The year of the dragon is considered to be the most auspicious.  I know that the birth and marriages go up during this year in Singapore, Hong Kong and China!!! By the way, I'm a dragon!

And I'm a wood rabbit. So I am an environmental pest.

I don't want to disappoint anyone, but last year was the year of the rabbit and it was supposed to be a calm year, according to the Chinese. Ask any Tunisian, Egyptian, Syrian or central banker how calm it was
