Happy Chinese New Year, everyone. I'm a bit down because I didn't get any lucky money this year. No fireworks, no dragonboat races, no lion dances, no tikoy (that sweet sticky rice cake). Might drop by Chinatown this weekend and see what's happening there.
Picked up some interesting trivia from the 'Net:
- 2005 is the Year of the Rooster. There are 12 animal names, and they're rotated every 12 years.
It's also the year of Yiyou. The name of the year is recycled every 60 years.- The Chinese New Year is the second New Year after the winter solstice.
