According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year
of 2010 is the
Year of the Tiger, which commences on February 14, 2010
and ends on February 2, 2011.
The Tiger is the third sign in the Chinese Zodiac cycle, and it is a
sign of bravery. This courageous and fiery fighter is admired by the
ancient Chinese as the sign that keeps away the three main tragedies of
a household. These are fire, thieves and ghosts.

- can be rebellious against authority, not afraid to protest
- friendly and loving but also can be selfish and short tempered
- can be indecisive, tending to make poor hasty decisions.

Just visit the supermarket of any major Canadian cities, and you will see all types of eggplants. But note, North American eggplant is large. An immigrant would notice that everything in Canada is BIG. People, plants, mosquitoes, flies, trees, food servings, houses, cars, yachts........ (coming soon - eggplant dishes from around the world)
