Chinese horoscope – Year of the Water Dragon
http://www.tuvy.com/entertainment/horoscope/water_dragon.htm
Dragon people are the most eccentric in the Chinese Zodiac. Soaring high into the serene heavens, they can be stubborn, passionate, excitable, honest, and brave, wear purple and walk barefoot in public fountains. They listen to their own drummer, thank you very much, while the rest of the world stands in amazement. People always admire their individuality and feisty personality. Dragons are capable of doing great work for mankind and they inspire trust in almost everyone. The Dragon symbolizes life and growth and is said to bring the five blessings: harmony, virtue, riches, fulfillment and longevity.
Chicken Soup and Bamboo Shoots are among keys to even greater good health!

Flooding in Thailand
The 14th-century Siamese capital, listed as a UN World Heritage site, has been flooded for more than a week, according to the UN, which is sending a mission to Ayutthaya to survey the damage.
“This is the worst flood in our historical site in 16 years,” Somsuda Leeyawanich of the Thai Fine Arts Department told CNN.
“We are very concerned that if the site is under water for more than 30 days, it may cause serious damage,” she said. “The temples are over 400 years old.”
