CHINESE NEW YEAR: Tonight's new moon, because it is the second new moon of
winter, marks the beginning of a new year--in China. According to the
Chinese calendar, Wednesday, Feb. 9th, is the first day of the year of the
rooster. Happy New Year!

Of course, all of the Chiniese runners in this forum are already aware of it and are celebrating in an appropriate fashion.

Just remember, the tiger is bigger, stronger, and faster than the rooster. Mr. Green

Well, sort of. His mother is Chinese but his father is Spanish.

Well, it is the Chinese New Year and there are Chinese folk in many parts of SE Asia...but as far as other nationalities celebrating the same day for the same reason? Nah, not really.
