Singapore, Asia (2019)

The people will be celebrating the year of the pig in the Chinatown part of Singapore, Asia.

Apparently, people born in the year of the pig are innocent, and they enjoy happiness. They are laid-back, caring, considerate and kind, which makes them the best friends to have. Unfortunately, no one is perfect. People born in this zodiac year are also immature, simple-minded, and not financially intelligent.
