Chinese New Year 23rd January 2012 - the Year of the Dragon!
Happy New Year to all our Asian members.

Starting with this year of the (Water?) Dragon, is this going to be a fertile year, or have I read it incorrectly?

Re: Chinese New Year 21. January
Yes, it is on the 23rd, but since it is the weekend everyone will be heading back to their family homes if they can today. Plus, the real celebration is the new year's eve dinner.
