Subject: PSGSA Celebrates Chinese New Year of the Dragon!
Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:33:06 -0600
From: K Podolsky <umpodolk(a)cc.umanitoba.ca>

*PSGSA-CHINESE SPRING FESTIVAL CELEBRATION!*
*Happy New Year of the Dragon! **?????**(Lóng nián kuài le!)*
The Dragon is magnificent. In China, the Dragon is the imperial symbol,
the sign of the emperor. The Dragon is also synonymous with power and
wealth. The Dragon falls on the following years: 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952,
1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, and 2012. It is said that people born in the
year of the Dragon carry a natural charisma and are gifted with power
and luck. They are egoistical and ambitious, almost to the point of
megalomania, and will stop at nothing to get what they want. They can be
successful as actors, singers, bankers, financiers, politicians,
pharmacists and quite comfortable in the place of many other
professions. Some famous people born in the year of the Dragon are Bruce
Lee (1940), Florence Nightingale (1820), Paul Allen (1952), and
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844). You can try to say the following words to
your Chinese friend:
*?????**(X?n nián kuài lè!) Happy New Year!*
*????**(Guò nián h?o!) Happy New Year!*
*?????**(G?ng x? f? cái!) I wish You Great Prosperity!*
*?????**(Lóng nián jí xiáng!) Good Luck in the Year of the Dragon!*
/_We are going to order Chinese food to celebrate Chinese Spring Festival._/
