultimate
symbol signifying success and happiness.
And if that isn’t a reason to celebrate its arrival, I don’t know what
is. In China, it is a 15-day celebration,
the longest of any in the Chinese calendar.
The entire country goes on holiday at least part of the time. Everyone
tries to return to their villages and the trains, buses and planes are
unbelievably packed with people.
