Happy Lunar New Year

Happy New Year!

For everyone using the western calender, January 1st was the start of the New Year. For everyone using the lunar calender, the start of the new year began on February 5 2019.
The Lunar New Year is the start of the Spring Festival for many countries in Asia, including China, South Korea, and  Japan.

Lunar New Year is celebrated with wearing the lucky colour red, gathering with family, eating lots of delicious food and it is custom to give little red envelopes with money to children and young adults who are not married. In accordance with the Chinese Zodiac Calender, every year is celebrated with a different animal. 2019 is the Year of the Pig.

Check the image below to see what animal you are, depending on the year you were born!
