Chinese dream 2012: new year dragon symbolises 'change'
新年快乐! 23 January sees the Chinese people officially welcoming in the lunar new year. The dragon, the fifth out of the twelve zodiac signs, is the guiding patron according to the Chinese calendar. People born in the year of the dragon are characterised by their wit, brightness of mind and braveness - all of the above are exactly what crisis-stricken Europe would expect of its politicians! According to the Chinese calendar, luck will accompany the political moves of the Portugese prime minister Pedro Passos Coelho as well as his Czech counterpart Petr Nečas, both born in 1964. As the Europeans wait for what 2012 will bring, some will be able to come face to face with the Chinese culture in cities such as London or Paris, when the celebrations are moved to a Sunday, 29 January this year (Image: © Kristof)
