Têt 2009 - Year of the Ox/Buffalo
We're now officially in the Year of the Ox. That's technically a water buffalo in Asian terms but 'ox' sounds so much stronger, right?
Water buffalos are beloved work animals in Vietnam. They're often featured in Viet artwork and make people smile with nostalgia for peaceful times.
