Actually to all the US types on this list, this note might be
confusing. The English translatation should be the "Year of the Ox".
Tran said Buffalo which is literally right, but it gets confusing for
us Western types as we think of the Buffalos of the wild west in the
states not the water buffalo which is correct.

Also my Vietnamese primer wrote it like this:

"Chuc muang nam moi"

or pronounced something like this:

"Chuck mung nam mouri" (the last with very litte r).

Kim.

PS Love Asian languages.
