There is something both ridiculous and beautiful about traditions in any culture, and the same holds for the annual sacred oxen festival where 2 “holy” sacred oxen will dictate the fortunes of the country.

The results this year were that there will be plenty of food and water for agriculture and that communication and foreign trade will improve thereby leading to a prosperous economy and if you believe this then go ahead and buy agri, telco’s and export related co’s (also watch some pigs at the same time). Then again last year the oxen predicted that the country will have a lot of water (fail), abundant food production (fail, unless you are CP group), and a good harvest.
