		<description>I believe those words hold much wisdom Martyn.Now before I continue I&#039;ll have to wipe the coke from my screen.:)

As far as holidays go ...if a buck can be made then it will be over commercialized. I&#039;m surprised it&#039;s not a national holiday in America yet.</description>

		<description>The Year of the Ox. Thai people won&#039;t like me saying this but the Ox characteristics you describe above are not dissimilar to that of your average Thai citizen. Calm, modest, bears hardship well. Character traits that would be well up their pecking order. Patience, quiet but relaxed sociability and little imagination, one of those would be very near the top. But like I said I don&#039;t think they would favour being compared to an Ox.
Are the Chinese New Year celebrations going the way of the western world and Christmas. Is it losing it&#039;s traditional values to the 21st century China and it&#039;s new prosperity, I wonder.
A day off today so perhaps I&#039;ll celebrate by dipping a few prawn crackers in my lager....Good luck...Martyn.
