Yesterday the Year of the Cat ended in Vietnam, but in China, as we know, it was the Year of the Rabbit. – The origin myths of how the respective lunar calendar came about differ slightly, obviously. But fortunately in both countries everyone agrees: Today, on February 10th, 2024, the Year of the Dragon begins!
Therefore, to everyone who is connected to our department in any way, all the best for the Lunar New Year!
