Episode 28: The year of the dog
Alice: |
Happy Chinese New Year Helen! What are you doing? |
Helen: |
Reading about our Chinese astrology signs. |
Alice: |
Oh do tell. |
Helen: |
Well, I was born in ’86 so I’m a tiger. I have an air of authority and am courageous but I’m also prone to emotional outbursts and react poorly under stress. |
Alice: |
Oh, what am I? |
Helen: |
You are 3 years older than me so you’re a pig. |
Alice: |
A pig? Charming! |
Helen: |
No, it’s different in Chinese culture. A Chinese pig is magnanimous and highly intelligent. You’re a perfectionist but venomous if you’re crossed. |
Alice: |
It’s all true! What about Michal? |
Helen: |
Well, he’s 21 so he’s an ox. He’s dependable, methodical, honest, unbiased but introverted too. |
Alice: |
Ooh, so does that bode well for you two or not? |
