We went down to Chinatown for the big New Years celebration today. After some shopping and a delicious dim sum lunch we visited nearby cache http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GCRAD9 and decided to place one to commemorate the day. Happy New Year!
In the Chinese zodiac, the Snake is listed after the Dragon, but its place and its significance as a symbol of worship is far less than that of the Dragon. it carries the meanings of malevolence, cattiness and mystery, as well as acumen, divination and the ability to distinguish herbs. In some places, people believe that a snake found in their court can bring delight. During Spring Festival, people like to paste onto their doors and windows the paper-cut 'Fu' character (happiness), combined with a snake twisting around a rabbit onto their doors and windows as a popular pattern indicating wealth.
