The Last Day of Year of Pig

Today is the last day of the year of the Pig!

Tomorrow is the first day of the Chinese New Year, the year of Rat...

P.S. Why there are Disney Mickey everywhere these days?

I think Disney is calling this next year the "Year of the Mouse" and plans to promote Mickey Mouse very heavily.

Happy New Year!

Hello!

I have one big question hehe..

I have a friend whose birthday is February 5th, 1978 at 10:00 am Mexico City time (The time difference is 14 hours)

Could you help me to deduce whether she is a horse or a snake?

Thanks hehe.

And Gong Xi Fa Cai! Kung He Fat Choi! Happy Rat New Year! All the best!

Feb. 18 1977 - Feb. 6 1978 is snake.

so Feb 5, 1978 at Mexico city time should be about mid night of Feb 6 Beijing time but still it's not Feb 7 yet. Your friend should be a snake.

Also, we should always use the local timezone to calculate the birth time.
