Chinese New Year - Year of Goat

Saw this impressive Dragon procession today in Swanston Street - Melbourne. I was told that this is a part of the celebration of Chinese New Year. As per Chinese calendar, this year is considered to be the year of Goat or associated with Goat. The actual New Year day, this year for Chinese was on Feb 19th.The 12 zodiac animals are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. So, depending on the Month and year you are born, you are associated with a Animal. There you go, I just found out that I am a Pig; that too a Gold Pig.What are you.?

 Interesting stuff, from one of the oldest cultures of the world.
