We ate with our students, Jason and Milton. They each brought us gifts. Jason gave us a Chinese calligraphy scroll with the meaning "Erudite and Wise" and Milton gave us a calendar with photographs of artifacts from Afghanistan. Unfortunately I couldn't get the calendar photos to post in the correct format!
12-year cycle of the Chinese Lunar calendar. This is the year of the tiger, and Alan and I were both born in the Year of the Tiger! Also, they believe that each animal has a special characteristic, so even if you are born in the year of the RAT, Milton said that a rat is very quick and smart!! Now about that rooster...?
