Fireworks Over Port Hercule

New Year 2013 made its debut in style in the Principality with a show of fireworks joining revellers around the world that lifted their glasses to celebrate in restaurants, their homes and on the streets. 

In the Chinese calendar it is the year of the Water Snake, the Yin to last year’s Dragon Yang, so it’s going to be a slow year for everyone, for some better than others. This is a Water year as well, the element most closely associated with education and research. Snake is a great and positive sign, with energy to help face the challenges ahead, so let’s take advantage of this vibrant influence to improve our lives, and our world.
