<div class="IPBDescription">Everyone else can celebrate too!</div> It's the Chinese new years! The time where we have huge feasts, rice cakes, fireworks, tons of explosives going off at once, and most importantly receive money from our elderly.

Those who arnt Chinese shalt also receive enlightment: <a href='http://www.chinapage.com/newyear.html' target='_blank'>http://www.chinapage.com/newyear.html</a>

Whatever they do, they do with all their strength. For Boar Year people, there is no left or right and there is no retreat. They have tremendous fortitude and great honesty. They don't make many friends but they make them for life, and anyone having a Boar Year friend is fortunate for they are extremely loyal. They don't talk much but have a great thirst for knowledge. They study a great deal and are generally well informed. Boar people are quick tempered, yet they hate arguments and quarreling. They are kind to their loved ones. No matter how bad problems seem to be, Boar people try to work them out, honestly if sometimes impulsively. They are most compatible with Rabbits and Sheep.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
