My Favourite Day - Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is celebrated in many countries around the world. Each new year is named after one of twelve animals. 2010 was the year of the tiger, 2011 the year of the rabbit and 2012 is the year of the dragon.

Hello, I'm Veronica. I was born as a snake. I quite like snakes, I like the way they move, they slide. Chinese New Year is quite cool for me because it lasts 15 days! And that's quite strange! I've been to China twice and it's wonderful! I recomend going to China on Cinese New Year!
