Preparing for Chúc Mừng Năm Mới in Hanoi
Sun, January 22, 2012 at 4:29 AM Happy Lunar New Year in Hanoi at Hồ Hoàn Kiếm ("Lake of the Returned Sword" or "Lake of the Restored Sword")
ushering in the Year of the Water Dragon - guess who we know is a water dragon? Someone with a birthday on March 15???
Most people know that water covers 2/3 of our planet & comprises 95% of our bodies; we simply cannot live without it. In Chinese element theory, water produces wood, which signifies growth and is the natural element of the dragon. The dragon governs east/southeast, wealth accumulation & the hours of 7 a.m. - 9 a.m. Associated with thunder, lightning and arousal, the Water Dragon personifies creativity at its best.
