It's the Year of the Tiger!

Ancient Chinese Friendship Poem

If you were riding in a coach, and I were wearing a straw hat,

and one day we met in the road,

you would get down and bow.

If you were wearing a straw coat, and I were riding on a horse,

and one day we met in the road,

I would get down and bow for you.

I want to be your friend, forever and ever,

without break or decay.

When the hills are all flat, and the rivers are all dry;

when it lightens and thunders in winter;

when it rains and snows in summer;

when Heaven and Earth mingle ---

not till then will I part from you.

Our heartfelt wishes to all that every step you take in the New Year will lead you to good fortune, happiness and good health.
