The wood Horse year

I know this subject is a little in opposite with a matter topic of my blog, however I will talk about Chinese New Year. Today in Poznań, the students of sinology prepared a little party to welcome the wood Horse year. From 4 pm to 8 pm were different attractions. It was possible to practice Chinese calligraphy (it is always good fun;)), to mold the dumplings (jiaozi, in Japan called gyōza) and to participate in a lecture about the celebration of New Year in China. After that we listened to the Chinese horoscope for the year. At 6 pm were performances of wushu style (this is a very dynamic form of martial art) and of tai chi chuan style (I was doing this with my group, among other things :P) My friend of Tai Chi, he is great in this form of martial art and I think his performance was genius! At the end we had a Chinese dinner. 
This evening was amazing and I hope for the next time :) 


I do not believe in horoscopes, but according to what I heard today, I'm screwed :P The Chinese symbolic is very rich and detailed. It's amazing that the Chinese attach to it so much attention since ancient times.
In the Chinese horoscope I am a horse, and do you know what's your sign?
