Happy Lunar New Year~!!!

In countries which uses the lunar calendar to count the days of a year, today will be Lunar New Year 2008. The zodiac animal which this year falls in is the year of the rat, also the first animal in the chronological cycle.

As a person of chinese origin, it is in my culture to rejoice to this special day. As towns and houses are decorate with drawings, ornaments and other forms of rat related symbols, it can be truely said that the country is over run with rats~ Only this time, no pipe piper is necessary as decorating objects with the zodiac symbol is an auspicious practice.

Wishing everyone who celebrates this day a wonderful Lunar New Year. For friends who don't celebrate this day, may you have a fantastic week ahead.
May all New Year wishes come true for you and wishing everyone the best of health and wealth in the year of the rat.
