How old are you in Chinese terms?
When a baby is born in China, using the old traditional method of counting one’s age, the child is already one. Then a year is added each Chinese New Year. So, on this basis, everyone in China is a year or two older than their chronological age.
i’ve blogged about his before. But now – thanks to my Chinese friend Zhihao – I’ve found a web site that enables you to calculate your age in Chinese terms. You can check it out here.
The downside of this approach is that it makes you older than you are or probably want to be. The upside is that the Chinese vernerate the elderly!
