To all my Chinese friends out there, Gong Xi Gong Xi! Happy Chinese New Year! It's the year of the rat, and I've lived 2 cycles in the Chinese Zodiac. I think that if it were called the year of the mouse, it won't be so 'lively', as mice are generally more timid compared to rats. I mean, the rodents you see in the backstreets of Uptown D'sara are really rats, not mice. These rats have bristled hair and segmented looking tails, really grotesque! I would consider petting a mouse, but maybe not a rat because of the impression I have of them. You watch those 80's cartoons and you'll see rats portrayed as mean and nasty rodents!
I have seen several documentaries however, and this guy travels to India and adopts a rat as a pet. He travels with it in his car, makes a special seat for it, and let's it eat from his mouth! The rats huge, I must say.
Either way, I wish you prosperity beyond your own comprehension this year of the rat. Just make sure you prosper financially, spiritually, and physically fit...
No, not this 'physical prosperity at the behind'!
