dawei Posted February 4, 2019 Looks like Sean got the banner up just in time Chinese New Year 2019 is observed Feb. 4-10th. Yesterday, my wife asked me, why are you cleaning the house... I said, no reason. She said this is common to do before Chinese New Years starts. I wanted to ask if that means I only have to clean once a year Any words for what we can expect this year ? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apech Posted February 5, 2019 I really don't like that brown pig that has appeared. It is ugly and out of place on the home page. Is this a sign? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks completely out of place on the home page. In a follow up to Sean, he agrees this is a wild boar seemed to fit for an earth pig and tried to play with the colors a bit but said 'this passionate pig keeps telling me that it's happy and proud and wants to be appreciated as is'. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lost in Translation Posted February 7, 2019 Could we get a thread with copies of the previous TDB banner images? It would be fun to have a Dao Bums Chinese Zodiac. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
