Ji Chou....The Chinese New Year date is 4706! (You may see it as 4707, also). The Chinese New Year of the OX begins this January 26th!
According to the Chinese legends, persons born in the Year of the Ox speak little, are patient and inspire confidence in those around them. BUT, could be a bit bigoted, eccentric and become angry easily....when they do talk, they have an eloquent way....usually mentally sharp and physically alert. Do not like to fail at anything and are rather easy-going. Tenacious, hardworking.
Princess Diana, George Clooney, Richard Nixon, Margaret Thatcher and Richard Gere were born in the Year of the Ox!
20% of the world's population, by the way, is Chinese.
As a sociologist, I like the Chinese custom by parents of "surr-prising" their children with little red envelopes, 'hong bao', containing $$$.
This year, 2009, is forcast to be an exciting year full of growth, stability and accomplishments, as the elements of Earth and Water will come together during the year!
This coming week would a good excuse to dine, with family and friends, at your fave Chinese restaurant. Have dined Chinese in D.C., Philadephia and New York's neat Chinatown, which I like, but my fave Chinese restaurant is in Williamsburg, Virginia...the Peking!!
