May the Year of the Pig bring you prosperity!
George--
Happy New Year--bad puns and all.
Ah yes, Happy New Year to you and the lovely bride and younguns!
Pronounced Dorshy? Meaning congrats?
Thailand makes a really big deal out of Chinese new years. I went to Wat Chalong in Phuket the other night which was at the centre of the celebrations in that province. There must have been 50000 people at the celebration, markets etc. Of course the Thais also celebrate the Western new year and the Thai new year in April. I think they just like to party!
It's so cool that I love pigs so much ( I collect piggy banks) and my baby is going to be born the year of the pig.

Actually dor jeh is how it's pronounced, or at least as close as English
transliteration can get to Cantonese. It means "thank you".
Hermione was born in the Year of the Pig.
I am a Rooster.
The Lovely Bride and Nigel are Dragons.
Clive is an Ox.

If it's a boy you can name him Arnold.
Your last name isn't Ziffel by any chance?
I went to Super 88, our big East Asian supermarket to see whassup, and indeed, was met with a promenade of dragons and drums. Fun, if too loud in closed environs.
I am celebrating with rice cake and other goodies. Feng shui or whatever you say. Simply Happy new year!
Hey Bella, and Hermione is sharp as a tack! Good year.
I'm a dog.
E.G.'s a monkey.
sozlet's a dragon.
All fit scarily well.
Getting my sweater ready for the New Year's festivities.
Gotta wear some red for good luck.
Little red envelopes with money to hand out to my kids and nephews and nieces.

What does tien tien mean?
I'm a monkey.
No, it doesn't mean "I'm a monkey."
Do you know that famous song by Ren and Stimpy: "I want to be a monkey, monkey monkey monkey..." well I got it lodged in my head firmly ever since I read your "I am a monkey" and you are to blame.
I am a dragon, which tien tien also doesn't mean.
(and no, I have not been drinking today. It's only one of my 'can speak no english' days)
I'm a pig according to the Chinese astrology; I'm looking forward to that "prosperity!"
