Happy New Year!

Today marks the beginning of the 2012 Chinese New Year. This year we return to the most auspicious of the Chinese zodiac symbols, the dragon. The dragon is the only one of the 12 zodiac symbols to be represented by a mythical creature and is therefore considered an extra special sign to be born under. Government officials in Hong Kong are hoping that an expected increase in births this year, do to the dragon signs mystique, will help stem the negative growth rate in the native population.
