0178 Year of the Tiger

Xin nian kuai le! That’s happy New Year in Chinese. It’s a Tiger year. The Chinese zodiac runs on a 12 year cycle and each year is governed by an animal: rat, ox , tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. . Each animal has its own characteristics and they’re all good. Yes. Even the rat. Every year that your age is a multiple of 12 is the year of your animal. So if you turn 12, 24 , 36, 48, 60 or – you get the picture – this year, you are a tiger. Because China’s calendar is lunar, the date of their New Year slips around in our calendar. The Year of the Tiger officially begins on February 14th. So in China, the New Year is yet to come. Those of you who have already broken or forgotten your resolutions? Do over! #china #hacker #ceas
