Preparing for Chúc Mừng Năm Mới in Hanoi

Happy Lunar New Year in Hanoi at Hồ Hoàn Kiếm ("Lake of the Returned Sword" or "Lake of the Restored Sword")


ushering in the Year of the Water Dragon - guess who we know is a water dragon?  Someone with a birthday on March 15???

Most people know that water covers 2/3 of our planet & comprises 95% of our bodies; we simply cannot live without it. In Chinese element theory, water produces wood, which signifies growth and is the natural element of the dragon. The dragon governs east/southeast, wealth accumulation & the hours of 7 a.m. - 9 a.m. Associated with thunder, lightning and arousal, the Water Dragon personifies creativity at its best.
