Happy New (niu牛) Year!

The Year of OX (牛) will arrive in a few weeks when Spring Festivals falls on Jan. 26. In China people like to use 12 animals to represent the years. Those are mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. In China, instead of asking your age, people may ask you questions like \"what do you belong to?\" Don't ever think that you are expected to answer like \"I belong to the US\". You are supposed to belong to one of twelve animals!
