The Year of the Metal Tiger begins on February 14, 2010.
According to Chinese astrology the year a person is born in influences his or her personality. People born in the year of the Tiger are said to be courageous, intelligent and impulsive.
The Chinese New Year Festival hosted by the City of Sydney looks to be fantastic this year, with plenty of events, performances, a parade and markets that give us the chance to connect with and learn more about the richness of Chinese culture. Check out http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/cny/Default.aspx and head down to Chinatown from 12-28 February to experience some of the celebrations.
