Happy New Year! Over the next two weeks Lunar New Year, Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival will be celebrated with fireworks, parades, spending time with family, gifts, traditional dances and more.
What year were you born in?
There are 12 Chinese zodiac animals which represent the years. 2020 is the Year of the Rat – the very first of the zodiac animals. If you’re born on a year of the rat (1972, 1984, 1996, 2008) then you’re likely to be optimistic, energetic and liked by all. Lucky colours include blue, gold and green and your lucky numbers are 2 and 3.
