The year of the rat
In my Entrecard sitehopping I’ve found a lot of gems. One of the great things about Entrecard is that the users let the company know when there are inappropriate or spam blogs. So I’ve found nothing but quality blogs so far.
If you’ve looked at any of my articles in the sidebar you know that I used to have pet rats. So when I found a blog that talked about the history of the Chinese New Year’s Year of the Rat (2008), I couldn’t help but be intrigued.
For Singapore Entrepreneurs Only is a really interesting blog with a lot of useful information for entrepreneurs anywhere in the world.
The post about the Year of the Rat taught me how the rat came to be on the Chinese calendar, and gave some interesting predictions about the year 2008. Rats are fascinating creatures, known to be intelligent and tenacious. The Year of the Rat promises to be eventful with major political changes and a calm stock market.
Read more about the predictions for this year at For Singapore Entrepreneurs Only. While you’re there, take a look around. There’s something for everyone.
It’s nice to blog-hop without being bombarded by spam, isn’t it? I wish MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog were as proactive in eradicating it.
Thanks for a great post keep up the good work.
I’ve taken it upon myself to find out a bit more about this year of the rat also. I’m going to check out the blog that you mentioned.
I was given a beautiful Chinese Wall calender that had all 12 of the animals on it and it discusses their significance. It’s really very interesting.
But that’s as far as I want to go with a rat. That pet thing is out of the question. It took me a while to get used to my daughter’s rabbits because they can have a kinda ‘ratish’ face.

A calm stock market in 2008? There’s a 50% chance of recession in 2008, according to latest figures from economists. But then, when have economists ever been right about anything? Let’s hope the prediction turns out right…
