Welcome to 2012 and the Year of the Water Dragon!
Happy New Year! (or, if you are following the Chinese calendar – Happy Almost New Year!) 
I am thrilled to bid farwell to 2011 and I am really looking forward to 2012! The Chinese calendar is based on both lunar and solar movements. The lunar New Year is January 23, 2012 and the solar New Year is February 4, 2012.
