QUESTION:
The year 2001 is what animal
year in Chinese astrology?
a) Horse (pronounced "Ma"
in Chinese)
b) Snake ("She")
c) Sheep ("Yang")
d) Tiger ("Lao hu")
e) Mouse ("Lao Shu")
ANSWERS:
a) Yo Ma, we have a wrong answer
here. (or was it yo, yo Ma?)
b) Yes, it is the snake! Reminders
to the superstitious: In China, if it is your
year, you should wear red at all times ("Your
Year" appears every 12 years). One red
scarf, necklace or bracelet will do. Also,
don't marry in your year or you will have
bad luck. People born in the year of the snake
are said to be frugal, cautious and protective.
Have a good year of the frugal snake!
c) If you chose this answer
you must be a Yang Gui Zi (inappropriate word
for a "foreigner"). Try again.
d) Cats are cool but go back
to school.
e) No, sorry.
